AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Blurry CUI Icons
Jan 17, 2013Before I get to my problem, let me give you a brief description of our environment. I recently created a custom GUI for my company that uses mostly macros to insert blocks. This gui is loaded as a partial into the machine.
Now, personally I don't like going back and forth between 3 tabs all day long, and I can get the bulk of the panels/tools I use (whether they were from ACAD or my own partial CUI) all into tab. I create the new tab, and drag and drop any panels I want from ACAD & the partial into this new tab. Then I customize my workspace and add the tab. I have a problem though with some of the icons from my partial coming in blurry, and I can't seem to fix it.
I've tried everything I can think of. The steps I've tried are:
Going to the CUI, selecting the command (under MEP, not my partial name), deleting the icons for both large & small icons, then re-linking them. Didn't workSame as above, but rather than deleting the icons, I edit the icon, and import the one I want to replace it with. Still doesn't work.Same as above, but tried clicking on the icon directly and selecting import. I've attached 2 pictures.
I'm using a 22" monitor, and have more horizontal room and no tabs are being collapsed.
I added another attachment to show the Lutron wires from the partial. This attachment is "partial icons2"
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Multi-line Tooltip For Icons?
Feb 24, 2013I have some my own Icons on my Toolbar in Autocad that prepared by myself,
I can define tooltip for those icons by "Description" property of icons in CUI.
but the limitation is: I will have just single-line and simple tooltips!
so, how can I define multi-line tooltips for my own icons? or even graphical tooltip?!
should I use "Zammel" language?
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Different DWG Version Icons In Windows Explorer
May 23, 2013Back in the day, there was an application that showed the drawing version # in the icon in windows explorer. That was good for then, because of the lack of object data in many of the vertices. The link I have isn't valid anymore and it didn't work in Win7.
What I'd like to have is something that will show the different Acad versions related to the icon using the product ID, for example:
ACAD-5xxx = 2007
ACAD-6xxx = 2008
ACAD-7xxx = 2009
ACAD-8xxx = 2010
ACAD-9xxx = 2011
then in 2012 they changed to Axxx
2013 = Bxxx (???) I dont' have 2013 loaded
2014 = Dxxx (what happened to Cxxx?)
With the lack of backward compatibility between versions for objects (and I totally get that), it would be nice to be able to tell by an icon which version was used to create the drawing. I know the version information is stored in the header, which can be read, I'm just not a programmer.
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Dotted Pairs Control Transparency
Oct 17, 2012I am using entmake to create a line but I want the transparency to be a percentage. I know that the (440 . xxxxxx) dotted pair controls transparency. I don't understand the number that has to be used with 440. What numbers to put in for different transparencies?

Sep 11, 2012Where else do they keep this setting? I only have found it in Active Layout in extended dada
(entget (vlax-vla-object->ename(vla-get-activelayout (vla-get-activedocument(vlax-get-acad-object)))) '("*"))
The last pice of extended data is:
("PLOTTRANSPARENCY" (1071 . 0))
When i change it to 1
(setq layout(vla-get-activelayout (vla-get-activedocument(vlax-get-acad-object))))
(vla-getXdata layout "PLOTTRANSPARENCY" 'type 'data)
(vlax-safearray-fill data '("PLOTTRANSPARENCY" 1))
(vla-setXdata layout type data)
it stays there (extended data), but the setting in Plot dialog box doesn't change!!! And it still prints no transparency.
It takes to save the drawing and reopen it again to see the change.
The command -PLOT does not have this setting as well, so my options back to VBA or Lisp, but HOW?
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Continuous Dimension Lisp That Alternate Its Position
Jul 12, 2012Is there a lisp that will allow me to do a continuous dimension, but will alternate the dimension position from low, high, low and high? If there is no lisp already created, how to create one?
See Continuous dimension attachment for example.
I work at a glass and glazing company and this is how we dimension mullion width and DLO. See typical window dimensioning attachment for window elevation with dimensions.

Oct 7, 2013Is there a way to programatically set a visual style before a drawing actually opens?
We have some huge models and people seem to forget to change their visual styles back to 2D wireframe before saving and exiting drawings. Some models will crash on some workstations when trying to open in a rendered mode.
I found a lisp with a function that looked to set viewport visual styles. But it does not seem to be supported anymore. --> (vla-put-VisualStyle vport 1)

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:
node
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?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Use Of The Alt Key In A Macro

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Z Value For Points?
Jan 5, 2012I have a drawing that has 2D pipeline (only x and y, z value =0) and 3 topo contour lines ( with x, y and z vaules). I need to divide the the 2D pipeline into say 2000 points and then get the corresponding z values from the topo contour lines. I think it can be done by interpolating between the z values for the two apparent intersection points of the 2D line and the contour lines, the x and y values will be the same for the points that falls between these two aparent intersections. Is there any lisp out there that can do that.

I just want to select files and LISP program set the STAMP layer to ON or OFF value.
