AutoCad 2D :: Dropdown List On Block?
Sep 9, 2012
I would like to add a drop down list to a block.
Background: We use the same block (symbol) to represent several different part numbers, but would like to select from a drop down list the actual part number. For example, a beacon symbol is the same no matter what color the beacon, but i would like to be able to select a grip and choose red, green, blue, yellow, ect. I don't want it to do anything to the block, but rather just store the property that is set by the user.

I have created a Textbox with autocomplete (suggest) in my UserControl that is put in an Autodesk.AutoCAD.Windows.PaletteSet. When I move my mouse over the dropdown list with the suggestions from autocomplete the list disappears. This makes it impossible to select a value from the list with the mouse. If I move the mouse cursor anywhere else in the usercontrol except over the dropdown list it stays open. How can this be fixed???
PS! I have added an event handler on textbox.focuslost and it is activated when I move the mouse over the dropdown list, so the textbox loses focus when this happens.

Is there a way I can write some code, so that in idw, I can choose from two different text for "Description" in BOM table? My work place requires to show material information when it's a fabrication drawing, to show part description in assembly drawing in "Description" column.
At the moment, we just override material information (for example, 40x40x3 RHS) to part description (RHS Spreader). It's not very safe to do that. Most of the times, we just forget to change it.

Just downloaded Photoshop CC with Photoshop CS6 still installed on my computer. Why working in Bridge I noticed that when right clicking on an image and then the "Open With" link, the only thing showing up is Photoshop CC. It would be nice if CS6 was an option as well. Is there any way to set it so that both are available?
Also, how do I install my Neat Image plug-in in Photoshop CC?

Since installing CS4, there is a new item in the dropdown list when I
right-click on my desktop
The new item is "Adobe Drive CS4". It has two items showing under it. They
are "Connect to", and "New Project". The "New Project" is greyed out, even
when Photoshop CS4 is running.

In the properties drop down list for wall type selection, most of the different wall type are not showing. Also my elevation carmera is not showing when i click on a new drawing. In a previous drawing all walls selection type is there and the elevation camera. Only when i start a new drawing when wall type and elevation camera is missing. I check the interface to make sure the boxes are check.

Is there a way in .net to add the layer description field (viewable in the Layer Properties Manager menu) to the layer dropdown list? Our designers want to see this information without opening the Layer Properties menu.

I am learning autolips and i found a problem that i can´t solved.
(vl-load-com)(defun c:pmb ( / ss ent pt )(prompt "
selec block : ")(setq ss (ssget '((0 . "INSERT")))) (setq ent (ssname ss 0)), (setq pt (cdr (assoc 10 (entget ent)))) (command "point" pt))
wich this code you select one block and insert one point at insert point´s block.
which this other code yo select all block and insert all point.... but in one block
(vl-load-com) (defun c:pmb11 ( / sele cod bloque nbloque lista pt ) (prompt "
block: ") (setq sele (ssget ( List'(0 . "INSERT"))) Cod 0 )cod (1+ cod) (repeat (sslength sele) (setq bloque (ssname sele cod)) (setq pt (cdr (assoc 10 ( entget bloque)))) (command "punto" pt) );repeat )

I am using Autocad 2007 I made several blocks with att. And I use this drawing and copy it to the samples/design center folder so that I can see the blocks that I created on the Design center window for use on different other drawings.
My problem is that if I make a cange on the ORIGINAL block drawing how can I update the inserted blocks on the other drawings? I try to delete the block from the local drawing insert block list (is this possible?) to paste the block again with the new changes, but somehow even when I grab the new modified block to inserted again when I do it, it takes the shape of the old version!

Imagine you have 2 objects that you always use them as a combination(like bolt and nut) and each of them has different types. I made dynamic block for each one with a visibility list and put the variation of each in that visibility list and select the one that I need from the visibility list for each and then put them together.Because they always line-up in a specific point so if you can have a 1 dynamic block with 2 visibility list you can work easier.

I have created a generic title block for all my drawings and I have some attributes for the block. Is it possible to have a drop down list for an attribute so I do not have to type in the value/text each time? If so, how?
I want to be able click on 'customer 1' or customer 2' ect. and not have to type it in the attribute.
I'm using Autocad 2011.

Is there anyway to move attributes up or down on the list of a title block? I like everything for Rev 1 to be together (Drawn By, Checked By, Approved By, Date, Description, and Rev Number)...However, i was in a hurry and skipped Approved By. Once i added it, after the entire title block was done, it moved it to the very bottom on the list. Is there a way to "Move Up" so that it's with the other Rev 1 group?

when I insert a block with attributes I get the prompts on the commandline to fill in the attributes. Can I stop this from happeneing, and just insert the block?
Alternatively, can I get the Attribute Editor dialogue box to come up instead?
Sidenote: How hard is it for people to learn that blocks need to be INSERTED not copied - if you copy the blasted thing the attributes are messed up, why is that so HARD?

I'm new to .net for autocad, but very familiar with c#. I studied some samples about creating a block from c#. I have a form for some basic input. When the user presses OK the code checks if the blockname is already in use. When no it creates the block using following
private void make_block() { double nextpoint = 0.0; double linedis = 7.3634; Document doc = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument; Database db = doc.Database; Editor ed = doc.Editor; using (Transaction tr = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()) {
[code]......
The code runs successfully (meaning i don't get any errors), but when I want to insert the block it isn't in the list of blocks.

I want to make a price list, using attributes in block and then extracting them to cell matching some cells with excel
While in data extr wizard for some reason I cant get the size column to set in ascending order.. Why does size 10 brake the logic?
Can I edit the extracted data without launching data extr wizard?
Data extr wizard brings a data in one table what if I want the table to display other types of attribute ( example see pic for instance instead of EL i have SS no problem until now, but my matched data link in excel is for EL and not for SS)
Its hard to explain Basicly i selected the column in excel for one type of attribute "EL" and I want fo a different name of same attribute different cell matching.

my job is to make an editor for blocks in C#. There should be a WPF-window were the user can see a list of blocks. He selects one and than he should see an overview about block attributes like insertionpoint, basepoint, rotation and scaling and he should be able to edit these attributes in this form.
I know how i can populate a list of block names, but I fail at finding an opportunity to edit these attributes.
I get the blocktablerecords, but then?

I've spent the last week and a half creating blocks that have between 2 and 10 visibility states in order to represent the separate iterations of common valves.
I would like to construct a lsp and dcl (we work off of a network drive that would enable a stable location for an accompanying dcl file along with the base lsp, though I believe that in order to do what I'm wanting done some on-the-fly dcl manipulation may be necessary) that would display the current drawings in our dynamic block folder and upon selection within the first List_box, would display the different options for visibility states for the block in the 2nd list_box. After a user selects one of the visibility iterations that are now displayed in the 2nd list, an image preview (or slide, I can handle creating the different slides for each block once if required) of how the block will be displayed in the selected visibility state would be shown in what would be the 3rd space, this time an image preview and not a list_box, though I would like proportionality between the list_boxs and the image preview. Some white space is allowable in the list_boxes.
I'm not even sure if this would be possible, but I'm assuming you can access the different visibility states in the same manner that you could access polyline verticies or block definition attributes.

BLOCK REFERENCE Layer: "TWC Dim"
Space: Model space
Handle = 27879
The above result from LIST > 'Last' ... gave only the above result.
We have a project... granted, the requirement is to model 1.6 million feet from world origin... I know that AutocAD can have issues with this... and we have certainly had issues on this job that can be attributed to this... BUT WHAT ABOUT THIS ISSUE?
When anything is INSERTed into this drawing file, or from this dwg file... it doesn't seem to show up... no command line errors, no OFF or Frozen layers, no objects Isolated, no indication at all that there was a problem... except that nothing showed up.
This was used to find the issue. List the last object added to the database. Then paste to original coordinates (NOT PASTE AS BLOCK)
Command: list
Select objects: l
1 found
Select objects:
[Code] .....
No more info.. no block name, no Handle, no Insertion point x,y,z... no scale factors, none of the normal info that should accompany the BLOCK REFERENCE LIST output.
Several Audits were done, and Recover... this reported fixing Invalid Block Refs... we even rebuilt the dwg in a blank dwg file... but still object INSERTed with this same behaviour.

I am trying to generate a plant list or plant legend in autocad 2004. I have block references that I have created that have block attributes such as qty, plant name and size. I know in other software drafting you can generate a plant list or parts list, but can't find the method in autocad either in help option or in my autocad book.

I am currently working on making a template for the whole company that would allow all the divisions to use dropdown text in the title block to pick the division, and then the drafter and the person it was checked by. How to get a dropdown text into mtext. Currently I have it so that one office, the one I am in, can scroll through the divisions and the people who work here, using a combination of macros and fields.

I have a list -
(setq List1 (list "Line A" "Line B" "Line C"))
I would like to add each item in an existing list to a new list -
(setq ListNew (list "This is some text" "This is more text"
the following is the part I can't figure out - it just adds the list to the list, not the individual items
(mapcar '(lambda (x) x) List1)))
I am looking for ListNew to be - (a list with 5 strings)
"This is some text"
"This is more text"
"Line A"
"Line B"
"Line C"

We just updated to 2013 this morning, and my macro isn't in the drop down (All Application Projects and Active Documents) menu like they were in 2012.
I haven't been able to find it when searching either. I created a test macro, and it showed up: C:Userscad1AppDataLocalTempUserProject1.ivb
But still is not in the dropdown in the macro menu. I'm using the same project that I had in 2012.Did installing 2013 remove/write over my maco? I imported my preferences this morning, they seem to be fine.
