AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Select Multiple Objects And Change Them?
Sep 5, 2013
I am trying to select multiple objects and change them. However, the following code lets me only change one at a time. Even when I select a window around obejcts, it only changes a single item.
start of Same_Cannoscale.lsp(defun C:SCS ( / anno-v ent dict cansc entsc sc-list test oce)
(setq anno-v (getvar "ANNOALLVISIBLE")) (setvar "ANNOALLVISIBLE" 1) (if (= (getvar "CVPORT") 1) (princ "
In Paperspace. ") (if (setq ent (ssget ":S:L"))
[Code] ........

with a function like this I added some xdata, some MULTILEADER
(defun c:add_xdata () (princ "Select: ") (setq ogg (car (entsel))) (addXdata ogg "TEST" "CODICE" "1256") (addXdata ogg "TEST" "MATERIALE" "LEGNO") (addXdata ogg "TEST" "TIPO" "A"))
Now with the following function can only select leaders who have linked the xdata application TEST
(setq selez_all (ssget "X" '((0 . "MULTILEADER")(-3 ("TEST")))))
I can not, however, find a way to select all MULTILEADER who have a particular value of XData.
For example I would select all MULTILEADER with MATERIALE = "LEGNO" and TIPO = "A".

Lisp program, by selecting on screen multiple block attribute and to change those selected (by picking) attributes to colour 252.
At the moment, I'm using a custom macro : ^C^C-ATTEDIT C;252;;
But if I've got a lot of attributes to change, it takes awhile to complete.
I know about BATTMAN but I do not want to change the block entities in that way. The reason I want to change the attributes to colour 252 is because here at this company we do existing drawing in colour 252 and any new equipment on its proper layer colours.

I 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.

How to modify this routine so that I can select multiple objects as opposed to one at a time?

Select Dimension to clear:"))
(setq newdimvalue " ")
(command "dimedit" "n" newdimvalue newdim "")

I have a lisp I use to calculate the area of an object. The section below is the area part of it:
(setq ojt (entsel "Select object to get area of... "))
(command "area" "o" ojt)
(setq oarea (getvar "area"))
I want to modify it to add the areas of multiple objects. Unfortunately it is not as simple as;
(setq ojt (ssget "Select object to get area of... "))
(command "area" "a" "o" ojt)
(setq oarea (getvar "area"))
So how would I go about doing it?

I have this code that I wrote years ago that I want to update to select two types of civil3d objects and show them selected with grips on the screen. This function works fine
(defun CELFEATURE ()
(ssget "_X" '((0 . "AECC_FEATURE_LINE")))
(setq sset (ssget "P"))
(if sset
(progn
(sssetfirst sset sset)
;(command "_.PROPERTIES")
)
)
)
(defun cF () (CELFEATURE))
but if I add the extra object like this which I assume is the wrong syntax i only get the second type of objects. Need correct syntax I should be using for selecting more than one object in an ssget statement.
(defun CELFEATURE ()
(ssget "_X" '((0 . "AECC_FEATURE_LINE","AECC_AUTO_CORRIDOR_FEATURE_LINE")))
(setq sset (ssget "P"))
(if sset
(progn
(sssetfirst sset sset)
;(command "_.PROPERTIES")
)
)
)
(defun cF () (CELFEATURE))

I am trying to select multiple instances of text (dtext) with different strings but want to change all of the fomats to the same settngs. I have searched high and low on the web to no avail. I am using AutoCAD 2012.
For example: I want the routine to find all instances of "AA", "AB", "AC", "AD", "BA", "BB", "BC", "BD", etc... all the way up to "ZD".
Next I want all of those text entities to change to the following text formats:
Text Style = STANDARD_96Layer = F-ANNO-CKTText Justification = MIDDLE CENTERText Width = .8
Getting this to work with just finding one string at a time with the ssget function seems simple enough, but it's getting it to work with multiple strings that I can't get past.

I am just starting learning lisp, And I am looking for a fast way to select multiple objects (usually circle) and export their coordinates and ID into a excel sheet through lisp programming.
As you might see in the attached drawing, the red circles are objects wanted. I have been trying to export their coordinates as well as their IDs in grids, e.g D28, Easting: Northing: . I still haven't found a good way to export ID for each circle.
As my code doesn't work, I wonder what's the most effective way to detect errors in lisp

We wanted to automatically fill a block's attributes from a selection in Excel. I have a piece of code that has the user select/pick a block to fill. What I want is for the selection to fill multiple blocks in an active drawing. Some of the blocks are the same - which means the same tags/attributes. I've included the code that allows the user to select the block and throws the Excel selection to certain attributes.change the code so that
1) I don't have to manually select blocks - it will find them.
2) One cell (from Excel) will go to multiple blocks - some are same block name.
3) An IF statement that if a certain cell isn't blank/nil
(pretend it would be (nth 21 vl) change DESC11 to XYZ and DESC12 to ABC. For Block namesake we'll call one, BLOCK1 (say it has 3 instances and gets different info in each case) BLOCK2 (say it has 2 instances, also gets different info) BLOCK 3 AND 4 both have an attribute - DESCAA1 that gets different info from Excel.

We have a few hundred drawings that we need to change certain block attributes. We need to change the valve of the text in that attribute from whatever it is (doesn't matter what it is) to a specific text string.
For example: If the attribute is called "name" and has the text string of ALAN in it in some drawing or BRUCE in other drawings, we want to chaneg all drawings to TOM.

Newbie here trying to learn LISP. My first program is to flip all arcs and circles that have a Normal Z property of -1. But I'm having trouble finding a detailed list of commands and functions for the LISP language that explain creating circles to selecting entities filtered by properties. I must be searching for the wrong terminology.

I have the following code, that for some reason the last created dimension is no being selected. That's the first problem. The second (and not as improtant) problem( becasue it does work), is that I'm using the "dimedit" command. I prefer to do a swap within the dxf codes, that I treid but didn't work, so I resorted to the "dimedit" command.
(command "DIMLINEAR" pause pause pause)
(setq last_dim (entsel (entlast)))
(setq oldunits (getvar "lunits")) (setq oldprec (getvar "luprec"))

using autolisp or visual lisp I want to open "Select Color Dialog Box" URL....and get RGB color code to my lisp.If I enter "color" in command line, i get color dialog box, but if I use this command in (command "color") I get more promts and not color Dialog Box.
I want to make a lisp routine which would ask for first color, second color and range of colors. And will calculate color range from first color to second color.

There is a very complecated drawing. Texts are on a line and crossing a line or something like that. Some texts has insertion points on the line. When the line is selected by LISP, only the specific texts with insertion points on the line are selected. Does it make sence?

I am interested in a program that can select layers by its color, and then change those layers to a different color and add a prefix of Z- in front of those layers.
Example:
Layer Names: Layer Color: New Layer Names: New Layer Color:
Wall 2 Z-Wall 100
Berm 2 Z-Berm 100
Fence 2 Z-Fence 100
I found a program (below) that works pretty close to what I am looking for but not quite.

;;; Usage - (lay_col_chg oldcolor newcolor

what I'm trying to do is have the program select the block and then I want to get out of it what the Block Name is, so I can then compare it to the list of block names that I want the program to move. Here is what I was trying to use:
(setq enlist2 (ssget "_X" (list '(0 . "INSERT") (cons 10 (trans '(0 0 0) 1 0)))))(setq en (entget enlist2))
However, when I do this, I get this error message: Error: bad argument type: lentityp <Selection set: 1e02>
