A program that prompts:"select objects:" then I can select some objects like as text, line, circle,... after that program find all texts in selected items and swap text
swap means: xxx/yyy ===> yyy/xxx ; "/" is a divisor
I’m trying to put together a loop for if nil or something other than text or mtext is accidentally selected than prompt text was not selected. This is what I have so far.
I have a little routine to add two selected numerical texts together and show the result at a selected position. I am using the entsel method to select them. I would like a way to highlight the selected text temporarily. Is this possible. The routine is as follows.
(defun c:T+ ( / Txt1 Txt2 Txt3 Pkt ) ;Adds second selected number to first (setvar "dimzin" 3) (setq curlay (getvar "clayer")) (setq curcol (getvar "cecolor")) (setq curlin (getvar "celtype")) (setq ds (getvar "dimscale"))
lisp routine that will add together the values of text entities? For instance, if I have a big parking lot and each section is labeled with the number of spaces, I could pick the texts and it would add all the numbers together to give me a total. Right now I export to excel to do this. I have quite a few situations where this would be handy, not just for parking spaces, so I really just want a lisp that will add all my selected numbers.
I have very little knowledge in complex Autolist routines and routine to do the following:
I would like to be able to provide a Prefix and/or Suffix via dialog then pick any line of text or multiple lines of text and have it concentrate. For example: Prefix: First Floor Suffix: M100. I pick the room text on an arch floor plan "Mechanical room" and the second line "100" The result will be "First Floor Mechanical room 100 M100".
But lets take it a final step further; once condensed, I want it added to a perticular tag attribute in a block I inserted.
Example of how I would use it. I insert a symbol for an addressable smoke detector that has several tags; one of them being Location. I would use this routine to gather the information provided by the Arch floor plan and join it with the block attribute for exporting later for use in the Fire Alarm Panel Programming.
the 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.
I have an mdb database, with one table called MATRIX. That table has seven relevant fields, see attachment. What I want to have is for every language an txt file.
Any way to detect of there are objects currently selected using Autolisp, visual lisp or even VBA. I would like to be able to do something using that as a conditional, so that (assuming the hypothetical variable isSelected is an on/off indicator of whether or not something is selected) I can code something like this:
I 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:
i have found the following lisp in a previous thread: (shows XY coordinates of the selected blocks)
(defun C:MyFunc (/ ss Index Ename Lst) (while (or (not ss) (= 0 (sslength ss))) (setq ss (ssget '((0 . "INSERT"))))) (if ss
[Code]....
I want this information to be added to the blocks as hidden attributes so that i can extract them by attout. The work to be done is : attout to excel, autofill an attribute (numbering) then attin.
but my problem is that i cant think of a way to number those blocks IN ORDER (ie top to bottom or left to right) unless by sorting them in excel first by their x or y coordinates
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.
I want to be able to get the vplayer color of a selected object as part of a larger routine I'm putting together.
I found a lisp for counting of selected block in a table drawing, but I can not remove the bottom line of this lisp that displays "total" blocks. How to remove this line from "total" that is created in the last row of the table that lisp.
lisp : ========================================
(defun c:TABL (/ blk_id blk_len blk_name blks ent h header_lsp height i j TOTAL len0 lst_blk msp pt row ss str tblobj width width1 width2 x y )
I having real difficulty finding a lisp that will find and replace blocks. There are plenty out there and AutoCAD 2013 and lower has a Find and Replace Blocks. However, the frustrating catch is I can seem to find a routine that will allow me to replace only those blocks that I select with a selection set of my choosing. The built in function replaces all of them and will not let you exclude some. We have PID drawings that we want to replace valves on, but not all valves. We don't want to rename. We don't need to BEDIT the existing block.
1) Pick group of blocks
2) specify a new block that will replace all instances of old block
3) replace inserted block with different block. Leaving others alone.
I'm thinking this should be easy, but my search has failed. The blocks in question are not dynamic or attributed either.
Is 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))
I am trying to write a program to align a block with two selected destination points. - first the user is prompted to select a lwpolyline of a block entity - then he is prompted to pick two destination points
I face problem with the sub-routine SegmentPts. It is supposed to return the coordinates of two vertexes on both sides of the picked point on a lwpolyline using entsel. But here in my program, when i am picking a point using entsel on a lwpolyline inside a block entity, it is not returning the two vertexes on both sides of the picked point. In stead, it returns some other points of the selected LWPOLYLINE. Why it is doing so? Where is the problem in my program?
It works fine with my other programs where i pick on a LWPOLYLINE entity. In this particular case, the LWPOLYLINE is inside a Block entity and the program is not returning correct points.
Please check Lisp Program below:
(defun C:alb() (setq ent1 (entsel " Pick on one side of LWLINE ofa Block:" )) (setq ent (nentselp (cadr ent1))) [code]........
I am looking for a way to extract (filter) all polylines, and loop a lisp based on the number that are found within a "W" selection window.I am frustrated getting "malformed list" or errors, even after defining "n" for repeat.The code I have so far looks like this:
Without the (repeat () portion, it was working ok with selection window, however it only would run the commands for a single polyline. What needs to be done without overhauling the code? The lisp has worked on a drawing-wide basis, however needs to run on only on user-windowed polylines since there are other polylines within the drawing which are attached to layouts via viewports.
