AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Sort List Of Lists By Size Of Units?
May 2, 2013
I am trying to sort a list of lists by the size of units.
Here is the unsorted list -
(setq List_Blocks
(list
(list "10x10" "UNIT DOWN-CC" 56)
(list "7.5x10" "UNIT DOWN-CC" 20)
(list "5x5" "UNIT DOWN-CC" 34)
(list "10x15" "UNIT EXTERIOR" 32)
(list "5x10" "UNIT DOWN-CC" 31)
(list "10x20" "UNIT EXTERIOR" 24)
(list "10x30" "UNIT EXTERIOR" 13)
(list "10x25" "UNIT EXTERIOR" 2)
)
)
I would like the list sorted by the first number before the "X" and then by the second number after the "X".
Example of sorted list -
(list "5x5" "UNIT DOWN-CC" 34)
(list "5x10" "UNIT DOWN-CC" 31)
(list "7.5x10" "UNIT DOWN-CC" 20)
(list "10x10" "UNIT DOWN-CC" 56)
(list "10x15" "UNIT EXTERIOR" 32)
(list "10x20" "UNIT EXTERIOR" 24)
(list "10x25" "UNIT EXTERIOR" 2)
(list "10x30" "UNIT EXTERIOR" 13)

Someday the light bulb is going off and I will understand mapcar and lambda. However.....I have a program that reads an excel file sheets. Sometimes the sheet only has 1 column, sometimes 2 or more.
I need to convert the saved values from the sheet to a list with the text spaced evenly. Unfortunately the text lengths vary. I would like a subroutine to pass the list to and return a list of strings with text aligned with padded spaces allowing for the longest text in each column. I am using the new list in a dialog box with fixed_width_font=true (so columns align).
Example 1-
(setq List1 (list "Col1-Line1" "Col1-Line2" "Col1-Line3-longer" "Col1-Line4"))
(AlignText List1)
returns
"Col1-Line1"
"Col1-Line2"
"Col1-Line3-longer"
"Col1-Line4"
so no padding needed
Example 2 -
(setq List2 (list (list "Col1-Line1" "Col1-Line2" "Col1-Line3-longer" "Col1-Line4") (list "Col2-Line1-longer" "Col2-Line2" "Col1-Line3" "Col2-Line4")))
(AlignText List1)
returns
"Col1-Line1 Col2-Line1-longer"
"Col1-Line2 Col2-Line2 "
"Col1-Line3-longer Col2-Line3 "
"Col1-Line4 Col2-Line4 "
Example 3 -
(setq List3 (list (list "Col1-Line1" "Col1-Line2-longer" "Col1-Line3" "Col1-Line4") (list "Col2-Line1-longer" "Col2-Line2" "Col1-Line3" "Col2-Line4") (list "Col3-Line1-longer" "Col3-Line2" "Col1-Line3" "Col3-Line4")))
returns
"Col1-Line1 Col2-Line1-longer Col3-Line1-longer"
"Col1-Line2-longer Col2-Line2 Col3-Line2 "
"Col1-Line3-longer Col2-Line3 Col1-Line3 "
"Col1-Line4 Col2-Line4 Col3-Line4 "

I need to build an association list with nested association lists.
Here is my current
(IF (SETQ SUBLST (ASSOC CATEGORY PLNTLST))(PROGN (SETQ PLNTS (CONS PLANTNAME (LIST(CONS 'SIZE (dict-get PLANTNAME "SIZE"))(CONS 'COLOR (dict-get PLANTNAME "COLOR"))(CONS 'QTY (dict-get CATEGORY PLANTNAME))) ) PLNTLST (cons PLNTS SUBLST) ))(SETQ PLNTS (CONS PLANTNAME (LIST (CONS 'SIZE (dict-get PLANTNAME "SIZE")) (CONS 'COLOR (dict-get PLANTNAME "COLOR")) (CONS 'QTY (dict-get CATEGORY PLANTNAME)) ))PLNTLST (CONS CATEGORY PLNTS)))

How can I sort an association list?
for example:
(setq lst '((1 . "s") (12 . "t") (-7 . "u") (0 . "v")))
should be sorted as:
((-7 . "u") (0 . "v") (1 . "s") (12 . "t"))
{ sort on: (car(assoc index lst)) value}

I am trying to write a piece of a program that gets the layers from a drawing, and checks each one against a list of layers. If the layer is not a member of any of the lists it asks the user which layer list to add it to. This is what I have so far, but every time I try to run it I get a bad argument error.
(setq layerspresent (vla-get-layers (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object))))(setq i 0) (repeat (vla-get-count layerspresent)(setq thislayer (vla-get-name (vla-item layerspresent i)))(cond(((progn(or(= nil (member thislayer 0list))(= nil (member thislayer detaillist))(= nil (member thislayer clearancelist))(= nil (member thislayer clearanceelist))(= nil (member thislayer doorsdrawerslist))(= nil (member thislayer hiddenlist))(= nil (member thislayer hiddenelist))(= nil (member thislayer deletelist)))));ifs((progn(initget "0 DEtail CLearance CLEarance-e DOOrs-and-Drawers HIdden HIddEn-E DELete")(setq userchoice (getkword "
[code]...
Depending on the user's choice the layer gets written to an external file where the layer lists get their layers from in the beginning and then adds the layer to the relevant list to use later in the program.

I 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 am trying to open a file read the contents and save it to a list.
Here is the code I have so far, but it doesn't even get into the foreach statement.
(setq layerslist (list '"0list" '"detaillist" '"clearancelist" '"clearanceelist" '"doorsdrawerslist" '"hiddenlist" '"hiddenelist" '"deletelist"))(setq count 0)(foreach thislayer layerslist (setq f (open (strcat "C:\filterlists\" thislayer ".txt") "r")) (while (/= (setq text (read-line f)) nil) (setq (read thislayer) (cond ( (= 0 count) (cons (cons 8 text) (read thislayer)))( (append (read thislayer) (list (cons 8 text))) ) );cond );setq (setq count (+ count 1)) );while (close f) );foreach
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'm new to working with scripts and have played with it a little bit but my knowledge is severly lacking, I picked up script pro and have had some success batching simple commands.
What I have is a large database with differing layer convensions that I want be able to run a script that will open rename layers save and close, the layers are not of the same name but similar enough that I could set peramiters for less then a duzon layer names and catch my target then rename it to a standard, for example "A-wall exterior" to "A-WL-EXT", a simple enough command but within the database the "A-wall exterior" could be one of a duzon simmilar names.
My thought was to run the -rename la "layername" "layername" qsave script but when the original layer is not found it gets stuck untill script pro times out and fails. If there is some way to search out names and once found rename that would work.

This routine select a lot of object texts and export the list to file (.TXT)
I want to export this list in ascending sort.
e.g. : H1, H2, H3, H10, H20, HT1, HT2, HT10...
How to change it to do this?

Brackets in alternate units ...?
Is there any possible way to eliminate the brackets from around Alternate Units? I could swear I've seen a routine around that enables you to do this.

Is there a way of opening existing cmds in the visual lisp editor and edit them to do something else? I'd like to set up a lisp where 'uu' would switch the drawing units from decimal to architectural units and hittng 'uu' again would switch it back.

I have a list -
(setq List1 (list "Line A" "Line B" "Line C"))
I would like to add each item in an existing list to a new list -
(setq ListNew (list "This is some text" "This is more text"
the following is the part I can't figure out - it just adds the list to the list, not the individual items
(mapcar '(lambda (x) x) List1)))
I am looking for ListNew to be - (a list with 5 strings)
"This is some text"
"This is more text"
"Line A"
"Line B"
"Line C"

I have a list that contains data like this,
"Tree-01-08-AA5"
"Tree-04-12-QV"
"Tree-10-30-QS"
How would I go about sorting this list by AA5, QV, QS? I know how to use vl-sort and reverse, but I do not understand how I would go about this.

I need to modify the code below.
When I run the command and write the scale, I need to change the name of the scale and the ratio automatically. The ratio should always be in the format "1: #", also the name of the scale. Maybe assigning more variables with "setq", I do not know.
(defun c:test ()(setvar "cmdecho" 0)(setq name (getint "
Type the scale you need:"))(setq ratio (strcat "1:" "0.1"))(command "-SCALELISTEDIT" "Add" name ratio "Exit")(setvar "cmdecho" 1)(princ))

Here's one that I could use on that i can't figure out:
I have a list of a bunch of descriptions that looks like this:
("00.02.00" "CTD01 Mainframe PT1 (top)" "GD01")
What I am doing is grabbing the middle item and i need to break this up into 2 lines. So, my code below grabs the first 3 "words" in the second item in the list and puts them in a list, but I need to convert this back to a string.
(setq desc6a (list (car (read (strcat "(" (cadr input6) ")" )))(cadr (read (strcat "(" (cadr input6) ")" ))) (caddr (read (strcat "(" (cadr input6) ")" )))))
I tried a bunch of ways but can't get it

I've been experimenting with lists and I'm curious about the fastest / easiest way to get the next element from a list:
Currently my best shot is to wrap (member 2 '(1 2 3)) with: (car(cdr (member 2 '(1 2 3))))

Here is the code snippet from my program, I am trying to build a associative list from two regular lists in the while loop. Does ""append " or "cons" only work for simple lists? Given attributeNameList attributeValTypeList which are always of the same length
(setq listCntr 0)
(while (<= listCntr (length attributeNameList))
(setq attrTagTypeAssnList (append attrTagTypeAssnList (list ((nth listCntr attributeNameList) (nth listCntr attributeValTypeList))) ))
(setq listCntr (1+ listCntr)
)
How can I dynamically build the association list.

I've created a list and want to subtract all the values within it from another variable, and assign it to a new variable. How do I do it?
Basically, I ask for ground level (assigned to variable G1), and then any number of depths beneath that (assign to list LVLLIST), and I want to return the value of the bottom point. So it's all the values in LVLLIST added together and subtracted from G1. And assign it to a new variable BASE.
For example,
G1 = 650.00
LVLLIST = (1.23 23.26 0.13 50.23)
(setq BASE (- G1 LVLLLIST))

In the example given I have two instances to show how unique the information can be.
I would like the left column of words to be some type of drop down or list so that the user does not have to type these for each line. I don't care if it's attribute, text, mtext, just whatever gets it done.

I have the following string of code, that I'll write in everyone's start-up suite. I'm able to retrieve a list of files I want to modify, for whatever reason. (One example, when plotting drawings with layouts, sometimes the shadeplot setting is wireframe, and not classic hidden, though it's been set up in our templates).
The huge question is, can I get a list of drawings to a variable in one drawing, and have access to that variable list, in the next drawing I open? I'll iron out the bugs on read-only statuses, or manipulating drawing states later.
(defun GetDrawings ()
(setq currentpath (getvar "dwgprefix"))
(command "pspace")
(setq DrawingList (dos_getfilem "Select a file" currentpath "Drawing files (*.dwg)|*.dwg|All files (*.*)|*.*||"))
(setq ListOfDrawings (cdr DrawingList))
(setq DrawingPath (nth 0 DrawingList))

I want to make a list of layers due to their index (order) in the "layers combo box" in the AutoCAD. I prepared this:
(defun c:ListLayers ( / a b)(setq a(list(cdr(assoc 2(tblnext "layer" T)))))(while(setq b(tblnext "layer")) (setq a(append a(list(cdr(assoc 2 b))))));while);end
But, It's not match with the order of layers.

How can I determine what was selected in the pop-up box and then using that for 1 of 2 things, either 1) Turn off the Edit Box for Hole Spacing if the selected option is 1(which would be value = "0" of the popup list) or 2) Making the portion where it confirms that the Hole Spacing Edit Box is filled out so that if the Pop-up List displays 1, it doesn't check the Hole Spacing Box. Below is the DCL and LISP that I'm currently using.
Here is my current DCL:
questions :dialog {label = "Information for Program";: row {: column {: boxed_radio_row {key = "Galv";label = "Galv Slot Required?";: radio_button {key = "Y"; label = "Yes"; value = "1";}: radio_button {key = "N"; label = "No";}}: boxed_radio_row {key = "Bevel";label = "Is Leg to Face

I'm making a program that reads a property file that follows the format:
"key=value" for each line on the text file.
One specific line has the key "file" and the value is some file path that includes a space.file=C:/my folder/my file.txt
Now I can extract what the key and value is for any given line in the file.However, I want to put all of the data into an Associative List so that I will not need to keep opening the file each time I search for information. I've been using the cons function in order to create a dotted list, which is successful. However I have an issue when I add this dotted list to the end of my associative list.
Suppose I have a key and a value already stored inside variables. Below I have two lines of code, first the dotted list portion is printed, and works as expected. The second line adds that dotted list to the associative list:
(princ "Cons: ")(princ (cons key val)) (princ "") ;Prints (file . C:/my folder/my file.txt)(setq assocList (append assocList (cons key val))) ;Error message here.
The error that I receive says "; error: bad list: "C:/my folder/my file.txt"..Here is the change:
(setq assocList (append assocList (list (cons key val))))
Now, the dotted list is inserted properly and looks like this after printing the whole associative list: ((version . 1.0.1) (file . C:my foldermy file.txt))

Is it possible to obtain a list of coordinates for view ports (with dxf codes or otherwise) similar to obtaining a list of (assoc 10) for polylines?
I'm aware I can get the center, width and height from the dxf codes, but what about for clipped view ports with irregular shapes?
