Any way to detect of there are objects currently selected using Autolisp, visual lisp or even VBA. I would like to be able to do something using that as a conditional, so that (assuming the hypothetical variable isSelected is an on/off indicator of whether or not something is selected) I can code something like this:
(if (isSelected) (...))
I need a LISP that create a new layer and ask me for the name and the other properties (color,lw,lt..).
ask me if I want move the selected object for the new layer (yes is the default value)
I need a program to move some selected text to a line something like as extend command but for text objects!
suppose that there is a horizental line (y=constant) or vertical line (x=constant) and some selected text(or other objects), I want a lisp program that move these selected text (or objects) by their "insertion point" to this line.
in other word, if the selected base line is horizental (y=constant) then property of "Y" of all selected text should change to line's "Y"; and if selected base line is vertical (x=constant) then value of "X" of all selected text should match to line's "X" value.
for example, for base vertical line (x=constant) and 3 selected text(or can be any object) result is:
text1. | text1.|
text2. | ===> text2.|
text3. | text3.|
| .text1 |.text1
| .text2 ===> |.text2
| .text3 |.text3
How can I draw a The smallest rectangle enclosing for a selected set of objects in current drawing?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a way to extract (filter) all polylines, and loop a lisp based on the number that are found within a "W" selection window.I am frustrated getting "malformed list" or errors, even after defining "n" for repeat.The code I have so far looks like this:
(defun cWW (/ p1 p2 sspw myObj ss)
(setq p1 (getpoint "
Pick first corner: "))
(setq p2 (getcorner p1 "
Specify opposite corner: "))
(if
(setq sspw (ssget "W" p1 p2 '((0 . "*POLYLINE")))
[code].....
Without the (repeat () portion, it was working ok with selection window, however it only would run the commands for a single polyline. What needs to be done without overhauling the code? The lisp has worked on a drawing-wide basis, however needs to run on only on user-windowed polylines since there are other polylines within the drawing which are attached to layouts via viewports.
I want to code this lisp. The problem which I face is, In some drawings which come from the client, there are a lot of blocks.
I want to detect the blocks which has no sub-entities (but attribute) and add a rectangle inside this block, If it is an attribute add a line from 0,0, to insertpoint of attribute.
How do you detect the intersection of a line and circle or arc.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm putting together a simple lisp routine to issue bound, purged drawings.
I have code that will do the binding & purging but need handling the saving.
This is my approach :
(1) ask the user to save the drawing using this line (command "_saveas" "" "~")
(2) run a subroutine that binds xrefs etc (this works ok)
(3) run the QSAVE command
Trouble is, if the user cancels or hits escape during the SAVEAS command the subroutine & QSAVE will still run, overwriting the current drawing. How do I handle this scenario? Or should my appoach be different?
I need a LISP program that prompts: "select text(s)" then I select for example 100 text in open drawing file.
after that this program creat a file (LIST.CSV) and write each selected text in line by line of this file:
result text file (LIST.CSV ) should be:
Text1
Text2
Text3
...
...
Text99
Text100
ofcourse Text1 is the content of a text object.

I want this information to be added to the blocks as hidden attributes so that i can extract them by attout. The work to be done is : attout to excel, autofill an attribute (numbering) then attin.
but my problem is that i cant think of a way to number those blocks IN ORDER (ie top to bottom or left to right) unless by sorting them in excel first by their x or y coordinates
I need a LISP program to add a text given by user to all selected text.
in other words:
1- user selects some texts.
2- user give a text to program.
3- Program added this text to all selected text.
selected text: text1, text2, text3,text4,....,textn
given text by user: _xyz
Result:
text1_xyz, text2_xyz, text3_xyz,text4_xyz,....,textn_xyz
I need to convert a lot of different hatches to solid hatches.
I haven´t found a way to do it in Autocad 2012.

lisp routine that will add together the values of text entities? For instance, if I have a big parking lot and each section is labeled with the number of spaces, I could pick the texts and it would add all the numbers together to give me a total. Right now I export to excel to do this. I have quite a few situations where this would be handy, not just for parking spaces, so I really just want a lisp that will add all my selected numbers.

I need a program to trim selected text(s) with a divisor.
suppose that the divisor character is: "/"
(selected text==>result
textL/textR ==> textR
xxx/yyy ==>yyy
t12x/5678 ==>5678
I should use some commands like:
;;;;div="/":
(setq str "xxx/yyy")
(setq pos (vl-string-position (ascii "/") str))
(setq len (strlen str))
(setq RGT (substr str (+ pos 2) (-(- len pos)1))) ;;=text after "/"
but I need a LISP program that:
1-ask user to give a divisor char: (Divisor character: </>)
2-ask user to select text(s) but program should filter selected text(s) with divisor (*/* pattern)
(if (null #div#)(setq #div# "/"))
(if (and
(setq #div# if (= (setq tmp (getstring (strcat "
Divisor character: <" #div# "> ") ) ) "" ) #div# tmp ) )
(setq ss (ssget "_:L" (list '(0 . "*TEXT") (cons 1 (strcat "*" #div# "*")))))
)
I think there is a function that will cause the selected object that is in the XRef to highlight.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI having real difficulty finding a lisp that will find and replace blocks. There are plenty out there and AutoCAD 2013 and lower has a Find and Replace Blocks. However, the frustrating catch is I can seem to find a routine that will allow me to replace only those blocks that I select with a selection set of my choosing. The built in function replaces all of them and will not let you exclude some. We have PID drawings that we want to replace valves on, but not all valves. We don't want to rename. We don't need to BEDIT the existing block.
1) Pick group of blocks
2) specify a new block that will replace all instances of old block
3) replace inserted block with different block. Leaving others alone.
I'm thinking this should be easy, but my search has failed. The blocks in question are not dynamic or attributed either.
When i export revit drawing with revit family
the revit family become block in autocad like this
M_Single-Flush - 700 x 2200mm-278353-Ground Level _0_45
usually i want to remove the ID and view name to become like this without have to re type because it is tedious
M_Single-Flush - 700 x 2200mm
something like how many letters you want to remove from last to first ?
or something better like remove this last two dash and the letters embedded inside ( that separate name-ID-View name) -278353-Ground Level _0_45?
i.e. it would be usefull for separating the top and bottom of a sheet metall or plastic part.
Other cad systems I have seen have a function to do this automatically....
I need a lisp routine which will delete all the dimensions inside selected block or blocks, including nested blocks inside.
View 9 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to determine the type of ACAD object that the user selected? I need to retrieve the value from either a dimension or text. The info could be in either format so the lisp routine needs to determine what was selected so the correct vla-get command is used.
Once I determine what the object is I can use an if statement to retrieve the value.
;user selects the object
(setq dimobj (vlax-ename->vla-object(car(entsel))))
;If ACAD object is a dimension do this.
(setq dimvalue (vla-get-textoverride dimobj))
;If ACAD object is text do this.
(setq dimvalue (vla-get-textstring dimobj))
I am trying to write a program to align a block with two selected destination points.
- first the user is prompted to select a lwpolyline of a block entity
- then he is prompted to pick two destination points
I face problem with the sub-routine SegmentPts. It is supposed to return the coordinates of two vertexes on both sides of the picked point on a lwpolyline using entsel. But here in my program, when i am picking a point using entsel on a lwpolyline inside a block entity, it is not returning the two vertexes on both sides of the picked point. In stead, it returns some other points of the selected LWPOLYLINE. Why it is doing so? Where is the problem in my program?
It works fine with my other programs where i pick on a LWPOLYLINE entity. In this particular case, the LWPOLYLINE is inside a Block entity and the program is not returning correct points.
Please check Lisp Program below:

I am not sure how to (a) erase the selected north block, then (b) make the insert north block in its place bit work.
You have a dwg with multiple sets of different blocks and a circle you want to place on the insert point of each set blocks.
You select the circle then select one of the blocks in the set and the circle is placed on the insert point of each of the blocks in that set. It would save time from doing it manually and save on mistakes.
