Lisp file that create a layout for each layer,I’m looking for a lisp file that creates layout for each layer instead of doing this manually.

Trying to get the files I use which are single-layout tab files to name the layout tab to match the file name, minus the .DWG extension.
Here is what I am trying to use, but it doesn't seem to be working.
(DEFUN C:RRT (/ name)
(setq name (getvar (vl-filename-base (getvar "dwgname"))))
(command "-layout" "rename" name "")
(princ)

How i can filter attributes string value.
How i set the layer name is = attributes string value.
Example:
A attributes string value is R8 .all these string is set the layer name is same string value(R8).
who can share with me a lisp which can create layer by xrefs and blocks ( if this can be an optional , would be nice ) ?
even maybe lisp can create layer group filter with "XREF" group name and move layers to inside.
Looking for example of a lisp file that take the value of a variable and create a txt file on a specific place defining by the user, with 10 lines in each one of them begins with what is in the variable, followed by a text already done.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to create a layer from selecting only some words from an mtext or text entitty.
Is it possible to highlight and select only part of the text from an mtext using a lisp routine ? similar to how Adobe Reader can select text.
I often work on drawings which have multiple xrefs, each having up to 100 Layers or more, so the layer manager can be a bit difficult to trawl through to find a local layer to select.
I know how to create a local layer filter using the code ~*|* from the new filter area in layer manager.
Ideally all I want to have to type in is: LOCAL and then the local layer filter would be created, with the filter name being Local-Layers (or similar).
I'd like to add Layer descriptions , but I cannot seem to get out of the "D"escription option when the script runs so I get the some crazy descriptions. Is there a special key stroke to get to the next line to "M"ake a layer?

I would like to create a command that will copy a file from one place to another.
I can do it directly from the commandline like this
But when I try and put it in a command macro in the CUI editor like this
^C^C_shell;copy "c:/temp/drawing1.dwg" "g:/temp";
it does not seem to work. It comes up with this on the commandline
but no copy of the file is made.
How can I get this to work without having to write an external file, such as a script or lisp?
How to Lock Layout Tab.

View 5 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to grab the Object ID or name from a layout tab to use in a field? I wish to link the layout name to a callout block so that if the layout tab changes position and name (inserting a new tab), the call out block will update no matter what page it is on. Without using the Sheet Set manager.

I want to know the correct way to find the offset origin of a layout in an AutoCAD drawing. Let say I have a drawing that has many items on it. And I create a layout showing just the items in the lower right corner of the drawing. I want to know the offset origin of this layout relative to the Model space.
I came across some LISP commands that are supposed to do just that:
(vl-load-com)(setq activelayout (vlax-get (vla-Get-ActiveDocument (vlax-Get-Acad-Object)) 'ActiveLayout ))(setq activeplotorig (vlax-get activelayout 'PlotOrigin))
Unfortunately, the commands don't seem to work because it always returns (0.0 0.0). That cannot be right.
Is it even possible to get the entity name of the last block added to a layout? I need to find the entity name of the last block added to each of three layouts.
Previously I was using entlast but obviously that will not descriminate per layout.
I need to get the layout list in reverse order. How to do this? My plotter outputs prints face up and I wind up with a stack of drawings in reverse order - If I can cycle through the tabs in reverse order they will wind up in the correct order in the print room!
View 9 Replies View RelatedI need a command that will allow the user to select a layout tab. I thought the following would work, but it just ends the LISP program:
(command "layout" "s" pause)
I need to select all the viewports in the drawing and to make some changes with them, I'm planning to select them all with ssget command. If I do that I will have one viewport for the paperspace itself in every layout. One of my question is, how to know which viewport is the paperspace itself?
Second question is, how to get the name of layout in which one is the viewport? It is important to me that the lisp is really fast, so I'm planning to do the most of stuffs with vla commands.
I’m trying to create a view port, which covers my entire layout (white/ page area) using the following command
(command “mview” ‘(0 0 0) ‘(297.5 210 0))
However as you will note 0,0,0 is not the very edge corner of my layout (white area) and my white area is smaller then 297.5x 210mm (standard A4 landscape size)
How to obtain the exact measurements and starting coordinates to fully fill my entire layout page (white area)?
okay, I need a way to get a list of layout tabs without vl-, vla-, vlax, or LAYOUTLIST functions. Why? You ask?
This is for lisp funct that will run in AcCoreConsose. Apparently the console doesn't yet support these.
Also, need a way to check Effective name of dynamic blocks without vl-, vla- or vlax- funs also.
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.
I'm trying to display the papersize of a layout in a block. So far I've looked into diesel and field expressions.
With field expressions I can get the name of the papersize to display that's too long(OVERSIZE: ISO A1), I need only the last two letters.
I need a routine that will duplicate the current sheet's Layout tab and content to the next tab, set it current, delete the titleblock (by name) on the new tab and reference in a differently named titleblock, 1:1, 0,0 onto the new Layout tab. I'll be running this in a batch script.
View 9 Replies View RelatedAny LISP routine that can create multiple paper space layout tabs and can name them incrementally. I have a template and I wanted to copy tab2 of my layout multiple times and name them incrementally. I have a code shown below that comes close to what I need it to do but it creates a "New Layout" instead of copying the tab I need it to. Please see code below:
(vl-load-com)(defun c:LAYOUT+ (/ *error* prefix i n acDoc oLayouts layoutName) (defun *error* (msg) (if acDoc (vla-endundomark acDoc) ) (cond ((not msg)) ; Normal exit ((member msg '("Function cancelled" "quit / exit abort"))) ; <esc> or (quit) ((princ (strcat "

(layoutlist) ... returns a list of strings of the layout tabs in the drawing.I've used this ages... Isn't it a core lisp function, or is it coming from express tools or somewhere else?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a drawing with various layouts that when I do a Zoom Extents the drawings is reduced to the size of a point.
I have done all the usual, ie: look for extra entities that are "out in space" so to speak and there are none.
I wonder if I have a block or image which may have an insertion point "out in space" and if this may be the issue.
Is there some way to Select all entities or Blocks (insertion point) that may exist outside a particular area ie: drawing limits.
lisp..It work fine but just that i need some minor modificatio to it...At moment, when i activate the lisp, it will automatic select all dimension,leader and multileader to a layer call "DIMENSION"...Anyway i wonder if it is possible to prevent any dimension,leader or multileader in layer "Section" will not be change to layer "Dimension"?
