Say you launch AutoCAD, then run VLIDE.Then from inside the VLIDE, you go File>Open.....it seems to default to a different, random directory every time. I know there has to be some logic to it, and I want to set the default location, so I do not have to browse every time.
Years ago, I seem to remember how to set this starting directory, I just can't find that now.
how can i know if the current view/display is align with the current ucs?
let's say i have rotate the ucs about z axis 45 degrees and make it plan now i draw some things and then i change back to world
worlducs = 1
viewdir = 0,0,1
ucsxdir = 1,0,0
ucsydir = 0,1,0
but the display is still in the ucs z 45 (ucsfollow = 0) set the view to PLAN current (now the view is aligned) but the system vars does not change.
For a plan UCS, you would need to compare the VIEWDIR system variable and the cross product of the UCSXDIR and UCSYDIR system varaibles.

Technique that can check the current plotter name for the current tab and assign it to a variable? i.e. can it be assigned to a variable to check if if equals "myplotter1". The next step - is there a technique to change the plotter name to "myplotter2.pc3".
I have partially done the latter part of this in the past using the -plot command line to ASSIGN a new plotter but I would really like to only run the routine if it really needs to.
Where is this data stored?
Geo Location
Sun Source vector (I can see it in the "Sun & Location" Panel)
But how use this data.

How can I find them with lisp?
Tables do no have a rotation angle. I can find the insert point, but there is no other point to make an angle calculation with.

The first rectangle is drawn from 0,0 at the World Coordinate System. There is never any trouble with the code below when the objects are drawn at the WCS. The problem is when I try to draw a bounding box around an object while in another UCS. It seems that it always draws the bounding box at the WCS instead of my UCS. I have used (trans <pointlist> 0 1) on all combinations it seems and I still cannot get it to draw the bounding box at the current UCS.

I have the below code (from a user here on the forum) which works great for aligning text, mtext and blocks to 2 points. For annotative entities, it respects the rotation angle for mtext and text.
ie I have an mtext object at 1"=20' scale and at 1"=40' scale. I run the command when the current annotative scale is 1"=40'. The object at 40' scale has changed, but the 20' scale is unchanged. This is working as I would like it to.
But for annotative blocks, it gets weirded out. In the above example, the block at 40' will rotate, but so will the attributes at 20' scale. But linework and hatching at 20' scale will be unchanged. it looks really weird. how to get it to play nice with blocks. Ideally, I'd like the block to be at different rotation angles in different annotative scales.
(defun C:R2P (/ ss ang edata); = Rotate objects to align with 2 Points (setq ss (ssget '((0 . "*TEXT,INSERT"))) ang (angle (getpoint "

I am looking for an example excel macro to zoom to an object given the obect entities handle.

I downloaded a lisp routine that will align block attributes. The problem is I can only select the attributes one at a time. I'd like to be able select multiple attributes using the selection window or a crossing window, but I haven't had much luck. If you use the AEATTSHOW command, it give you a prompt to "select using window" by pressing W. I'd like to have the same functionality for my Align attributes routine.
Below is the portion of code I currently have to select attributes one at a time:
;* Select all attributes to align with the parent selected above and add the attribute entname and the block
;* entname to a list in format ( (AttrEntName BlkEntName) (AttrEntName BlkEntName) (AttrEntName BlkEntName) )
;*

I'm working with our new copy of AutoCAD 2013 and using the Visual LISP IDE to create code. I also have an AC2009 machine right next to me for other tasks. On the 2013 machine when I click the "Load Active Edit Window" button it switches to the console screen but there are no messages printed like:
$
; 37 forms loaded from #<editor "C:/LISP/My-Lisp.lsp">
_$
This of course is making it extremely difficult to debug. I have checked the environment settings and they are exactly the same on each machine. The AC2009 machine prints the messages but the AC2013 machine is just giving me a blank console screen.
I was interested in finding out if it's possible to write a LISP routine that would execute a pop-up dialog box say every 30 minutes. This is strictly for ergonomic reasons to remind the user to take a pre-determined break.
I am not an expert code writer by any means, but I imagine the routine would autoload and resetting the timer to 0 upon opening a particular drawing file. The LISP routine would then run in the background and run the (alert "") command when the timer reaches 30m 0s. When the user presses the OK button, the timer resets to 0 again.
I still want it to have its normal behavior while in a command, but when not in a command it still enters the selection mode, which does not work, but if it would enter a zoom window command, it might be a more useful command.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWe have a lisp routine that I co-authored ages ago and then haven't done much programming in about 7 years. I seem to have forgotten much of my language skills. This portion of the lisp routine was running fine in autocad 2005 which is what the computer had on it, and it doesn't run on autocad 2010.
I've narrowed it down to the while statement which is why you see it commented out, but that portion is necessary. My main question is was there a change in the language specifically the while statement between 2005 and 2010?

So i have almost 30 installs and my custom programs are working in all but this new install. Now when i pick on the tool palette that runs the program, i get a message shown in the attached png, then when i pick "OK" i get "Unable to load dialog box."
I've searched these hallowed halls but all the messages seem to point to 2002 versions of ACAD Map and i'm running plain AutoACAD (that came with Product Design Suite, aka Inventor.)
I have a routine that looks for an MText date stamp and replace the old date with a new date. The problem is some MText strings appear encrypted. Below is an example:

(1 . "\pxi-2.1818,l4.3636,ql,t4.3636;{\fSymbol|b1|i0|c2") is what I get when I extract the group code.
