AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: While Loop And User Defaults
Apr 25, 2012I have a little LISP I have been working on that creates a text object as a "label" for 2D ductwork our company does. It makes a field for the mlinescale as the duct width, combines with user input for duct depth, and prompts user for location to place the text. The routine is functional...however, I would like to tweak two things that I cannot figure out.
First, I would like the command to continue until the user escapes, similar to the "multiple" command in AutoCAD. I have tried adding a while loop to the majority of the routine..which works until the user escapes...then my error handler undoes everything.
Second, when asking for user input, is it possible to ask for user input without a default the first time, but thereafter remember the input as a default?
Below is the code in question...not including error handler, etc. :
(if (= ducttemp nil)(setq ducttemp 12))
(initget 6)
(setq ductdepth (getint (strcat "
Enter duct depth in inches <" (itoa ducttemp) ">, or Esc to end: ")))
(if (= ductdepth nil) (setq ductdepth ducttemp) (setq ducttemp ductdepth))
[Code] .........
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Parameters Dynamic Blocks
Feb 20, 2012I'm using the attached lisp to change the parameters of a dynamic block. In particular, I use the function chgdynprop
(defun c: test () (setq oggfreccia (car (entsel))) (chgdynprop (Vlax-ename-> vla-object oggfreccia) "Distanze1"300.0))
The lisp function works properly, because if I select the block from the bar I can see that property Distanze1 = 300.0

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Dynamic Block - Accessing Action Parameters
Jun 3, 2013I have a new project coming up where I need to write some simple programs to access the dynamic action parameters in some existing dynamic blocks.I have viewed what I could find on AU, but I still ave not found anything relating in-depth to dynamic blocks.
Any good Tutorials, Articles, or White Papers, on working with dynamic blocks with autolisp/ vlisp? The main function is to access a parameter and change it by entering a numeric value, updating the block. say from a linear/polar stretch, or a linear/ polar move.
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: How To Save DWG To DXF Format
Oct 19, 2011I am trying to save a *.DWG file to *.DXF format. The DXF file is created, but when i tried to open the same DXF file in AutoCAD,it is showing as "not a Valid DXF file".
Code :
// Open *.DWG file
Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.Open("....abc.dwg",true);
// Save to *.DXF format
Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Database.Saveas("....def.dxf",Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.DwgVersion.Current);
// Close and discard changes,if any
Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.CloseAndDiscard();
When i used the save as command in Autocad, it is showing different dxf file formats(AutoCAD 2010 DXF,AutoCAD 2007 /LT 2007 DXF etc..). How to save in particular DXF format. If possible give me a sample C# code for this.

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?
