I need to draw an ellipse at a specific point on a drawing.
i can calc the major and minor and i have a polar point of where it should be drawn.
i just need the code to draw the ellipse.
I continue learning....
(setq ins (vlax-ename->vla-object ( ssname sele cod)) nombre (vla-get-name ins) ) (setq bloque1 (vla-item (vla-get-Blocks (vla-get-Document ins) ) nombre ) ) (setq s_ent1 (vla-item bloque1 1)) (setq pt1 (vla-get-startpoint s_ent1 ))(setq pt2 (vla-get-endpoint s_ent11 ))(setq s_ent2 (vla-item bloque1 2)) (setq pt3 (vla-get-startpoint s_ent2 ))(setq pt4 (vla-get-endpoint s_ent2 ))(command "_pline" pt1 pt2 pt3 pt4 "c")
Why dont draw de _pline?
why do not draw the line between ptm1 and pt3?
(defun c:PUNTOM (/ pt1 pt2 pt3) (setq pt1 (getpoint "
Initial point : ")) (setq pt2 (getpoint "
Final point : ")) (setq pt3 (getpoint "
Offset : "))(setq ptm1 (mid (pt1 pt2))) (command "_line" pt1 pt2 "")(command "_line" ptm1 pt3) (princ));;;;;;;(defun mid (p1 p2) (list (/ (+ (car p1) (car p2)) 2.0) (/ (+ (cadr p1) (cadr p2)) 2.0) ));;;;;;;;
I have some code that starts a new drawing with a specific template from a lisp routine
(defun ghd:load_newdwg (template / ae-acad-object newdwg)
(setq ae-acad-object (vlax-get-acad-object))
(setq newdwg (vla-add (vla-get-documents ae-acad-object) template))
(vla-put-activedocument ae-acad-object newdwg)
)
The template location and file is stored in variable clienttemplate (and is not the standard template path set under options). All works okay except if I close the new drawing, when I return to the previous drawing that was current when the new drawing was created (i.e. the drawing that the routine was run from). I get the following error:
Command: ; error: Exception occurred: 0xC0000005 (Access Violation)
; error: Unknown exception occurred
; warning: unwind skipped on unknown exception
I assume this has something to do with the original routine not closing/finishing before switching to the new drawing. This is the last line of the routine:
(cond ((= startnewdwg 1) (ghd:load_newdwg clienttemplate)))
I've had a simple lisp I've been using for years that suddenly disappeared. It required that you identify a block name, tag name, and the value that you want the tag to be. All of this is performed via command line, so it is scriptable. Since I lost it, I've been experimenting with -attedit. This command comes frustratingly close to what I'm looking for, except it only appends an existing tag, or replaces a specific string within the tag; I can't get it to replace the entire tag, regardless of its value.
1> Any lisp routine that does what I describe?
or
2> How to make -attedit replace a tag value without regard to what the value currently is (like a * wildcard)?
I'm trying to get a lisp routine to flatten out ellipses, I have changing the z-coordinate to equal world ucs z ok , but can't seem to get it to re-align the normal axis zo it matches the world ucs axis.The code works fine for a circle and sould not be any different for an ellipse, yet it falls over at the (vla-put-normal) statement for the ellipse.Any clues, or is it a failure in implementation for ActiveX?
(defun FL_normal (mspace index / changeobj currNormal newNormal)
(setq changeobj (vla-item mspace index))
(setq newNormal (vlax-3d-point 0 0 1))
(setq currNormal (vlax-variant-value (vla-get-Normal changeObj)))

Our customer send us drawing with ellipse segments into.
With Autocad 2008 I bought a plug-in call SplineConvert that did the job perfectly but not compatible with 2013.
Is there any plugin that could replace that tool ?
Is there any standard ACAD command that could easily do this Job ?
I need a way to make 2 or 3 times per week this converting on all ellipses of large and detail 2D drawings so no time to offset in and out all those .
I try also DXFOUT in R12 but all the spline are being converted into 3d polyline making a huge files that froze my PC.
I also try FLATTEN but did not see how it work , the ellipse stay an ellipse.
I need to delete a specific block from current opened drawing by LISP command.
for example removing XREF attached is very easy:
(COMMAND "-XREF" "D" "FRAME")
I can remove "FRAME" XREF from drawing. Now, I want to delete a/all block with "TB12" name with same action!
(command "BlockDelete" "TB12")
so, how can I delete a/all block with specific name in current drawing?
How would one modify
(= (cdr (assoc 0 data)) "ATTRIB")
in order to filter for a certain attribute tag named MYTAG
I am working with a custom LISP routine which reports out to a CSV file, an attribute extraction file - but I need my routine to ONLY evaluate blocks which have the MYTAG attribute tag. Then, if it passes that first check, it evaluates another list of Tags within those blocks - a list of tags which I have specified elsewhere in the code.
I am trying to modify my existing code as little as possible, and I think that if I do it at the line (which I've pasted above) - that will "pre-qualify" my selection set....
ATTACHED LISP IS THE FILE I AM WORKING WITH --- THE ACTUAL LINE I WANT TO MODIFY IS AT:
"(while (eq ENSUB "ATTRIB")"
I need a lisp which is i can draw a line or pline with circle in every 30 meters ( circle diameter and total line or pline length will be optional )

It is working only if I have the points in the DWG. If there are no points, I receive "Unknow command DPL". Is there anything I can do in order to avoid this error?
How do I select the layer in which I want to draw?
for example i draw two line and Each of them has to be in different layer.

is there a way to draw a polyline and have autocad clip everything outside of that polyline and discard it so that i end up with a smaller drawing. only the information in that polyline, nothing outside of the polyline
View 3 Replies View Relatedhow to draw a text entity in 3d, where I know the 3d ins point, and the plane it should be flat to.
I have not drawn text or inserted blocks programatically before where the plane they lie on is not flat.
I have done it before by setting a ucs and drawing stuff, but now I want no switches of UCS involved.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have made a lisp routine to draw lines on polyline. And here are a lot of lines on it. So using comand
"(command "line" pt1 pt2 " ")"
takes a lot of time. Is here a way to creat lines in memory or similar and only then draw them all on screen?
I have search but coudin't find any info. I do not know how to formulate a query.
I've written my first little Lisp function.What it's for is drawing a simple borehole profile that can then be used to draw stylized cross sections on top of it.
Upon start the lisp, pick a point on screen (to get the X coordinate [x1 below]), then enter ground level at the command line [g1 below], then enter as many thicknesses as are present in the borehole log (will vary, but typically between 3-12). These I added to a list, because that seemed to make sense when I did it.
What I want it to do then is draw a pline from x1, g1 down to the next point (x1,g1 minus the 1st thickness), then the next (x1,g1 minus the 2nd thickness) etc., to the bottom of the borehole.
Then my CAD guys can sit there, and using the borehole logs, enter the values of the boreholes and it draws them on the screen, making it easy to join th dots.
It might be good if it placed a Acad point at each point as well, but I'm not overly bothered about that at the minute.
Here's my attempt so far.
(prompt "Type 'e1' to run...")
(defun c:e1 ( / )
(command "graphscr") (setq x1 (getpoint "
Pick insertion point:")) (setq x1a (car x1))
(initget (+ 1 2 4)) (setq g1 (getreal "
Enter ground elevation: "))
(initget (+ 1 2 2)) (setq lvllist nil ) (while (setq lvl (getreal "
Enter layer thickness <Exit>: ")) (setq lvlList (append lvllist (list lvl))) )

I would like to be able to draw squares by the area they should have. So that if I need a square of 50m2 autocad automatically draws a square of sqrt(50) x sqrt(50)
Because right now I have to draw 200 squares with 100 different areas and I have to calculate and manually draw each one of them.
i need a vlisp program to draw polyline between two blocks.

The problem is when I try to draw a bounding box around an object while in another UCS. It seems that it always draws the bounding box at the WCS instead of my UCS. I have used (trans <pointlist> 0 1) on all combinations it seems and I still cannot get it to draw the bounding box at the current UCS.

I would like to insert a block in a specific layout (eg. "LAYOUT13") using the function vla-insertblock
I have already searched the web and this newsgroup but have not found the solution.
how to quick select all the blocks from a specific layer (for instance XPTO) and export them along with their attributes, exactly as we do by quick selecting them and then, through AutoCAD Express -> Attribute Export Info, but in a script...
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'd like to run one command that allows the user to draw a polygon viewport then sets that VP to 1/8"=1'-0".
It can be nearly accomplished with a macro, but falls just short because the polygon vp requires an unknown number of clicks, so there is no way to know how many pauses for user input in the macro.
Is there a LISP code for disabling OSNAP for specific objects or layers? An automatic disable for multileaders would be useful when fine tuning the text placement. Trouble is you need the snap for the leader end. Maybe you could disable the snap for the text grip only.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI currently have a LISP routine that will replace the value of a specific attribute name with sequential numbers in the order that the blocks are selected. Like TCOUNT for attributes - and it only looks for a specific attribute Tag Name called "ID".
However, what I want it to do now, instead of just putting the number into the attribute value, I want the number to be a suffix to the existing default tag value of the tag named "ID" which is "ADDRESS:" for some blocks and "ELEVATION:" for other blocks but the tag name that the routine always has to filter for is "ID". That way the user can pick anywhere on the block - not being forced to pick the tag we want to add numbers to.
What I need the new LISP to do is append a space and then a number to the existing tag value in the block, so that the result would look like "ADDRESS: 1", "ADDRESS: 2", "ADDRESS 3" or "ELEVATION: 1", ELEVATION: 2", etc. depending on whatever the default value for the tag "ID" is.
there are several hundred different block names - but they all have a Tag Name of "ID" - whose default value is sometimes "ADDRESS:" and sometimes "ELEVATION:".
If you do a LIST command on a dynamic block... AutoCAD tells you the Block Name as well as the Anonymous Block name.
How can I use ssget to snag all Dynamic Blocks that use the 'Real Block'?
I'm looking for a way to find out what all plot styles are set in drawings in a sheet set.
We are transitioning from color based pen settings to style based and would like to be able to export a log that shows the variable PSTYLEMODE for each drawing in a sheet set. I plan on using ScriptPro to run it on the full sheet set.

or I would need to map a point list and draw each grid individually how do I go about that?
Attached is the sample of the output I'd like to achieve using LISP.
