AutoDesk Inventor 2012
I am trying to replace multiple instances of a multiline text entity throughout several drawings and can’t seem to find a good way to make this come to fruition. (must use carriage return to differentiate between other instances of the text) ie
Replace:
Name
Location
Date
Vs
Replace:
Name
I need it to replace the text in the instance that has multiple text lines, and not the name where the text is on it’s own. I have seen mention of using “u+000A” as a carriage return in older versions, but I can’t get it to work.
In AutoCAD Architecture 2012 (AutoCAD 2012) I want “Entire drawing” selected by default in “Find where:” in “Find and Replace Dialog Box” instead of “Current space/layout”.

If I have a folder containing 10 Autocad files, I want to open every file in that folder, while in each file, search for a certain line of text and replace that text, then close that file, open the next and find/replace text in that file.
I've created an autolisp file that allows me to open all the files in a certain folder, but I can't find any way, either thru autolisp or scripts, to allow me to find and replace text in each autocad drawing without using Autocad's "find" command to manually enter the text when each drawing is open.
I want to setup the autolisp file to accept input up front, save the "old text" and "new text" to variables, then use those variables as the lisp routine is running.
This version was used to automate creating PDF files. The command 'PDF' is a command from another Lisp file.
I have manage to do a "find and replace" text no problems. However it cannot see that i have text inside a power clip. is there a way to find and replace text in power clip? also look at all pages at the same time? rather than per page?

What I need is to find a certain text, make corrections on the drawing (not in that text) and click NEXT to jump to the following text with the same content. Constantly opening and closing commands takes lots of time.

how to add the 'Enter' or 'Return' key using find and replace on mtext? If you look at the properties of mtext you see a P for a line return (or 'Enter') but if you type P in your find and replace it will replace it with '\P' which will actually show you a 'P' in your mtext. how to get a hard return?

So in 600 drawings 20 different texts, change in MTEXT, TEXT and ATTRIBUTES
I am wondering if there is any way to 'find & replace' a carriage return; specifically to add one in. I have figured how to take it out.
the reason I want to do this, is because 'tcount' will increment, by the amount specified, for each line of mtext; I have multiple lines of 2 line mtext, and I want to 'tcount' one number in the first line of each instance of mtext.
Now, I know I can do it manually, and in fact I would have had it done almost an hour ago if had, but this issue crops up every now and again, where if there was a fix or work-around to the 'tcount' issue (such as somehow inserting a carriage return) my efficiency could be increased.. for example I could get through renumbering 30 instances of 2 or 3 line mtext across 15 different drawings..
I have to revup a heap of drawings by modifying the drawing block of each drawing (simplying changing Rev C to a different letter ) and adding in todays date. Is there a quick way i can modify all drawing blocks without opening and modifying each drawing manually? Unfortunately, the drawings are all standalone and dont reference an external drawing block.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn autoCAD 2013 i have a sequence of multiple text fields e.g. (MP01, MP02, MP03, MP04..etc) i need to alter the numbers to other numbers. I used a command a few months ago but i cant remember what is was called! It selected the x/y direction and incremented the existing sequence to my chosen sequence (just incrementing the last numerical bits and leaving the text the same). Ive tried TCOUNT command and i couldn't get that to work with the text fields.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe standard AutoCAD Find & Replace dialog doesn't seem to work on a dynamic block's visibility states. I have quite a few blocks with 8-10 visibilities in each one that I need to change.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI having real difficulty finding a lisp that will find and replace blocks. There are plenty out there and AutoCAD 2013 and lower has a Find and Replace Blocks. However, the frustrating catch is I can seem to find a routine that will allow me to replace only those blocks that I select with a selection set of my choosing. The built in function replaces all of them and will not let you exclude some. We have PID drawings that we want to replace valves on, but not all valves. We don't want to rename. We don't need to BEDIT the existing block.
1) Pick group of blocks
2) specify a new block that will replace all instances of old block
3) replace inserted block with different block. Leaving others alone.
I'm thinking this should be easy, but my search has failed. The blocks in question are not dynamic or attributed either.
I have a “PART” block with attributes tags “PARTMARK” and “SHEAREDFROM” inserted 5 to 10 times in 10 to 50 drawings.
The “PARTMARK” value is always a unique number entered in autocad.The “SHEAREDFROM” value is calculated in Excel and exported to a “SHEARED.txt” file.
In each “PART” block I need to replace the “SHEAREDFROM” value based on the unique “PARTMARK” value, using a script that uses (or incorporates) the values from the “SHEARED.txt” file.
So far the only solution I’ve come up with is having a unique value for the “SHEAREDFROM” and –attedit to change the values in a script. However if the script doesn’t encounter a "K20-1S" in the first drawing it errors out and doesn’t proceed to the next. Below is an example of my rudimentary script.
(command "-attedit" "n" "n" "PART" "SHEAREDFROM" "K20-1S" "K20-1S" "8-60x192")
(command "-attedit" "n" "n" "PART" "SHEAREDFROM" "K20-2S" "K20-2S" "2-60x144")
(command "-attedit" "n" "n" "PART" "SHEAREDFROM" "K20-3S" "K20-3S" "2-60x132")
(command "-attedit" "n" "n" "PART" "SHEAREDFROM" "K20-4S" "K20-4S" "4-60x120")
(command "-attedit" "n" "n" "PART" "SHEAREDFROM" "K20-5S" "K20-5S" "0.7-60x120")
I’m assuming I need LISP to do this, but my LISP skills are limited. I think I would need a setq for each unique shearedfrom value (setq K20-1S (“8-60x192”))? Then somehow search each drawing for the unique shearedfrom value to replace.?
how I could open an external .CSV file which is assigned to a variable called INFOFILE and scan line by line and replace each instance of the string "WIDGETTE" with the string "WIDGET"? I assume the function vl-string-subst woud be involved.
