AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Executing Command If Find File Returns NIL
Dec 17, 2012Im having a little trouble of late understanding how to undertake an action/ command if nil
what i do know id the following:
(setq TESTvar(findfile "acad.lsp"))(alert TESTvar)
this gives me the path of the acad.lsp, that is provided it actually exists, however because the acad.lsp is not compulsory it may indeed not exist meaning that the command prompt would return the NIL value instead of the pathname.
based upon that I would like to create a new acad.lsp file if not found by autocad.
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Annotation Command Set Correct Layer For Duration Of Command
Nov 21, 2010I am currently writing a series of routines for setting the layers for text, leaders and dimension commands. The end goal is a system where any annotation command sets the correct layer for the duration of the command, then reverts back to the layer that was active before the command.
I have managed to complete all the code, and it appears to be working fine, I just have one question: I have used -layer "m" "Lay_name" etc... for all layer setting commands, rather than any code to see if the layer exists already. In my limited testing this seems to be suitable, nothing that exists on that layer seems to be affected.
I know how to write code to determine if the layer exists already and set the layer instead, but so far it seems unnecessary??

Jun 18, 2013This 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.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Error In While Command
May 22, 2013We 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?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Looping A Command
Aug 26, 2013I am using AutoCAD 2011. I have a lisp that I have created/modified.
What it does:
Allows me to Select a layer that I call out and change its color properties back to bylayer.
(i primarily use this when i am cleaning up my drawings, I turn them all to gray with another command i have then i run this one to find all the entities on that specified layer)
What i am trying to do:
I would like this command to do a loop. So say i type in a layer name that does not exist, instead of running through the rest of the command i want it to revert back to "specify layer name" until the correct name is entered for that layer.
Here is the lisp:
(defun cLL ()
(setq varLayer (getstring t "
Specify Layer Name: "))
(sssetfirst nil (ssget "X" (list (cons 8 varLayer))))
(command "change" "p" "" "p" "c" "bylayer" "")

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Check For Last Command
Jan 8, 2014We have developed processes, standard operating procedures, work instructions (whatever you want to call it) for several tasks we do on a regular basis. More importantly, tasks that we don't do on a regular basis. On some processes, performing certain commands is a critical step in the quality of the product. I have also developed a lot of lisps to streamline these processes. Of course there are commands that just don't make sense to try and include into existing lisps.
The problem we're having though, is that people are not following the processes. I don't know if they think they are smarter than the process, or if they don't understand the process, or if they are just complacent.
One of the things that would really work to get everyone to follow the process, is to have my lisp routines check to see what the last entry at the command line was.
For example, if one of my lisps depended on the drawing be saved, well, instead of putting the save command in the lisp, sometimes it would be beneficial to check to see if the drawing was saved in the first place. Kudos to those who do follow the process, they do save the drawing, and then run the lisp. On rather large files, I would prefer not to save the drawing twice, back to back.
There are a lot more benefits to checking to see what the last user entry was, in a certain drawing.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Find Object Associated To A Field
Nov 1, 2011We use multi-leader objects in our drawings. When the multi-leader and its value are to be replicated throughout the drawing, we create mleaders with fields that show the contents of the first mleader. That way we can update only the value in the first mleader and all of its children will update as well. It works nicely for us.
Here comes one snag. If one of us opens a drawing with which we are not intimately familiar, we don't know which mleader is the parent of which children. There might be fifty parents and four hundred children in a drawing so going through them by hand is a big productivity drain.
What I need to do is write a routine that will let the user select the mleader that includes the field and have the routine highlight and/or zoom to the parent object.
I thought I should be able to find that info in the dxf codes for the mleader, but I am either missing it or it's not there.
