AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Entmake Mtext Start And Stop Underline And Styles
Jun 4, 2013
I am trying to create an mtext entity using entmake with different text height, text style and underlining. I have a subroutine that works fine. However - I would like to use different text height, text style and underline for the Title Text vs the following lines.
Here is the subroutine I already have -
(defun Create_MText (MT_PMS MT_Layout MT_Layer MT_Style MT_Justify MT_Point MT_Rotate MT_Size MT_Width MT_Title MT_Body / )
(setq FSC_MText
(list
(cons 0 "MTEXT")

I am creating a line using entmake, but I need the start and end point to be variable that was already defined ex.
(entmake '((0 . "LINE")(8 . "FIELD") (10 . line_insert) (11 line_end)))
Command: !line_insert
(29.2813 20.5 0.0)
Command: !line_end
(29.2813 18.5 0.0)
The error I get is
; error: bad DXF group: (10 LINE_INSERT)
What do I do to make it recognize this variable?

I have run into a little trouble in trying to figure out how to create a arc polyline with entmake. I've put together the following and it works great with command "pline". I just want to know how to do it with entmake.
(defun C:22 ()
(setq P1 (getpoint "
Specify first point: ")
P2 (getpoint P1 "
Specify next point: "))
[code].......

I want to entmake a block with a multiline attribute. Entmaking the block definition works fine, but what do I code for the Multiline Attribute? Should it be coded (0 . "MTEXT") instead of (0 . "ATTRIB")? I know (101 . "Embedded Object") does not work. What other codes need to be included?

I am trying to entmake a hatch entity from a hatch template.
After entget the template hatch entity, i get the followings
Select object: ((-1 . <Entity name: 7ed11b78>) (0 . "HATCH") (330 . <Entity
name: 7efc7c10>) (5 . "737") (100 . "AcDbEntity") (67 . 0) (410 . "Model") (8 .
"SECTION-LABEL") (62 . 255) (100 . "AcDbHatch") (10 0.0 0.0 0.0) (210 0.0 0.0
1.0) (2 . "SOLID") (70 . 1) (71 . 0) (91 . 1) (92 . 1) (93 . 8) (72 . 1) (10
633596.0 5.79713e+006 0.0) (11 633519.0 5.79713e+006 0.0) (72 . 1) (10 633519.0
5.79713e+006 0.0) (11 633519.0 5.79708e+006 0.0) (72 . 1) (10 633519.0
5.79708e+006 0.0) (11 633500.0 5.79708e+006 0.0) (72 . 1) (10 633500.0
[code]....
Now I wrote the following code using the above data as follows
(entmake (list (cons 0 "HATCH") (cons 67 0) (cons 410 "Model") (cons 8 "SECTION-LABEL") (cons 62 255) (cons 10 (list 0.0 0.0 0.0)) (cons 210 (list 0.0 0.0 1.0)) (cons 2 "SOLID") (cons 70 1) (cons 71 0) (cons 91 1) (cons 92 1) (cons 93 8) (cons 72 1) (cons 10 pt1) (cons 11 pt2) (cons 72 1) (cons 10 pt2) (cons 11 pt3) (cons 72 1) (cons 10 pt3) (cons 11 pt4) (cons 72 1) (cons 10 pt4) (cons 11 pt5) (cons 72 1) (cons 10 pt5) (cons 11 pt6) (cons 72 1) (cons 10 pt6) (cons 11 pt7) (cons 72 1) (cons 10 pt7) (cons 11 pt8) (cons 72 1) (cons 10 pt8) (cons 11 pt1) (cons 97 0) (cons 75 0) (cons 76 1) (cons 98 1) (cons 10 (list 0.0 0.0 0.0)) (cons 450 0) (cons 451 0) (cons 460 0.0) (cons 461 0.0) (cons 452 1) (cons 462 1.0) (cons 453 2) (cons 463 0.0) (cons 63 5) (cons 421 255) (cons 463 1.0) (cons 63 7) (cons 470 "LINEAR")))
The point variables pt1, pt2....pt8 are all defined. But when I run the code the hatch is not being created? Why?

I have mtext in several drawings that contains an error that'd I'd like to fix using Lisp. An example of what this text should look like is:
NOTE:
SEE DRAWING XXXX FOR DRIVE DETAILS
The fist problem is that all of the text after the note has a width factor of 0.1 and is all squished together. The second problem is that the text height of the title (the "NOTE:" part) is supposed to be larger than the actual note (the "SEE DRAWING XXXX FOR DRIVE DETAILS" PART). Is there a way to fix this using lisp? I had a lisp in progress (not done) which is:
(IF
(SETQ SSET (SSGET "X" '((0 . "MTEXT"))))
(PROGN
(SETQ COUNT -1)
(WHILE (< (SETQ COUNT (1+ COUNT)) (SSLENGTH SS))
(SETQ ENTDATA (ENTGET (SSNAME SSET COUNT)))
(SETQ ENTTEXT (CDR (ASSOC 1 ENTDATA)))
(ENTMOD (SUBST (CONS 1 (STRCAT "{\W1;" ENTTEXT "}")) (ASSOC 1 ENTDATA) ENTDATA))
The last line has no effect on the width factor of the note.
This is the entdata for this particular piece of mtext (they aren't all the same):
((-1 . <Entity name: 7ffff79ce50>) (0 . "MTEXT") (330 . <Entity name:
7ffffb069f0>) (5 . "392FD") (100 . "AcDbEntity") (67 . 0) (410 . "Model") (8 .
"5") (100 . "AcDbMText") (10 676.276 751.03 0.0) (40 . 3.008) (41 . 0.0) (46 .

I have a routine, developed for me through this forum, that selects text or mtext, converts to mtext if not already, and puts a background mask with 1.1 border. I was using it fine in Map 3D 2007, but have recently switched to Civil 3D 2012 where it does not work. I get this error message:
; error: no function definition: VLAX-ENAME->VLA-OBJECT
Why does this not work in 2012? How to get it to work?

I would like to write a routine to resize the MText limits box to the minimum size required to cover the text, for background masking purposes. From the DXF codes, I see that I can simply set code 41 to match code 42 in order to set the width. However, I cannot seem to figure out how the vertical dimension is defined. (entget) shows no change in the DXF codes after I resize the mtext box.
I do know how to figure out the height that I need, using (acet-geom-textbox), but I can't seem to figure out how to apply this height the MText entity.

I got this nice little lisp from [URL] .....
(defun c:mt2ml ( / oobj nobj nstrg) (vl-load-com) (setq oobj (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (nentsel "
Select source text: ")))) (if (= (vlax-get-property oobj 'ObjectName) "AcDbMText") (setq nstrg (vlax-get-property oobj 'TextString)) (exit) ) (command "_MLEADER") (while (= 1 (logand (getvar "CMDACTIVE") 1)) (command PAUSE)) (setq nobj (vlax-ename->vla-object (entlast))) (if (= (vlax-get-property nobj 'ObjectName) "AcDbMLeader") (vlax-put-property nobj 'TextString nstrg) (exit) ) (entdel (vlax-vla-object->ename oobj)) (princ))
It converts MText to a Multileader.
My goals would be as follows:
The multileader should end up on the same layer as the Mtext. (Currently it uses the current layer.)The multileader should hold the same rotation as the Mtext. (Currently it goes to zero.)The multileader should be created in the same location as the Mtext, without the user having to click. (Currently the multileader is created wherever the user clicks.)The multileader should be created without a leader. We can add one afterwards if needed, but for many we don't need a leader. (We're just using the object as mtext with a box around it.)

I'm finding Mleaders with Mtext don't seem to play well with command calls. All works fine until one tries to enter the mleader text. Before testing this, be sure your mleader style is set to use mtext. I recommend starting the leader with the arrow first.
Compare this mleader's text entry behavior in this basic lisp command call:(command "_.acad_dim.mleader") with the following routine that relies on an open ended command prompt (useful if you want to add more commands after calling the mleader command):
(defun c:mlx (/ cc_echo)
(prompt "
Example showing mleader mtext misbehaving")
(setq cc_echo (getvar "cmdecho"))
(setvar "cmdecho" 1)
(command "_.acad_dim.mleader")
[code]...
With qleaders, the leader and text are separate entities.

I'm having issues with updating an MTEXT attributes value using lisp.
If I insert my block (this is a titleblock) and run my lisp routine the MTEXT attribute updates fine. Once I edit the MTEXT attribute with the MTEXT editor, and then run my lisp routine again, the MTEXT attribute will not update anymore. All the single line (DTEXT) attributes update fine. The lisp routine I created has worked for years...this is the first time I've tried it with an MTEXT attribute.

Lisp routine that will rotate Mtext to the same angle as the angle of a selected line and the allow you to place the mtext object where you wish.
I know there is an lisp out there called RTL that will allow you to do this with regular or Dtext, but I will not work with Mtext.

I am wanting to use autolisp to access the text in a MTEXT entity. assoc(1) gives me the first bit of text, but not the rest.Is there a way to use assoc to access each of a number of matches or do I need to write my own routine to find all the 1's?

Would like to be able to select mtext explode it get x y coords of last line of text then turn it back to mtext and then launch mtext at a @0,-0.5 justification TL width 5 and display the ribbon.
All seems to work except the (command ...)
Below is my attempt.
(prompt "Select Note")
(setq ss (ssget))
(command "explode" ss)
(setq ss (ssget "l")) ;get last line of text
(setq ent (entget (ssname ss 0))
ent1 (cdr (assoc 10 ent))) ;get x y coords
(command "undo" "1") ;set exploded mtext back to mtext
(setvar "lastpoint" ent1)

I am having a problem with starts and ends of lines. I have draw two lines, end of first is start of second. The problem is because, (cdr (assoc 11 (entget line1))) and (cdr (assoc 10 (entget line2))), somehow, are not the same,
(= (cdr (assoc 11 (entget line1))) (cdr (assoc 10 (entget line2))))
is returning nil, what is so confusing to me is that:
(=(nth 0(cdr (assoc 11 (entget line1)))) (nth 0(cdr (assoc 10 (entget line2)))))
is returning true, the same is for y and z coordinates.
I need to check x y and z coordinates, for this type of problem...

ACAD 2009 on XP
Third party software installed which now causes AutoCAD 2009 to crash when a single key is pressed. We have uninstalled the software, however the editor is still looking for the
Non-existent ARX. This is the problem. What file or registry key declares the list as shown in APPLOAD? I have verified 2009 works in the administrator profile.
We also did a repair and then a reinstall of 2009 to no avail. What steps are needed for AutoCAD to build a profile when a previous profile existed?
