View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to write content of variables to a text file but I should have conversion function for variables.
for example
(setq a 123); a is an integer type, contetnt of a is 123
so I should use (itoa a) to get "123" as a string and then I can write it to text file.
but what about another type of variables?

I can't write unicode characters to a text file.
as you know, you can write chars on text screen easily: (write-line (strcat "\U+" "2122"))
but if you want to write chars to a text file, this command does not work: (write-line (strcat "\U+" "2122") TxtFileVar)
Here is a part of my code to test:
(defun C:HexGen ( / d f S w x y z h c)(setq d '("0" "1" "2" "3" "4" "5" "6" "7" "8" "9" "A" "B" "C" "D" "E" "F") f (open "c:\0000-FFFF.txt" "w"))(foreach w d (foreach x d (foreach y d (progn (setq S "") (foreach z d (progn (setq h (strcat w x y z)) (setq c (strcat "\U+" h));;;<===character (setq S (strcat S " " (strcat h " = " c ))) ) ) (write-line S f) ) ) )) (close f)(startapp "notepad" "c:\0000-FFFF.txt"))
If I have a CSV file (with no header) that contains three columns and I want to return values of the second column as a list, how is the best method to do that?
I have seen something where one can separate a string into a list by a divider (in my case, the commas between the three columns) but the actual code for me to inspect was supposed to be in an attached ZIP file which I didn't see as part of the post.
An example of my CSV (as a list) wouild be:
("PO-30-10,PIN OAK,88-15" "PO-30-10,PIN OAK,88-01A" "JS-20-5,JUNIPER,63-04" "PP-40-10,POPLAR,38-22")
and I need the resulting list to be:
("PIN OAK" "PIN OAK" JUNIPER" "POPLAR")
Is there a LISP way to do this - or only VLISP?

I am trying to write a lisp routine that will make a layer called hatch, set it as current and then run the hatch command.
BUT the hatch command is not bring up the hatch dialogue box, it just puts things on the command line.
The layer is being made & set current.
The lisp is as follows:
(defun c:hh (/ ec)
(setq ec (getvar "cmdecho"))
(setvar "cmdecho" 0)
(command "-layer" "m" "hatch" "c" "8" "" "l" "continuous" "" "s" "hatch" "")
(command "hatch")
(setvar "cmdecho" ec)
)
On another matter, I have just found the bevel lisp routine by Terry Miller which works great BUT only for imperial measurements. How to make Terry's metric, that will work for metric measurements.

Can a AutoLISP command be written to read an attribute in a block and draw a circle with the attribute as the diameter using variables? The appilcation is taking the diameter of a tree trunk (the attribute), multipling by 12, and drawing the canopy circle on hundreds of those blocks. So the circles drawn will vary in size.
Not sure how this could be set up, i'm not familiar with LISP writing at all.
1) Read block, single, mulitple or definition?
2) Read Attribute
3) Varaible of attribute, (attribute is an inch measurement...it needs to be multipled by 12 to get feet for final use as circle diameter drawn)
4) Draw circle, variable, with diameter coming from attribute variable (attribute in inches that is multipled by 12)
5) Center point or circle to be block's base point
I am looking for a way to force all DWG files created with previous versions of AutoCAD to automatically open "Read Only". For example, using Civil 3D 2011, I open a file that is a 2007 format DWG. I want this file to automatically open read only, and inform the user that it has opened read only.
I'm hoping that this is possible, since opening a 2007 format DWG in a newer AutoCAD already tells you that it's an older format in the command line, and files can already be opened as read only.
I'm looking to draw a mleader (with a leader style CLL_Anno) using the block basepoint as insertion point, read two attributes from that block and use those as the text for the mleader. for example: "attribute - attribute".

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am writing a program to grab a bunch of layers from a list, check a drawing to see if the layers are on the list, and if not save to an external file. I have the second part of the program done, but I can't get the first part to work.

I've also attached one of the text files. Im doing something in the wrong order, or I have something inside the wrong set of parenthesis.
I got a new work and get it done in the next 2 days, but first I need to do this... from a text file (or excel file, I got both) I got 3 columns, 1 one for node number, and 2 other for X and Y coordinates for each node.
So from that file I need to insert into autocad the node numbers as text (using the current style and height) at the point specified by the other two columns, that are the X,Y coordinates which will be the insertion point of text..

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a way to add custom data in dwf files. We currently create 3D models which get exported to dwf format so that we can share information with clients. Ideally, we'd like them to be able to click on any member and have the software provide additonal information about that part. Example, part number. It would be awesome if the client could then say double click that part and have the actual detailed part drawing open up.
The parts we are trying to reference are generated using a third party application, so they are not solids, but the information is easily accessible in LISP.
I am trying to write a lisp file that extracts the LAYER, Z, X, Y, TEXT HEIGHT, POINT NUMBER, from the attached DXF file. Ultimately I will have the lisp insert a "POINT" at the X,Y,Z, cords, and then a "TEXT" entity at the same coordinates with the text height value and the point number string. Both entities need to be on the layer ending in "-PN". The layer name will change depending on the date. I have a third party program that creates the DXF file.
The point of the lisp file is to insert the point numbers and points into my drawing at their correct locations. For the life of me I can not make this work. I have attached the little bit of lisp I have, which unfortunately does not work properly because of it searching for the "TEXT" entry in the DXF file of which there are three per point number. I only need one. I have also attached the DXF file I have. maybe just an overall procedure that I can then code myself? I'm just not good at getting lisp to read a file and extract what I want from it.
