AutoCAD .NET :: Extract All System Variables
Oct 14, 2011I was wondering if there is any way to dump out all system variables with current value in a text file. One way would be to have the variable names already preset in a list of strings then extract them. But is there any other faster way? I need to compare some drawings side by side.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD .NET :: Saving UCS Using Current System Variables
Dec 12, 2012Using the VB.NET example code on exchange.autodesk.com for Defining a User Coordinate System, I pretty much copy and pasted the code to suit my needs. While the example shows how to create a UCS origin, X Axis and Y Axis from scratch, I am attempting to simply cast the values from the system variables UCSORG, UCSXDIR and UCSYDIR. These system variables are read only, and when looking into the types, I believe they are all 3D Point type values.
I'm experiencing errors when trying to run the following code, and it's making me wonder whether what I'm attempting to do is possible. The JIT Debugger is pointing out a System.InvalidCastException. Is there a problem with setting a Point3D value (from the system variable) to a Vector3D type (which is required for defining a new ucs)?

AutoCAD 2013 :: How To Manage System Variables
Oct 2, 2013We have six CAD machines in our office (not including several versions of LT), and only one machine "AutoCAD 2013" is having this issue:
ATTREQ & ATTMODE keep changing to undesirable values.
We generally use "ATTREQ 0" and "ATTMODE 1" and NEVER change these except "ATTREQ" gets changed in some LISP routines depending on the insert, but "ATTMODE" had to be looked up because we never change it from 1.
I know that there is no reference to ATTMODE anywhere in our customizations.
Does AutoCAD try to manage these system variables? Is there anything else that I can check to stop this?
AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Use Macro To Set All System Variables In Drawing
Jan 29, 2013When I create a new dwg, I use a macro to set all the system variables in the drawing - ltscale, hatch scale, etc. I also use the setq function and define a few new "variables" in the drawing. For instance I use setq to define a variable I call "sf" and set it equal to 72. Everything works great and I do my work and close the drawing. Next time I open the drawing, all my custom variables no longer exist. I have to use redefine them all over again. Is there a way to get these custom variables that I create with setq to stick with the drawing permanently - so I do not have to redefine them every time I close/open the drawing?

Jun 28, 2013My 2011 AutoCAD LT for Mac just started randomly changing the trim, fillet, and extend variables. I looked on other posts and learned how to change them back to the default settings. Since then they keep changing back every few minutes.
Specifically, the TRIMMODE keeps changing from 0 to 1, and the fillet trim mode keeps changing from TRIM to NOTRIM. One of those settings seems to make the extend command also not work as expected. I've been using this AutoCAD install on this particular Mac for over a year. The only recent change is an upgrade to OS X.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Deployment Of Registry-Saved System Variables
Jun 10, 2013My company is in the process of upgrading to AutoCAD 2013 (yes, I know 2014 is out, but IT won’t let us get the most recent because of fear of “new release bugs”). My company is small and our CAD Standards/Management is less than desirable. Over the past few years I have become the unofficial company CAD Manager and have slowly been getting us up to speed with using the latest capabilities and following best practices.
An issue that I deal with constantly is a new user not having the correct registry-saved system variables set up. This also happens a lot because our IT guy frequently reinstalls AutoCAD to fix issues. Every time AutoCAD is installed/reinstalled, all the registry-saved system variables are set to their default values. We have several that need to be set a certain way to match our current drafting standards (a few examples: .bak files turned off, plot.log files turned off, advanced attribute editor turned on, plot area relative to edge of paper, etc, etc.). Typically, I will get complaints from users about something not working correctly, and then I will troubleshoot the issue and eventually find out that they just had their AutoCAD reinstalled and their system variables are not set how they should be. Then I will get out my list and have them set all the variable s properly via the AutoCAD command line.
I have read up on creating AutoCAD Deployments (and we will be using these Deployments for this upgrade), but there does not seem to be a way to set variables when creating the Deployment.
Finally, to complicate things a little more, most of our users actually use AutoCAD LT (so no Lisp), and only a select few (like me) have full AutoCAD. So, we will be creating two separate Deployment files as it stands (which is not a big deal).
Some of my preferred criteria for the solution:
-Solution can be used for both AutoCAD & AutoCAD LT (I’m okay with there being two separate system variable “deployment” files since we will already have two different AutoCAD Deployments. I would just like the procedure for deploying both packages to be the same regardless of whether it’s for LT or full version).
- Solution would be able to be applied to each workstation without opening AutoCAD on each machine (and ideally, it would all happen when the AutoCAD Deployment installer was run!)
Is there any current best practices for accomplishing this? (maybe by changing the registry through batch files, VBscript files, etc? Or using AutoCAD script files – however, this requires the program to be open to run, which I was trying to avoid).
AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic - Count Sheets Counts Excluded Sheets
Jun 14, 2012shouldn't sheets marked as "exclude from count" not be counted?
I tried this in both 2013 and 2012 to see if maybe AutoDesk broke it, but it doesn't work in either one. This is easily reproducible for me, a file shouldn't be necessary. Just open up (or create) a multi sheet drawing. Go to edit sheet on one or two of them and check the "exclude form count" box. Now create a new iLogic rule and put the following line into it:
MsgBox("This is the number of sheets in the drawing: " & ThisDoc.Document.Sheets.Count, VBOkOnly, "Number of Sheets")
AutoCad :: Dynamic Block Lookup Table?
Jun 20, 2011Ok over the past few weeks I've got pretty much most of the Dynamic Block stuff down except this feature.
I've attached a drawing. In the middle I used VISIBILITY to have all the different weld types. I need something at the end to where Weld Tails can be added if they're needed but you can only use one Visibility per block. I'm also going to need something at the front of the block for different symbols like "Field Weld" and "All Available". If I can figure the Tails out then I can do the other one.
AutoCad :: Create Lookup Parameter And Add All Of Necessary Parameters
Feb 22, 2012I am currently working in AutoCAD 2012 and have been creating dynamic blocks for a while now.What i am running into is this: When i create a Look up Parameter and add all of the necessary parameters (flip1, flip2, visibility and distance) to the block, it acts as it should. However, when i select the LH or the RH look up state the check mark defaults back to the "Default" state. If the "LH (Reversed)" or the "RH (Reversed)" state is selected, the check mark will stay on the selected state.
In AutoCAD 2009 i know that if you set the "Custom" look up state (found at the bottom of the look up window) to the first listed state, it will correct this issue. But in 2012 this is not the case.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Architecture :: AEC Schedule - Lookup Table For Different Manufacturers?
Nov 25, 2013So, I'm familiar with creating Property Set data and schedule styles and all, but I am having trouble wrapping my brain around the following, I would love to know how you tackled it in the simplest way possible:
I need to show a schedule for Windows and Doors, that will read the drawing or selection, and list all the door and window types. Now, that is not so bad, but there is a caveat that I can't get past.
We offer two or more Manufacturers for said windows and doors and are being asked to show tags on our floor plans that reference a table that says:
"For window type "1", ship either Manufacturer A - Part No. X, or Manufacturer B - Part No. Y
What I can't wrap my brain around right now is how to get Property Set data to know that "1" means both of those parts, and not one or the other. The way this is supposed to work, is for each of our plans we are to have only the types ("1", "2", etc.) that are currently shown on that plan, and if one of those windows or doors change to a different type, have the schedule update automatically.
I would prefer not to need to write a LISP or Vlisp that does this, but am open to using VBscript in the Property Set Data, I am just unsure of how to write that into a Formula.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Allow Properties To Vary From Lookup Table?
Jun 16, 2011Dynamic block is for a title block which can be horizontal or vertical and a few different positions.
My lookup table controls the orientation and position of all the items including a number of attributes. But for two attributes I have allowed a grip on the Point Parameters so they can be dragged left/right if there is not enough room when the text is longer.
I can reposition the attributes but if I reposition twice then the Lookup table resets to its "Unmatched" configuration which I don't want. I believe I have to have an "unmatched" setting and "allow reverse lookup" and at the same time I want the user to be able to customize the position of these attributes.
AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Lookup Tables And Visibility States
Nov 27, 2012This is my first dynamic block, and I am trying to make a pipe elbow that is selectable for pipe diameter, arc angle of elbow, AND radius of elbow. I got the diameter and the arc angle just fine, but I can't figure out how to do the radius of the elbow. I used a lookup table for the diameter constraints and I used my visibility state for the angle, seeing as I couldn't find a way to accomodate arc angles with a lookup table. What I'm stuck on is the radius bit.
I need to be able to select the radius or the elbow as either 1.5x, 2x, or 2.5x the diameter of the pipe. So for example, if I have a twenty inch pipe diameter, I need to be able to set the centerline radius of the elbow as either 40, 50, or 30 and then have the outside and inside radii fit proportionally. So in the case of a 20 in diameter, I would need one block with one variation that has radii of 30, 40, and 50, another variation with radii 20, 30 and 40, and yet another variation with radii 40, 50, and 60. I could easily make a reverse lookup table to do this for a single size pipe, but in order to do it for each pipe diameter I would need to be able to cross reference the other lookup table to pull the diameter value, and then have the radii respond to that value.
If this is even possible? And if it is not possible, how I could edit the arc angles with a lookup table instead of a visibility state? Because if I could do that I could use my visibility state to do the radii instead. My other options are to create a second and third dynamic block for each variation, or to add each individual radii variation to my lookup table. The latter of which I won't do because that is far too many options for a lookup table that already spans beyond the extents of my monitor. How I could accomplish all three of these tasks with a dynamic block.
Attached is the block as I have built it so far.

Since weld symbols are regularly used in my day to day work, i thought of making a dynamic block. I had zero knowledge of dynamic blocks at that time. I realized that its actually very difficult to make a type of dynamic block i wanted. So instead of breaking my head to create it, its better to downloaded it.

View 0 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Lookup Table Properties Value Returned Within Field
Aug 24, 2012I am unsure weather to post this in Dyn Block technical or Fields as it comprises elements of both.
I am trying to get a field to return a 'lookup properties' value...
Actually, what I am trying to do is use a field to display either a + or a - depending upon upon the state of a flip parameter.
How I have been trying to achieve that is by using a lookup table to assign:
Input Properties.....Lookup Properties
Not flipped........=............+
Flipped.............=............-
Then I'm setting a Field to look at the Object 'Lookup Parameter' and return 'Lookup Action'.
The field then displays '#########' when testing the block.
When I return to edit the field it complains 'the object referenced y the field has been erased'. Both the table and parameter are still there, so I don't know what the problem is. Is there a better way of having a field return a specific value based upon a parameter state?
