AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Loading Cuix From Bundle When User Is Not Administrator
Jun 5, 2013We are using .cuix file which gives access to tools in custom .arx file in AutoCAD 2012/2013. We load the menu using the .bundle mechanism and the plug-in - using button from the menu. If the user is Administrator (or executes AutoCAD as Administrator) the menu, toolbars and ribbons are loaded correctly and the user can load and unload the application (lisp function in .mnl file is used for that), but if the user is not an administrator either the menu, toolbars and ribbons are not correctly loaded or they are loaded, but the user can not load the application.
We have found that a probable cause for this behaviour is that AutoCAD tries to create/renew the .mnr file when first loading a .cuix file and since the user has no administrator rights this can't be done in the "C:Program FilesAutodeskApplicationPlugins" folder where the bundle is and AutoCAD creates the .mnr file in its own support folder ("C:Users<User>AppDataRoamingAutodeskAutoCAD 2012R18.2...Support") together with a copy of the .cuix file and changes the path for loading the .cuix file to this location. Since the .mnl file containing the function for loading/unloading is not copied with the .cuix file the application can not be loaded.
The user has to delete the created files under the support path of AutoCAD, unload the .cuix file and then reload it from the correct location to resolve the problem. Restarting AutoCAD leads to the same problem.
Is there a way to prevent this behavior other then running AutoCAD as administrator (that is not always an option)?
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Rename A CUIX
Oct 29, 2013I would like to update a CUIX and rename it, both the file name and the internal customization group name/description. The main issue is that the associated MNL file will fail to load after the renaming.
The internal name is currently the same as the file name with spaces replaced by underscores.
I have tried the CUIX transfer method, I have tried simply renaming the file and leaving the internal name alone, I have also tried renaming to .ZIP, and modifying the one file inside that contains the internal name/description, recompiling the ZIP and renaming back to CUIX.
As stated above, using any of the above methods the main issue is that the associated MNL file will fail to load. This is with Civil 3D 2014. Also the customization group name may appear in the CUILOAD dialog without underscores and depending on the method the ribbon tabs will not even appear.
I've also noted that the MNL file associated with the partial CUIX loads twice in Civil 3D 2014 and only once in AutoCAD 2013. I haven't done further testing on that.
This is mainly cosmetic as our current CUIX has 2011 in the name and I would like to update to 2014.
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Profiles With Different Cuix?
Oct 7, 2012I have created to new profiles: Pro1 & Pro2.
I also have 2 new .cuix's, they were made automatically when I menuloaded my old .mns files. They are called Cu1 andd Cu2
I want Pro1 to contain Cu1 &
I want Pro2 to contain Cu2
The problem I am having is when I menuload any cuix file it appears in each profile, It has been so long since I did this that I can't figure.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Menu Swapping - Migrating To CUIX From MNS
Jan 1, 2010I read Robert Bell's document “Migrating from MNU to the CUI” (Autodesk University 2007) with interest. I have been using 2005 up until now and I am finally forcing myself to get to grips with 2010.
I managed to get it to work after much trial and error through the CUI transfer interface.My customizing makes use of a lot of swapping pull-down menus, which swap in and out based on current later setting.A typical command would be:
(MENUCMD "P15=RCASPOPS.mfireeqp") where RCASPOPS is my swapping menu loaded at POP15.
Then I would use (MENUCMD "P15=*") to force the “mfireeqp” area of the pull-down menu to display.Trouble is, when I CUIload RCASPOPS, it does not seem to recognize the various areas of the menu.Here is a part of that subsection of RCASPOPS:
***MFIREEQP
[FireProtEquipLayers]
[--]
[0]0;
[defpoints]defpoints;
[X-Refs]x----ref;
[code]...
Typically the whole of RCASPOPS is loaded but when I try to force it to display, the whole of it pops on the screen (well, the top of the file does anyway) and not just the subsection I want.
Is this a syntax issue with the newer AutoCad?Also notice that I use the -> and <- for fly-out sections of the menu - is there a syntax issue with this? I notice that the future support of drop down swapping menus is not guaranteed. What is the alternative?
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: List Of Workspaces For Menu Files CUI And CUIX
Dec 8, 2013Retrieving a list of Workspaces from menu files .cui and .cuix
The function to use is (workspacelist) which returns a list of workspace names, similar to (layoutlist) for retrieving a list of Layout names.
The functionality for extracting "WorkspaceRoot.cui" from .cuix requires copying the .cuix to .zip so that it can be accessed as a Windows compressed (zipped) folder which the Windows object "Shell.Application" provides.
Please rename the attachment to .lsp
I received the following error when I tried to post the .lsp: "The contents of the attachment doesn't match its file type."
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Partial Cuix - Adding Commands To Shortcut Menus
Oct 17, 2013I'm able to add custom panels/buttons into the Ribbons, by cloning the existing ribbon (from acade.cuix) into my partial cuix. However.. I'm not able to add more commands to the shortcut menus, using the same technique.
Is it possible to add custom commands to existing shortcut menus using a partial cuix?
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Fail To Use Third Party Software To Select Objects
Oct 11, 2013I have a problem in using a LISP program to use a tool from a third party software. We use a third party software in AutoCAD to draw objects on AutoCAD drawing (HVAC duct work). Because the objects are stored in the drawing in the format that only the third party software can understand, we rely on using the tools from the third party software to operate on their objects. That third party software is designed for many customers, and we are just one of their customer. Therefore, we cannot expect the third party software to have everything that we want. We want to develop a LISP program to automate our process to meet our specific needs. That LISP program will need to use the tools from the third party software in order to operate on their objects. And that is where the problem starts.
We have a piece of duct that has a duct body and a piece number tag. I have the entity handle of the duct body in our database. And I can use it to select the duct body using plain LISP program. But I don't know a way to select the piece number tag that is corresponding to the duct body. I have examined the properties of the duct using (entget (car (entsel))). But I cannot find an obvious way to link from the duct body to the piece number tag. This means I have to use a selection-tool from the third party software to select the piece number tag of the duct that I have selected using LISP. Unfortunately, I find that the third party selection-tool doesn't seem to work if I call it right in the middle of a LISP program. On the other hand, it works if I use it manually (outside LISP) or if it is used right before the LISP program is terminated. I don't understand why it doesn't work in the middle of a LISP program. I asked the developer of the third party software, and he said that this could not be done without rewriting the entire software.
By the way, I call that third party selectin-tool by either manually clicking at a button or using a C# program to simulate a mouse click at the button. Either way, the result is the same.

Jan 23, 2013how to program in lisp. I have a master lisp routine that runs when Autocad is opening. I have some computers running Autocad 2010 and others with Autocad 2012 and from the master lisp routine (which is the same) I need to load a net assembly (one for Autocad 2010 or another for Autocad 2012).

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Loading A Menu Wipes Out Workspaces?
Apr 7, 2012I have some legacy menus that are quite large. I have tried to create a new workspace, and that seemed to work o.k.
UNTIL I used menuload to try to load the old menu. At the point all the defualt workspaces were wiped out somehow.
I would like to have access to both the default workspaces and then also by switching to a custom workspace, my legacy menus.

Nov 9, 2011We have been using Custom profiles for many years. We have always had issues that just after we install, we have to reload the custom profile to get it in place. When I say reload, I mean we launch the program the first time with a /p <profile name>. (The path to our custom profile is in the string launch string.) Seems to default to a random profile, or something we don't recognize. The process here is we are pushing out installs to 200 users and don't want each user to set one of the defaults current, delete our custom one, reload our custom one and set it current.
Once the profile is loaded the next times opening all is well. Because, of course, it was last used.
What am I missing or misunderstanding? We see the profile exists in the registry before we reload. The custom profile we use is an export.

Apr 5, 2013I have added a few custom autocad commands that are specific to my scenario. I created Ribbon (and Menu for classic mode) for these commands and they are working fine. The only issue is that these Buttons (Ribbon and Menu for classic mode) are not loading the images(icons). All I get is a cloud image for both commands.
I have used 16X16 for small image and 32X32 for large image. Both are bmp files. These are attached to the custom Autocad command that I am using. The commands themselves are working fine, except for the image which is not displayed. In short, what can be the possible reason for images not showing up?
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Continuous Dimension Lisp That Alternate Its Position
Jul 12, 2012Is there a lisp that will allow me to do a continuous dimension, but will alternate the dimension position from low, high, low and high? If there is no lisp already created, how to create one?
See Continuous dimension attachment for example.
I work at a glass and glazing company and this is how we dimension mullion width and DLO. See typical window dimensioning attachment for window elevation with dimensions.

Oct 9, 2013I'm trying to find acceptable point values to feed to the vlax-3d-point function for a vla-addmtext function. With vanilla lisp I just provide the point as x y = "7/32" "2-3/8". So I assumed that I could drop a 0 in for the z like: (VLAX-3D-POINT "7/32" "2-3/8" 0).
Then I thought I was going to be tricksy and try (vlax-3D-point (getpoint)) believing that I could pick the point and get what I need to feed the function, but yet again, no deal. The command line gave me:

of #<variant 8197 ...>
Nothing I can use in my code. So how do I find the point in a format that vlax-3d-point will like?
