I have created a Dynamic BLock, when I insert it I get the Block References itself error. I renamed the file to a different name than the block, I didn't get the error message, but the dynamic properties are not there.
View 8 RepliesI have a block that i want to insert several times and revised each one to be different to do this i would have to insert it and rename the blocks that come in and then reinsert i would like to insert and have a lisp explode the main block and rename the other 2 blocks with a suffix at the end depending on how many times its in the drawing... can this even be done? My original block name that will be first inserted is "BENT PULLEY NOTES" it needs to explode after i drop it in and then there are 2 blocks within that called "Bent Pulley" and "Bent Pulley DYN" that i was hoping to keep the names but add a number at the end depending on how many are in the drawing already...
here is a lisp that i have found... it would work if i didn't have nested blocks and only wanted the one block to be insert and not explode...
(defun c:Test (/ e i name Bname )
(setq e nil)
(command "_.-insert" "Drawing1.dwg" pause "" "" "")
(if (setq e (entlast))
[Code] .......
How can you edit the name of a block without using the rename command.
What if your drawing has over fifty blocks, and your chasing the renaming of just one block?
Would this be a script type solution.. ?
I have to batchplot a lot of drawings but before that i need to rename a block in every drawing. I want to get from ABC 123 to ABC_123.
this is my code right now for the part to rename the block.
(princ "-rename
" File#1)
(princ "b
" File#1)
(princ "ABC 123
" File#1) <---- here i get the problem.
(princ "ABC_123
" File#1)
This comes in the prompt:
Command: -rename
Enter object type to rename
[Block/Dimstyle/LAyer/LType/Material/multileadeRstyle/Style/Tablestyle/Ucs/VIew/
VPort]: b
Enter old block name: ABC
Cannot find block "ABC".
How do i include space and 123 in the princ?
I am using map3D 2012.
how to write a LISP that enable me to direct automatic rename multiple block name?
Example is i have 3 block names as " A123 " , " A728 " , " A003 "
When i activate the LISP, it will automatic rename the block name to be " CAD1" , "CAD2" & "CAD3", whereby
the word "CAD" i can change whenever i start to use it change multipld block name.
I wanna change my block name to attribute text value, any similar lisp code?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am working on a large project where a 3rd Party firm has turned over 100s of drawings that we need to get into our system. The problem is that they did not name their physical files properly. We have a particular numbering system for our drawings, the engineering firm did fill in our attributed title block properly and used our numbering system correctly within the drawing. However, their physical file name follows their format. We need to have the physical file name match the information in the title block to get into our system.
Is there a way to "Batch Rename" these files by reaching into the title block and then renaming the physical file to match the attribute?
I have to be honest, I may use AutoCAD 50 to 60 hours per week, but I am no programmer! I am just the go-to person here for AutoCAD whom is stuck trying to come up with a efficient solution for the project team whose engineering firm could not follow our procedures! I was hoping some sort of batch routine could take care of this problem for us instead of us having to individually rename each physical file one by one.
Is there a program that can rename a new file to match another file name (They are in 2 different folders)

Is there a way to rename browser nodes within a part in a similar way that the rename browser nodes tool works in assemblies? I am copying designs with derived parts, after copying the design I can see that the part files contain the correct links to other parts when I open the base component but they display as the old name in the browser which is not ideal.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a vaulted project with about 1000 parts in it and a subfolder within that that has about 250 parts in it.I am told that vault does not manage references outside the project scope as defined by the IPJ which in theis case is at that 1000 part folder level.
If I go to rename the folder with 250 parts in it, it takes up to a half hour. I am having trouble believing that vault can't do better than a half hour to manage the references of a subfolder of a project with 1000 parts in it, when only 250 parts are affected.
Also, I notice a secondary ipj file is created temporarily during the renaming. That ipj appears under an inventor folder under my docs. Can't see why it takes two ipj files to manage one project. Also don't understand why there should be a local ipj file active when I am renaming at the vault level. I am suspicious that this other ipj (named after my company name, indicating a purposeful act) is expanding the scope of reference management since its parent resides at the root Vault explorer ($) separate of the projecy ipj. Also takes way too long to rename individual files.
Is it possible to have Lightroom rename the source images according to my custom naming convention?
I just imported 278 photos and they are all correctly renamed within Lightroom however the source files retained the original Canon generated names. I want to rename them for backup/in case I ever decide to stop using Lightroom/etc.
I have created a dynamic block with a stretch, flip and rotate. Everything works great in its file. When I insert it in another file, the grips move but the block does not change.
AutoCAD 2014
Create a routine that looks for a block based on a portion of that block name, using a specified path or search path.
For example, block to search for is BLOCKABC123, so if someone inputs ABC or 123 as a block name, it will locate that block within that folder and inserts it into the drawing at a user specified location.
Ideally, if there is a check in that if it finds more than one match, then perhaps it flags or prompts you to choose 1, 2, or 3 option which block to use. But I can live without this special function if it requires too much time to code.
I accidentally included a file rename when I just imported a batch of several hundred pictures. I violated a rule that I teach my own Lightroom students, and that is to look carefully at the import panel choices before proceeding.
How can I correct this so that the files are named as they originally were? I know how to easily fix the filenames in Windows (using a tool called BulkRename, for example), but then I'd have to "find" each image one-by-one and correctly point to the renamed version. I tried selecting all the images and then using F2 to rename, but none of the templates allow deleting a portion of the filename.
P.S. Here is an example of what I mean:
ON CARD:
IMG_0001.NEF
...
IMG_0300.NEF
WHAT I RENAMED TO ACCIDENTALLY:
IMG_0001 {shot by John Doe}.NEF
...
IMG_0300 {shot by John Doe}.NEF

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have about 160-ish images I scanned in as .tif's (my scanner offers .bmp, .jpg, .png, and .tif for saving scanned images as) @ 300-dpi. I'd like to batch export them all to .xcf (for future working with) and .png (I know I could have chose png to start but I thought .tif would be the better choice as a first format). Is it possible to do this with a shell-script? I'm fairly certain I could concoct something to .tif -> .png using ImageMagick (I don't think it supports .xcf) but I'd like to use The GIMP for the whole process if possible, and I'd rather not do it by hand. As it is I'm going to have to figure out how to batch-rename (well, I know how I'm going to do it, a shell script, but how to write it is going to be the tough part for me) about 100 if the images to prepend a 0 to the file name (I started with a two-digit numbering system not realizing I had so many images and would like to keep all the names listing properly on FreeBSD).
Anyway, If such a shell export-to-xcf-and-png script is even possible (I really, really do not want to do this manually).

how I can get VBA to insert/redefine a block reference from another file into a block (of the same name) that already exists in the target drawing?
I've tried using the insertblock method but it produces a 'filer error' - As a bonus point, it'd would also be good to be able to retrieve the contents of the blocks collection in the source drawing in some clever way other than opening it (a bit like browsing using the design centre) ?

I'm having some trouble in AutoCAD LT 2009 with block files.
I need the blocks I create to be available to every drawing I create, but somehow, I'm doing something wrong because I can only access them from the drawing I created them in.
Q) A user will enter information for a new drawing into the Excel file, this will generate an autocad drawing (title block and attribute information) and fill in the title block based on the information in excel file.
OR
Q) a user will create a new autocad drawing from the new templates and fill in the title block. This information will automatically fill in the Excel file.
It's the part of project: I need read some named Blocks from a sample DWG and copy (clone) them (one at a time) to a new drawing.
There are 2 possible way to do it:
1. Database.Insert - it does allow you pass in location point but it takes whole DWG file not blocks inside the whole DWG;
2. Database.WblockCloneObjects - it takes blocks as parameter but it doesn't pass in with location information you want them there.
