AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Checking For Existence Of Drive Using Code Not Working?

May 2, 2013

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"))

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Renaming Xref Using Code

Jun 18, 2013

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"))))
(setq cnt 0)

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Code To Draw Grid Lines

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.

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.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Determine Type Of Object That User Selected?

Mar 1, 2012

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))

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Polyline Deflection TYPE Angle Table

Jul 19, 2013

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?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Select Entity With Options To Type In Text / Pick Point

Nov 6, 2013

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.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Error In While Command

May 22, 2013

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

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Batch Plotting Isn't Working

Jun 15, 2012

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..

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Working With Multiple Attributes Within Block?

Aug 8, 2012

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.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Passing A Point To Zoom Not Working?
