Sep 9, 2011 I thought this would be a simple tblsearch process, but as far as I can tell, there isn't a tblsearch symbol table for vplayer settings, so I need to get more creative I guess.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Determine Type Of Object That User Selected?
Mar 1, 2012Is 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 :: Larger Routine To Create And Rotate Text Based On Object Selected
Dec 29, 2011the expression in question is part of larger lisp routine to create and rotate text based on the object selected and the viewtwist variable (we use dview twist to rotate our views when needed)
So the expression in question:
(< (/ pi 2) ang (* pi 1.5)
where ang is the total angle used to determine proper rotation of the text.
Now the problem. In most cases where ang = 90 (or 1.5708 radians) this works fine. the two exceptions i have encountered
in testing are a line at 70 degress, viewtwist 20, and line at 50, viewtwist 40. For whatever reason at these two conditions the expressoin evaulates True instead of nil and rotates the entire text object incorrectly (180 degrees). So question is how exactly is this being evaluated? i know its comparing ang (* pi 1.5) to (/ pi 2). is there some sort of rounding error? or maybe the expression needs a wee bit more definition? attached image and full lisp routine for reference of what is happening, blue text is angle of the line as created by routine at viewtwist 0.
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: No Function Definition With Distance Function
Oct 25, 2013This seems absolutly silly.
(setq p1 (getpoint))
(setq p2 (getpoint))
(setq Dist (distance p1 p2))
Why does this not work?
I'm trying to build a command to replace AutoCAD's "DI" command, to give distance and delta x, y, and z values in decimal and imperial, and keep the angles in XY plane and out of XY plane.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Expire Date For A Function
Nov 27, 2012I want to define en expiration date in registry, after that date the some LISP programs does not allow to run. I think that suitable commands are SetEnv and GetEnv.
define a ExpDt variable that contains Expiry Date as a string. And add some statements inside of the LISP program to call this variable and check it with today's date.
I should define once time in autocad:
(setenv "expdt" "130101"); YYMMDD date for validation period (2013.01.01)
and check this every time that a lisp program should be execeute:
(getenv "expdt") ; if today's date(with YYMMDD format) ">" expdt then lisp program doen not allow to run and should be halted.
for e.g. on 2013.02.28: "130228" > "130101" ==> so the lisp function should be halted and will not work!
(without any alert or message)
a sample list function: (how can implement on this lisp function?)
(defun c:3()
(setq w t)
(while w
(setq a (getpoint "
pick point:"))
(setq p1 (list (- (car a) 0.5)(- (cadr a) 0.5)))
(setq p2 (list (+(car a) 0.5)(+(cadr a) 0.5)))
(command "erase" "w" p1 p2 "")
(command "INSERT" "*3" a "" "" "0")
)
(if (= a nil)(setq w nil))

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: How To Define A Function With Negligible Arguments
Jun 25, 2013I prepared a code to calculate number of days between two date.
I want to know how can I define negligible arguments for my lisp routins. It means if I omitted the arguments, lisp code can handle it without any errors ("; error: too few arguments")
In this case, my program defined as: (TotalDays 1st_date 2nd_date)
(TotalDays 1978 03 21 2013 06 25)
and I want to have flexibility: if I use this routine as (TotalDays 1978 03 21), the program should substitute today's date with second date.
I know if I put "nil" instead of date for 2nd_date, It will not be an error, because:
(if (and y2 m2 d2) (setq n2 (GetJDN y2 m2 d2))(setq n2 (fix (getvar "DATE"))))
but that's not my favourite!, how can I omitted 2nd_date completely? as (TotalDays 1978 03 21)
Here is my lisp

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: STRNUM Error - No Function Definition
Jan 10, 2012I D/L a lisp file (setvars.lsp) that purports to give a list of system variables that match a short string entered in a dialog box.
Unfortunately, an error arises that says 'error : no function definition: STRNUM'
I've looked at the code and can't tell what the writer was hoping to achieve.
The specific section is as follows:
(if F1
(progn
(setq RL (read-line F1))
(while RL
(if (and (wcmatch (strcase RL) (strcase (strcat "*" DESCR1 "*")))
(wcmatch (strcase RL) (strcase (strcat "*" DESCR2 "*")))
[Code] .........
There is no other mention of STRNUM in the whole of the lisp.
There is an accompanying setvars.dat, wherein apparently, the writer compiled a data file of all the system variables in AutoCAD2008, each variable being followed by an '=' and then a description of the variable.
If necessary I can post the whole lisp and dat file, but was hoping to discover the intention from the above extract and therfore where I might work out an alternative to this line.
Looking to turn a string to a real? If so, why are there two 'arguments' following the 'function' STRNUM?
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Upgrade Function To Grab Multiple Blocks?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Commands Not Finishing After Calling Script Within Function
Nov 15, 2013I have a simple lisp function to add a scale axis to a drawing by calling a script, renamed the drawing by appending "withScale" to the file name, and then closing the file. I placed a call to the function in the acad.lsp file in the startup suite. The idea was to batch process all files by simply opening them. Upon open the startup acad.lsp file runs, which calls my lisp function, which in turn calls the scale script. It should then execute the renaming, saving, and closing commands. The problem is that it is calling the script fine and renaming the file, but it does not save the changes before closing. Here is the lisp function
(defun saveScale(); (command "-purge" "all" "" "n")(if (findfile "C:/Users/Russell/Desktop/TreeFiles/Automation/Scale&Key.scr")(command "_script" "C:/Users/Russell/Desktop/TreeFiles/Automation/Scale&Key.scr")); end if (command "_.zoom" "e") (command "_saveas" "2013" (strcat (getvar "dwgprefix") (vl-filename-base (getvar "dwgname")) "withScale.dwg")) (command "close") ) (saveScale)
Apparently you cannont run any lisp commands after calling a script, however the renaming still follows through.
I've attached the script file as well. (I couldn't attach .scr format so you may need to rename it).

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Return To Calling Function After Trapping Error In Subroutine
Mar 13, 2012I've got a subroutine that gets the centroid of a closed polygon (lwpoly). It appears to fail if the polygon has any zero length line segments. I've added a trap that catches the error and "highlights" the offending polygon, but it stops there and does not return to the main function that called the subroutine. Is there a way to get back to the main function from the trap?
Here's the subroutine (original function by _gile (Autodesk LISP Forum 9-18-2006):
(defun return-centroid (lwpoly space / obj Region Centroid)
(setq *error* trap1)
(setq obj (vlax-ename->vla-object lwpoly))

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Move Selected Objects By Value Of Their X Or Y Properties
Nov 23, 2012I need a program to move some selected text to a line something like as extend command but for text objects!
suppose that there is a horizental line (y=constant) or vertical line (x=constant) and some selected text(or other objects), I want a lisp program that move these selected text (or objects) by their "insertion point" to this line.
in other word, if the selected base line is horizental (y=constant) then property of "Y" of all selected text should change to line's "Y"; and if selected base line is vertical (x=constant) then value of "X" of all selected text should match to line's "X" value.
for example, for base vertical line (x=constant) and 3 selected text(or can be any object) result is:
text1. | text1.|
text2. | ===> text2.|
text3. | text3.|
| .text1 |.text1
| .text2 ===> |.text2
| .text3 |.text3
