AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Insert A Block / Explode And Rename Nested Block With Suffix
Nov 30, 2012I have a block that i want to insert several times and revised each one to be different to do this i would have to insert it and rename the blocks that come in and then reinsert i would like to insert and have a lisp explode the main block and rename the other 2 blocks with a suffix at the end depending on how many times its in the drawing... can this even be done? My original block name that will be first inserted is "BENT PULLEY NOTES" it needs to explode after i drop it in and then there are 2 blocks within that called "Bent Pulley" and "Bent Pulley DYN" that i was hoping to keep the names but add a number at the end depending on how many are in the drawing already...
here is a lisp that i have found... it would work if i didn't have nested blocks and only wanted the one block to be insert and not explode...
(defun c:Test (/ e i name Bname )
(setq e nil)
(command "_.-insert" "Drawing1.dwg" pause "" "" "")
(if (setq e (entlast))
[Code] .......
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Tool Palette Macro To Insert Explode Block
Mar 29, 2013It's been too long since I created one of these for Toolbars. I need a macro that will insert and explode a block. I just need the block's content, not the block itself. I can create a maco to explode a block with no path, but can't remember how to include the "*" in a file with a folder path to explode the block while its being inserted. Because of spaces in the file name, quotes (") must be around the path.

Oct 10, 2011I have used Lisp and the insert command to do *blockname to explode the insertion of a block. This sets the explode check mark on the insert dialog. Once I set it on the next insert an explode occurs. I do not find away to turn it off.
Is there some trick to use that will uncheck the explode box. I don't seem to find any system variable. I thought of inserting a dummy block without the asterisk. I thought about trying to do a cancel somehow on insert.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: How To End Application
Jul 10, 2012Is there a command that is the opposite of starting an application to open up a file? Like:
(startapp "PlaySound.exe" (findfile "CuckooClock.wav"))
Instead of starting an application, how to shut all of its instances down. Let’s say I have iTunes and/or Internet Explorer w/ a few tabs open and I can close them down without getting to the application to terminate it the usual way.
Naturally,
(endapp "iTunes.exe") doesn’t work :-))

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Removing Nested Block From Main Block?
Oct 3, 2013I get an AutoCAD drawing from my conveyor manufacturer who have buried a block (tagname) in all of their conveyor blocks.
The only way to remove them is to manually use BEDIT and erase the tagname block.
Is there a way through Autolisp to search all blocks in a drawings and if the tagname block is part of the definition of the conveyor block, erase the tagname block or redefine the conveyor block without the tagname block.
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Retrieving Block Name Of Anonymous Block

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Block Insertion Routine Based On Block File Name
Apr 5, 2013Create a routine that looks for a block based on a portion of that block name, using a specified path or search path.
For example, block to search for is BLOCKABC123, so if someone inputs ABC or 123 as a block name, it will locate that block within that folder and inserts it into the drawing at a user specified location.
Ideally, if there is a check in that if it finds more than one match, then perhaps it flags or prompts you to choose 1, 2, or 3 option which block to use. But I can live without this special function if it requires too much time to code.
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Match Multiple Attribute Values From One Block To Another Block
Feb 12, 2012I need to match few attribute values from one block to different block. I download a lisp file called; ca.lsp which can match the single attribute value. I modified it for more than one attribute value matching. It is ok but still wish to overcome two issues for batch prcess
1. picking up the blocks by selection
2. click the alternative block numbers of times to match the numbers of attribute values I needed.
How to modify this lisp I can run it by block name selections instead of picking selection which enable me to run batch process for numbers of drawing? That will be good...
Lisp & Demo file attached (Match attribute value, A, B & C to Attribute 1, 2 & 3).
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Insert Point At List Block And Dynamic Block
Apr 18, 2013I am learning autolips and i found a problem that i can´t solved.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Odd Insert Block
Sep 26, 2013I have a routine that counts dynamic blocks by visibility state and stores that information then prompts for scale and color and stores that information. Then a legend begins to build from the data and a collection of blocks to reflect the dynamic blocks and their visibility state. Everything works great on all of the machines around the office except on one. When the legend begins building, the one user is getting the DDATTE dialog instead of allowing the values to populate as expected. So, I had him change ATTREQ to 0 an run again. No deal, the same thing happens again and again. And; it only occurs on the one machine.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: How To Use Block With MLEADER
Sep 27, 2010We have a block contain 10 attibs to be seen with 8 differents scales making 80 attribs! (We use that before Annotative features). When we edit this block, we have a LISP that ask for the 10 avlues, and copy it for all the scale.
This lisp use the block ename in argument.
We start to use that block with MLEADER, but we can not edited with our lisp (can not find the ename of the block in the MLEADER definition ).
Is that a way to find this ename, and to be able to modify (our substitute) all the attributes value.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Edit Attributes Of A Block
Aug 6, 2013I have a block named "WD_MLRH". There are 3 specific attributes which I want to change in it. The attribute names are.
RUNGCNT, RUNGDIST and RUNGFIRST.
RUNGCNT will = 20
RUNGDIST will = 1.0 (or 1 will suffice)
RUNGFIRST will be decided by a user input.
Something along the lines of...
(setq RUNGFIRST (getint "Enter first rung number: "))
I'm sure this is completely wrong, but i hope that portray what I'm trying to accomplish.
