I discovered yesterday my burst lisp routine isn't working. It gives the following error message:
bad argument type: VLA-object collection: #<VLA-OBJECT 0971e1d4>
The routine does not appear to have changed. But here is the

I'm trying to check for the existence of a drive using lisp, then if not found perform a task (represented in my below example by the alert)
(if (vl-file-directory-p "C: en") T)(alert "exists"))
I know it doesn't work because if I change the T to nil as demonstrated bellow I should invoke the opposite reaction from autocad but instead I get the exact same outcome which is an alert telling me the file exists?
(if (vl-file-directory-p "C: en") nil)(alert "exists"))

I know to get the spacial filter on an xref to get the clip verticies, but not how to tell if its an invert xclip.
Even the arx guys seem to have difficulty with this. How to do it with lisp, com, or arx code?

I need a lisp code to convert all Lines, Polylines, Arcs and Splines to Polylines with 0.4 width.
I prepare this:
(defun c:CH2pl ( / SS);changes all lines, plines, arcs and splines to POLYLINE with 0.4 width(if (setq SS (ssget "_X" '((0 . "LINE"))))(command "_.pedit" "m" SS "" "Y" "w" 0.4 ""))(if (setq SS (ssget "_X" '((0 . "*POLYLINE"))))(command "_.pedit" "m" SS "" "w" 0.4 ""))(if (setq SS (ssget "_X" '((0 . "ARC"))))(command "_.pedit" "m" SS "" "Y" "w" 0.4 ""))(if (setq SS (ssget "_X" '((0 . "SPLINE"))))(command "_.pedit" "m" SS "" "Y" 10 "w" 0.4 "")))
But I want pure lisp code in a professional way!

Modify the attached lisp I found in this forum to work using a different hatch pattern, scale and angle. The new hatch should be in default Autocad "LINE" pattern and angle set to 90 degrees (vertical). If possible, I would like the angle and scale to be editable. Find attached Multi_Hatch-45 code posted by CADaStroumph in 2008.

This lsp was passed on to me from a colleague but he doesn't know where he got it. It does a useful procedure of placing each xref, residing in the drawing, to a unique layer. The layer name is derived from the xref name. I would like to edit this to take only part of the xref name. This system I work with requires all files to have the job number as a prefix eg LE1399901_Contours.dwg, so the xref name would be LE1299901_Contours by default. I want to remove the first 10 characters to be left with "X_Xref-Contours" layer name using this code.
(defun dxf (i a) (cdr (assoc i a)))
(defun c:lxr ( / ss cnt xrs en ed bn xp xbn )
(setq ss (ssget "x" '((0 . "INSERT"))))

I have this code to draw grid lines within a rectangle:
;Variable settings(defun var_set () (setq *var_lst* '("cmdecho" "osmode" "expert" "plinewid" "dynmode") *var_usr* (mapcar 'getvar *var_lst*)) (mapcar 'setvar *var_lst* '(0 0 2 0 0)) (vl-load-com))(defun var_reset ()(mapcar 'setvar *var_lst* *var_usr*)) (defun *error* (msg) (if (not (member msg '("console break" "Function cancelled" "quit / exit abort" "" nil)) ) (princ (strcat "
Error: " msg)) ) (and ;(vl-bt) (var_reset) ) (princ) ) (defun string-list (data) ;by lee-mac @theswamp (if (vl-string-search "@" [code].........
The above gets me the grid lines; but I have a block inserted at both ends of the grid line; how do I get the selection of those entities (selection set "frame") after each array?
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.

The code removes prefixes bind ($ 0 $), renaming layers, blocks, dimension styles, but some objects do not change the name as linetypes, text styles and duplicate names.If I have an existing name, I want to change the name with a (2) at the end.Example.
Layer: FloorLevel$0$Door90
If the layer "Door90" is existing, is renamed to "Door90 (2)"
(defun c:delprefixe(/ ActDoc Name NewName)(vl-load-com)(defun RemoveBindPrefix (String / Pos LastPos)(if (setq Pos (vl-string-search "$" String))(progn(setq LastPos Pos)(while (setq Pos (vl-string-search "$" String (1+ Pos)))(setq LastPos Pos))(substr String (+ 2 LastPos)))String));

I have lisp code, which count total length, but I need that it count and multiply by constant which I choose manual (such as in example, total lines yellow length * y + total blue lines * x = ... , example 50*2 + 60 * 3=280),
remember the another code, such as I have d200 with total l=1000 and d250 with total l=1500, i need to count total cost such as 1000*y+1500*x
one think, diameters numbers is not only 1 or 2, it can be many different diameters.

Is 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))

The attached image shows a table that I created as a AEC Object from my Civil 3D Alignment (i can turn it to 'MText' and then 'Text' in one or two steps). What I need is a routine, or anything, that fills the third column with an information based on the second column: the deflection angle, something like that:
Curve Angle Type of angle
C1 22°30'00'' 2
C2 39°21'28'' 3
C3 44°59'59'' 3
C4 45°00'00'' 4
C5 45°00'01'' 5
Is there something I could read to study to solve it myself and specify my own angles/types of angles?

Without opening the drawing...
How can I iterate through and check the object type of all objects in model space? And... then delete them if they are certain types... like lines, circles, polylines, text, mtext, etc?

I am looking for some code that would allow me to select a MTEXT Entity - or other entity - (as the DEFAULT option) but also to allow me to type in some text manually or to pick a point in the drawing. Something that would present the user with:
"Select an object or [P to pick a point]" or
"Select MTEXT or [M to type].
I can write some code to type in text manually as the default option and get the second option to select entity using get string and then write some condition of if code but I don't know how to do it having entsel as default option.

We have a lisp routine that I co-authored ages ago and then haven't done much programming in about 7 years. I seem to have forgotten much of my language skills. This portion of the lisp routine was running fine in autocad 2005 which is what the computer had on it, and it doesn't run on autocad 2010.
I've narrowed it down to the while statement which is why you see it commented out, but that portion is necessary. My main question is was there a change in the language specifically the while statement between 2005 and 2010?
; GET LINES OVER 10" AND THROW OUT (if (= (cdr(assoc 0 outerinfo)) "LWPOLYLINE") (progn (setq remlenouter 0.0) (setq numseg (cdr(assoc 90 outerinfo))) (setq edd (member(assoc 10 outerinfo) outerinfo)) (setq n1 0) ;(while (< n1 (- (* numseg 4) 4)) ;(setq dist (distance (cdr(nth n1 edd)) (cdr(nth (+ n1 4) edd)))) ;(if (>= dist edmmax) (setq remlenouter (+ remlenouter dist))) ;(setq n1 (+ n1 4)) ;) ; end while (setq dist (distance (cdr(nth n1 edd)) (cdr(nth 0 edd)))) (if (>= dist edmmax) (setq remlenouter (+ remlenouter dist))) ) ; end progn ) ; END IF

So i have almost 30 installs and my custom programs are working in all but this new install. Now when i pick on the tool palette that runs the program, i get a message shown in the attached png, then when i pick "OK" i get "Unable to load dialog box."
I've searched these hallowed halls but all the messages seem to point to 2002 versions of ACAD Map and i'm running plain AutoACAD (that came with Product Design Suite, aka Inventor.)

I recently upgraded to a new PC.
We get a lot of files from customers where there are multiple drawing borders all in model space.
Sometimes as many as 150-200 borders in one file that we need to print for the shop floor.
Years ago, I wrote a LISP routine that prompts for printer settings (Fit or To scale, etc.) and then prompts for
2 corners of each border and then writes a script file and launches it to batch plot each drawing.
My thinking was that I had to manually pick each drawing anyway, this LISP routine saved me from having to issue the plot command over and over.
Anyway, since my PC upgrade, the LISP routine fails.
There is a line of code that answers the plot prompt for output device name where I have the same printer as always.
When the script runs up to that line, AutoCAD tells me that printer is "not found".
So then it keeps reading the rest of the script lines which answer other plot prompts and repeatedly says "device not found".
If I manually print, I can choose the same print settings in the dialog box that the script file has and it can "find" that same device.
Why I can print manually but the LISP/script file gives me a "not found" error.
BTW, when I upgraded my PC, I also upgraded AutoCAD from 2012 to 2013..

I know how to retrieve the entity information from the block, but can't figure out how to write the loop statement to loop, look for first attribute, assign to a variable, goto next attribute, assign to different variable, etc., etc...
In my research, most programs I've seen it execute the loop, assign to a variable, then print/put that data somewhere, loop again and utilize the same variable to print/put the next data somewhere.
I would like each attribute within a block to be assigned a separate variable.

The good news is that, if I were righting a routine that locks up AutoCAD, I'm finished. The bad news is that I'm not.
The code below is the portion of a routine where I have the user select 2 points and then pass those points to the Zoom command and the M2P osnap. The problem is that, when the Mid Between 2 Points osnap tries to use the first point, it returnns an "Invalid point" message, enters a loop and locks ACAD.
(defun C:ZC ()
(setq PointOne (getpoint "First point of M2P "))
(setq PointTwo (getpoint "Second point of M2P "))

Should SETENV/GETENV be writing/reading to and from the System Registry?
After installing ACAD 2013 as a trail this now seems to be the behaviour, only found it when GETENV calls started to fail. This has also affected previous versions installed on the same workstations.

In my acaddoc.lsp I have it load an autoload.lsp file that contains many lisp routines (attached). I am getting the "extra right paren on input" error. It appears to error after the third line in the autoload file "san18"....I removed everything after the third line and no error, I put them back and it errors and only loads first three?
I am using Civil 3D 2014 and I have added all neccesary paths to the trusted locations.
