AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Tool Button Image Missing?

Jul 13, 2011

I added a couple of standard Autocad MAP tabs to a custom  panel and in my custom workspace some of the button images don't show up. If I go to the Planning & Analysis workspace, the images are visible, but in the custom workspace, all I get are clouds with a question mark.

I attached two screen shots.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Making A Most Used Tool Button For Toolbar

Sep 22, 2011

I also note I could use excel but I have this thing where id like to have the lisp and AutoCAD run independent from other external programs.

I’m the CAD monkey at work and I’m given unbelievable autonomy to what I build (sometimes I confuse work with hobby) put all to one side. My functions often require toolbars with several buttons on them what I would like for one toolbar in particular is to make a most used function button. Better said a button at the beginning of my toolbar, which execute the most used button from within that entire toolbar.
 
The ideas so far is to add a write-line (append) function lisp for every button this would intern write a button codename/ reference example SNP for snap and SAV for save and so on. All easy I can do this.
 
What I’m having difficulty with is actually counting the instances of the most used button using lisp. At the moment I’m resorting to a vb.net program, which needs to be shelled first, to recalculate the whole list it works but is messy and quite patch worked. The highest instance would then be used to set a variable, which would be used as the command in the so-called “top 1 tool button”

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Add New / Blank Button To Custom Tool Bar

Apr 17, 2012

AutoCAD 2012

When I am in the CUI editor and I right click on a button in a custom tool bar, it gives me the option to "duplicate" or "copy".

But when I go to change the properties of the new button, it changes both the original and the new button upon "apply".

Can I just add a new/blank button? I've tried dragging a new command from the list at the lower left corner but it does the same thing. :?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Ribbon Button Image Won't Repopulate After Modifying Bitmap Image

May 21, 2013

I am updating my CUI ribbon for some of my customized buttons.  I have changed some of the bitmap images that I have saved in my network folder for the network AutoCAD customization.  However, I cannot get the Ribbon to update to show the new button images.  

I have opened the CUI, browsed down to the partial CUI for our corporate configuration, then to the "Ribbon", then to the "Tabs", then to the individual section of the tab and clicked on it.  Then I click on the specific button in the "Panel Preview" pane to get the properties for that button to show.  Then at the bottom of the "Properties" panel, I click on the "Small Image" line to see the three dots that allow you to browse to where the .bmp is stored.  I have not renamed the bitmaps, but just modified their color and the way they look.  So I have to change the .bmp file to a different location in the small image properties, then change it back to the correct image name.  It will update the appearance in the "Panel Preview", but will not update the actual ribbon.  I click on "Apply" and "OK", and it still doesn't update the actual ribbon.  I have tried closing and restarting AutoCAD after that.  As a last resort, I rebooted to see if that would complete the change, but in vain.

I made sure that the network location for the bitmap files is listed in my Options > Support File Search Path (very near the top of the support file list), but that still isn't solving the problem.

How to get AutoCAD to completely forget the old image that is showing on the ribbon and repopulate it with the updated bitmap image?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Dialog Box Button

Feb 15, 2012

I would like to creat a dialog box with buttons or radio buttons to insert various blocks.  something easy to start the dialogue, push the button desired and my block or lisp is inserted or run. I have the dcl part figured out.  i'm not quite smart enough to get the lisp down.  is there a generic lisp that can reference a lisp command that i can alter or edit and add to?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: DCL Radio Button Label Length

Jun 28, 2013

I am trying to revise an old dialog box so that I can add some new options but I'm finding it difficult to shorten the label for a radio button enough to get the box width to look reasonable. I read somewhere that Windows fonts cause the label lengths to hold extra space for each character. The webpage that I found this on said the solution was to make a new line for the label, which sounded great to me, but they did not tell how to do it. After much searching, I figured out how to add an additional line to the label, but my program now refuses to function correctly. I set the middle button before initiating the dialog in my lisp, but when I select a different option, the original button remains selected along with the user's choice. The program actually works, using the last button selected, but I really want the button to respect the pick by the user and deselect the default button.

This worked perfectly when I had only two selections, and it still worked perfectly when I added the third option, but it just doesn't like it when I try to add a new line for the long description in the middle of a radio column.

I'm barely functional with dialog boxes..

DCL in question:
:boxed_radio_column { label = "Location"; width = 20; height = 2; fixed_width = true; fixed_height = true; alignment = top; :radio_button{key = "sl-AD"; label = "Spring Lake Applications";} :text_part{label = " and Distributor Services";} :radio_button{key = "sl-BP"; label = "Spring Lake BP Systems";} :radio_button{key = "gr"; label = "Grand Rapids";} }
 
lisp has the following in this order:

load dialog - I have a loading function that works fine
(set_tile"sl-BP""1")
(action_tile"sl-AD"           "(TGW-Setup_01 $key)")
(action_tile"sl-BP"           "(TGW-Setup_01 $key)")
[Code] .....

Of course, these are just the pertinent sections of a much larger setup dialog, but I didn't think I needed to post all the functions that this program is doing, since you'd have a difficult time running this without my templates, printers and a number of support files.

Like I said, it seems to be choking on my adding :text_part {  Label = "      and Distributor Services";} instead of making this a single line of the label for the button above it.

Why does this cause the default radio button to stop releasing?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Update Radio Button Default Values In Dialog Box?

Apr 3, 2012

Rudimentary lisp & dialog box skillls here...

I have a little dialog box with seven radio buttons and a text box that generically accomplishes what it's supposed to do. To retain the current dialog values, I use the write-lline function to store the information and then use read-line to bring that information back in for other Lisps that I use. As long as the user doesn't open the dialog, whatever options were last selected will remain in effect.

However, if the user re-opens the dialog, then whatever defaults I have initially set up in the dialog will then become active (in other words, whichever of the radio buttons I have set to "1")

My question is whether or not I can have the dialog box set up so that if a user selects an alternate radio button, that radio button will keeo it's value whether or not the dialog is opened and until and if the user changes it..

As it is now, whenever the user opens the dialog box to change, say one radio button, the user then has to change the other radio buttons if the defaults don't match the current run requirements.

Here's the dialog and the lisp:

OPTIONS : dialog {
label = "   Counter to Cad Options";          
: spacer {
height = 0.75;

[Code] ......

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Missing OSnap Points With PDF Files

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Missing Ribbon Combo Box - Workspace

I am unable to find the "Ribbon Combo Box - Workspace" to our 2013 MEP or ACA CUI. It is visible in vanilla AutoCAD 2013, but it isn't listed in the Command List (under Ribbon Control Elements). I am unable to transfer it from AutoCAD's cuix either. We typically have this control in our Quick Access Toolbar, but I am unable to create this same environment in the 2013 verticals.

I am unable to see it even using one of the default profiles, like "AutoCAD Architecture (US Imperial)".

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Retaining Tool Palette Grouping

Apr 18, 2011

I am developing 'enterprise' tool palettes which i've put on a networked drive to which i have write permissions and the users have read-only permissions. Within these palettes, each palette has separators and Text titles to group the commands and these groups originally appeared on everyone's computer as i expected when i first made them available. But now when i add new commands to a palette on the networked drive, the new command appears on the correct palette, but at the bottom of the palette, on the user's computers.

I have made provisions for each user to create their own collection of palettes, which are saved on their own directory and, of course, they can do whatever they want with them. But i want to prevent them from re-organizing the enterprise palettes and more importantly, if i add a new command in palette "X" and locate it in group "y" of that palette, i want it to be in that location when the users view it.

Is there some way to make the enterprise palettes on their computers look like i arrange them?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Tool Palette From Shared Catalog?

Now I want to connect this to a catalog, so it can refresh from there. I should be able to export the tool palette with a right click but I only have the possibility to rename, new palette or delete.

I guess that once I have managed to export the catalog I can then easily import the tool palette in my colleagues computer. Also if it links to the same catalog we should be able to easily refresh it.

We use Autocad 2012 with hsbCad.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: How To Migrate Custom Tool Palettes And Toolbars

How do I migrate my Custom Tool Palettes and Custom Toolbars from Civil 3D 2012 to Civil 3D 2014?

What files do I need to create or copy to transfer to 2014?

My Custom Tool Palette consists of Block Symbols, Border Sheets, Scales and Seals, Lisp Routines etc.

My Custom Toolbar is just a number of standard cad commands I've put together in my toolbar like Revision Cloud, Layer Isolate, Match Properties, Attach Image, etc.

Do I need to export out my cui file, do I need to create a Profile file, do I need to setup the same directory structure naming and copy my files into those same directory names?

Or is there some easy hidden Magic Button in Civil 3D that you click on and it does the rest?
