I'm trying to create button with macro to edit existing text in place, with predefined text with macro .... For example, existing text is "Old text", and I want this text (or whatever I select) to edit in place with click on macro button to change it to "New text".
View 1 RepliesWe use AutoCad to name our dxf files for our Burn Table and whenever we get a new part it is a repetitive task to input layers and common text. So what I am curious is can AutoCAD input the layers and text automatically using a Macro?
I want the Macro to put in 6 layers and choose the layer color and title then input text boxes with word in 3 different layers. There will be about a total of 10 different text boxes with text already put in the boxes by the Macro.
After starting my previous thread "What formula will work to achieve this result" I decided to post this new thread because I have changed my mind and will now be using the external Excel file that the "Extract Data" creates to do my calculations.
Here's what I would like to do: create a Macro [button] in Excel with the following conditions:
*
Sample of excel spreadsheet:
*
MANUF NoSUB No.DESCRIPTION** UNIT QUANTITY
A123494456TYPE A, XXXX XXX * * * * EA** * * * 45
A423520374YA1AM, XXXXXXXXXX * **EA** * * * 55
A148231375TYPE B, XXXXXXXXX * * * EA** * * * 33
A146151725A1AAM, XXXXXXXXXX * * EA** * * * 67
A135621873TYPE A, XXXXXXXXX * * * EA** * * * 24
1. * * * CONDITION #1:
IF "DESCRIPTION" TAB ["C" COLUMN] CONTAINS "TYPE A" AS PART OF TEXT/DESCRIPTION, TAKE THE "QUANTITY" TAB ["E" COLUMN] SPECIFIED ON THAT PARTICULAR ROW AND DIVIDE IT BY 20, ROUNDED UP TO NEAREST ONE.*
2. * * * CONDITION #2:
IF "DESCRIPTION" ["C" COLUMN] CONTAINS "TYPE B" AS PART OF TEXT/DESCRIPTION, TAKE THE "QUANTITY" SPECIFIED ON THAT PARTICULAR ROW ["E" COLUMN] AND DIVIDE IT BY 10, ROUNDED UP TO NEAREST ONE.
3. * * * AUTOMATICALLY SAVE THE EXCEL FILE AFTER THIS MACRO HAS BEEN UTILIZED.

View 2 Replies View RelatedFor several years I've been programming in Inventor and AutoCAD, with VBA. Making macros and creating a button for them in the toolbar of Inventor is no problem. What disturbs me slightly is that the name of the button is the same as the name of the macro. In VBA you can't create functions with spaces in the name. So the name of the toolbar button often looks quite silly.
Is there a way to change the name and the tooltip-text of the toolbar button without loosing the link to the original macro? In AutoCAD this is no problem, but Inventor...

I recently found this lisp routine which changes dimension text from the actual measurement to EQ.
(Defun c:equaldim ()
(setq newdim (entsel "
Select Dimension to Replace
with EQ.:"))
(setq newdimvalue "EQ.")
(command "dimedit" "n" newdimvalue
newdim "")
(princ)
)
I would like to be able to do the same in 2013 LT using a macro. All efforts to write a macro have failed because I don't know what controls the Text Override.
Is there a way in inventor if you have an existing pipe route to create a new pipe run and place that existing route into the new run.

Can I modify an existing viewport in a macro or in the command line?
Using a macro, I want to modify (specifically delete) the viewport from a layout tab after chspace from model space.
I have LT so no LISP. qselect works but cannot be put into a macro.
If I "select all" on a layout tab in paperspace ACAD says 1 of the objects selected is the viewport so I know autocad recognizes the viewport as a different kind of object.
I'm trying to create an all new existing surface over existing ground. I have a TIN surface of the EG, and I have drawn overlay splines that describe the new surface, but how to go about creating that design surface.
It is a compound surface, open on one end and closed all around on the other, somewhat like a half of a football stadium, but with an irregular upper edge because I am needing to figure out cuts and fills to manipulate the EG into this new surface without costly major terraforming. There is about 40-50' vertical elevation between the "field" and the upper rim with a generally constant 7-10 deg. slope all around. I'm just at a loss to figure out how to approach this project, and am quite new to Civil 3D.

We have certain registration marks that we use on our designs before we print to vellum. How to be able to write a macro that could do the following? I've attached an example image of where we place the registration marks and am also attaching the actual registration mark CDR file. I'm assuming this would probably be rather simple...
We'd like this registration mark to be centered to the image and placed on the top and bottom of the image at .25 inches away from the image itself. So, I would think the macro would have to select the entire image on the page, then decide where .25 inches is away from the top and bottom of the image and place the registration mark, centered in that area.
And in the 157 page Macro PDF (really, did it need to be this long? How about an easy-command sheet), it says you can use the key command Ctrl+Shift+R to start recording... Well, that brings up the ruler.
I use Macros a lot in Excel (I record the commands that I want, then tweak in the editor), so I get how they are supposed to work - but I'm no programmer, and without the ability to record, I'm completely handcuffed. This really shouldn't be 1% as difficult as it has been
When saving an AutoCAD drawing there is a Thumbnail image saved (if you have the option turn on), but when the command "Edit Xref In-Place" is used there is no Thumbnail image saved. So now when I try to preview any drawing that has been edited through this command there is no longer a thumbnail.
I am using AutoCAD 2012 and the option to save a thumbnail is turned ON.
I am trying edit an Xref in place in a sheet file both through the paper space view port or within the sheet file's model space but receive a pop-up warning that states "Selected Xref Block is NOT editable". Other sheet files are set up the same way and allow edit Xref in-place.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have some blocks that I want to use to make a drawing. In the attached dwg, there are a few blocks inserted, and a shape made from those blocks.
As they stand, I can send the dimensions of each block into an excel spreadsheet or into a table. However, as you can see, if I want to make that triangle look like a triangle, I need to edit the blocks themselves. I'd like to edit each block in place (even though I'll have to create a new block for the edited version, that's okay), and still be able to reference the length of each block in excel.
If possible, I'd also like to figure out how to reference the angle into excel, so that when I look at the excel table, it tells me that I need that piece of material, cut to that length, with that angle.
I use refedit quite a bit to edit blocks in-place, but can't find a way to do this with dynamic blocks without breaking the link to the original definition and creating a new block definition.
Is there a setting I can change, or another way to edit a dynamic block in-place?
