AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Xref Reactor Object ID To Xref Name
Oct 2, 2012
I am using (trying to anyway) a :VLR-xrefSubcommandReloadItem reactor. My only question is how to get the xref/block name from the 'reactor callback data' Object ID.
I am ultimately trying to pass it to (vla-get-xrefdatabase ....), but I cannot figure out how to turn the second parameter from the reactor callback data into something I can use - for example the second parameter returned may be "65" or some other number.

Is it possible to run a lisp which can extract all the xref names, make a layer with that name and then change the xref on the layer? I have got a similar routine from earlier posts but it doesn't work if any xrefs inserted in paper space (works fine on model space). could change this routine allowing to change the layer of xref in paper space too.
(defun dxf (i a) (cdr (assoc i a)))
(defun c:lxr ( )
(setq ss (ssget "x" '((0 . "INSERT"))))

I think there is a function that will cause the selected object that is in the XRef to highlight.

I use the following code to assign a reactor to an object.
Now I noticed that if I close the dwg file after you successfully saved, when I open even if I load the lisp, the reactor does not work.
Another problem: when I use the command "erase" or "explode" the reactor is started twice, why? you can run it at once?
(setq marReactor (vlr-object-reactor (list (vlax-ename->vla-object oggmar)) "TEST" '( (:vlr-erased . reactor_upd) (:vlr-modified . reactor_upd) ) ))

how can I check whether an object has a reactor connected?
I wrote the following
(defun c:**** (/ ogg collegaReactor) (setq ogg (car (entsel))) (setq collegaReactor (vlr-object-reactor (list (vlax-ename->vla-object ogg)) "NOMEAPP" '( (:vlr-modified . testedit) (:vlr-objectClosed . endedit) ) ) ))(defun testedit (notifier-object reactor-object parameter-list / ogg collegaReactor) (alert "testedit"))(defun endedit (notifier-object reactor-object parameter-list / ogg collegaReactor) (alert "endedit"))
If I start two or three or more times the "c:****" and select the same object, when I changethe "alert" appear several times.

I open the drawing without loading the function, when I modify an object with the reactors appears the following error message:
function definition: NAMEFUNCTION
You can avoid this annoying message without removing the persistent reactors?

Does Object Reactor has an owner size limitation?
when the owner size is big (about 1000) trying to disable the reactor (vlr-remove ReactorObj) causes AutoCAD to crash right on spot.

I am looking for some mleader customization.Basically looking for a mleader that will add an objects name(in my case an xref or block) in the text. Attached is a picture of our current process... nothing special. basically instead of typing in text we use the insert field. In the field dialog that opens we select "object" under Field names, then under object the type button is pressed to select object(in my case and xref or block) then under property the "Name" option is chosen. This will insert the xref name in the multileader. This is not terribly hard but am curious if I can automate and save some steps.

I'm new to the programming thing, and this one has me stumped. We have a problem with people accidently dragging xrefs. The simple solution would be to put all of the xrefs on a locked layer, but I was vetoed on this suggestion. I've been trying to figure out if I can write a lisp that will do one of the following: Give an alert if an xref is moved.Not allow an xref to be moved.Tell the user when they open a drawing that an xref is not at 0,0,0 insertion point.

This lsp was passed on to me from a colleague but he doesn't know where he got it. It does a useful procedure of placing each xref, residing in the drawing, to a unique layer. The layer name is derived from the xref name. I would like to edit this to take only part of the xref name. This system I work with requires all files to have the job number as a prefix eg LE1399901_Contours.dwg, so the xref name would be LE1299901_Contours by default. I want to remove the first 10 characters to be left with "X_Xref-Contours" layer name using this code.
(defun dxf (i a) (cdr (assoc i a)))
(defun c:lxr ( / ss cnt xrs en ed bn xp xbn )
(setq ss (ssget "x" '((0 . "INSERT"))))
(setq cnt 0)

what i would like to do is rename (externally) and repath about 4-8 xrefs in a drawing set of about 100 drawings.
you may ask why? it is because we are trying to establish a template set of drawings for a civil design office. and when we start a new project, copy over the drawings to the relevant project folder, change the project number, run the script across the drawings and go from there. I've also tried this using the reference manager, but it doesn't work when you change the name of the xrefs (loses association)
basically i know if i could use a lisp i would run it using autoscript or something equal. All i need is to figure out the code to change the project number in the xref
for example
current - "xxxx-PN009999-aaa-00-survey.dwg"
change to - "xxxx-PN001234-aaa-00-survey.dwg"
from my research so far, the easiest way is to make a lisp with the following
-rename
b
xxxx-PN009999-aaa-00-survey
xxxx-PN001234-aaa-00-survey
-xref
p
xxxx-PN001234-aaa-00-survey
c:acadcivildummyfolderxref
If this is the correct code, do i have to rename the CAD xref files in explorer first?

I have the following code that works, most of the time. Actually, it works or completes itself all the time, but there is no "all encompassing" measures incorporated.
All of the reference entities, believe it or not, are on layer "0". There are also some consistent layers, that you can see in the code below. However, a user may create or even remove any layer in the reference drawing. Therefore in my current drawing, I may have layers that are not frozen in the xref.
Like i said, the following code works, but not all encompassing.
(setq filename "7102-002-950 UC10-03")
(setq FreezePRD (strcat filename "|_PRD"))
(setq FreezeSLD (strcat filename "|_SLD"))
(setq FreezeBORDER (strcat filename "|0_BORDER"))
[Code] ........
I guess what I'm looking for is to freeze all layers that begin with "7102-002-950 UC10-03|".

I need a routine that will duplicate the current sheet's Layout tab and content to the next tab, set it current, delete the titleblock (by name) on the new tab and reference in a differently named titleblock, 1:1, 0,0 onto the new Layout tab. I'll be running this in a batch script.

I have a Lisp that I have been working on with some folks in the office, and i feel like i am close, but i am not getting the cigar. The idea would be to have the lisp allow the user to select a nested x-ref entity, and change the color and linetype of the selected layer, similar to the old "LAP" command (I know it is a dinosaur, but I still miss it). I seem to be doing swimmingly, code I have quasi-plagiarized. It seems to crap out where i try to pass the selected linetype back to the layer. I get the nastygram "Command: ; error: no function definition: GETLINETYPE" right after selecting the linetype from the dialog.
Code below...
x(defun c:CX (/ Sel EntList DataList cnt Num ClrNum EntData)
(if (setq Sel (nentsel "
Select object to change layers color and linetype: "))

I am trying to write a LISP that does the following:
-Open drawing
-Saveas as NEW drawing based on certain criteria from DCL menu
-Deletes old drawing
-*THEN, if drawing contain attached IMAGE FILE (.tiff in my case)
-Rename image file and repath image file based on the new file name
I have gotten it to do all of this, except I can not figure out how to change the "reference name" of the attached image file (.tiff)
Is this read-only data? I can manualy change it under xref manager, so there should be a way to do it via code...
The closest I have gotten:
;;after renaming and repath image file...
(SETQ NAME2 (substr (getvar "dwgname") 1 (- (strlen (getvar "dwgname")) 4)))
(setq item (vlax-ename->vla-object (entlast)));convert to vl object
(setq check (vlax-property-available-p item "Name" T));check if the entity can be updated
;if it can
(if check
;change value to match
(vlax-put-property item 'Name NAME2))
'Name seems to be valid w/ xref'd blocks but not xref'd/attached image files..

I have used Autocad since 1991, and my current job required me to use Microstation. One feature I liked from Microstaiton is the ability to select and open an external DGN reference, and then match the view of the parent DGN. In AutoCAD, you can also select and open an xref, but the DWG opens to the previous saved view, and not to the desired view that matches the layout.
My thought was to experienting with lisp or scipt and export the "Viewctr", "Viewtwist" and "Viewsize" variables to a text file, then importing the text file and using the "Viewtwist" as my "SNAPANG" value, then "Viewctr" as my "ZOOM, CENTER" value, and finally the "Viewsize" as the "Enter magnification or height:" value.
But, alas, have no time, and not quite the knowledge to duplicate MicroStation's open-xref-and-zoom-to-view feature.

I am looking for an alternative to in place XRef Edit.
The third party software I am stuck with has disabled in place editing an Xref.
The specific application I need is to allow the user to move an intelligent room tag that is XReffed into discipline specific models. Disciplines are Architectural, Mechanical, Electrical..Etc. Each discipline has their own room tag and needs to move their own tag to a location that can be clearly seen on their finished plot. Xref edit in place is the perfect tool for this..But since the third party has disabled the command, I need an alternative method.

Possible to link an xref layer and local layer so they display the same (eg. sync viewport colour, linewieght, line type)?
I insert xref's for my base drawing but legend is on local layers and I would like to be able to ensure that the line colour and linetype always match...

It is possible to cancel a command using visual lisp reactors. If this is not there another way I could do that. I tried to use UNDEFINE but it works only with own CAD commands and not with Visual Lisp command.

I use the following code to assign a reactor to an object:
(setq marReactor (vlr-object-reactor (list (vlax-ename->vla-object oggmar)) "TEST" '( (:vlr-erased . reactor_upd) (:vlr-modified . reactor_upd) ) ))
"reactor_upd" is the name of the function that starts every change or delete the object.
I would like to exclude the command "MOVE", ie if I move the object, I do not want that part to the"reactor_upd" function.

I have the following code to redefine a block after a command has ended:
(vl-load-com);*********************************************************(defun Redefine() (command "_.INSERT" "reactortest=reactortest" nil)(princ "Block redefined."));****************************************(vlr-command-reactor nil '((:vlr-commandEnded . endCommand)));******************************************************(defun endCommand (calling-reactor endcommandInfo / thecommandend) ; Get the name of the command.(setq thecommandend (nth 0 endcommandInfo)); Check name of the command.(cond ((= thecommandend "PLINE") (Redefine)));cond(princ));defun(princ)
It doesn't work because INSERT is an interactive function and can't be called while a reactor is active. Is there another way to redefine a block that can be used in a reactor? The block is in one of the default search path's.

I have created a very basic reactor as a test. As you can see, it doesn't actually do anything other than set a variable so I know the error isn't caused by something I'm doing with the reactor.
(defun np:test (reactor callbackdata / ) (setq abc 123))(if (not np:reactor1) (setq np:reactor1 (vlr-command-reactor nil '((:vlr-commandwillstart . np:test))) ))
OK, so the problem I have found is that if I load this reactor into a drawing and then use the MVSETUP command but escape out without completing the command, AutoCAD throws an error and becomes unusable. When I then close AutoCAD down I am met with multiple unhandled exception errors before the app finally closes.
I then altered the reactor from a vlr-command-reactor to a vlr-editor-reactor and found that with this, I am no longer met with the same error while escaping out of MVSETUP. However, when I close CAD down I am eventually left with an 'AutoCAD Application has stopped working' error dialog on screen which reports that acad.exe as crashed.
I am working on AutoCAD Architecture 2012 (although I have tried it on 2013 to with the same results) on Windows 7 64bit. I have also tried this on ACA2012 x32 and found the same error exists.
I am doing something fundamentally wrong in the way I am handling reactors?
