LWeight of Layers

Hi

is it possible to change all Layer's LWeights in a drawing to a specific LWeight ?

Thanks

Michaels

(vlax-for x (vla-get-layers (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object)))
 (vla-put-lineweight x lw)
)

Hi

Actually I am receiving the following error when I use the code;

vlax-get-acad-object

the error message.

; error: no function definition: VLAX-GET-ACAD-OBJECT

Regards

(vl-load-com)

yahaa

I did use before, but the same message.

Hey guys,

FYI, I added an extra post to this thread to help with repetition

yes as I have mentioned before, I did use to actually added the (vl-load-com) at the top of the codes.

Thanks

So you are using all of this code and still get the error message?

(vl-load-com)
(vlax-for x (vla-get-layers (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object)))
 (vla-put-lineweight x lw)
)

If so, what version and language of AutoCAD are you using?

I found when I first installed a new CAD, you had to manually type '(vl-load-com)' at the command line to load the VL functions, then subsequently put a call in your ACADDOC.lsp - but maybe that's just me.

Exactly .

I am using Autocad 2010, and I do not know what do you mean by Language in here, But I am dealing with Lisp

all the time , no VBA is used at all .

Thanks.

I do not know what do you mean by Language

What Language AutoCAD?

(English, Spanish, French, etc.)

I did not get your point well, and I still affraid to enter the ACADDOC.lsp file, due to unablility to solve any problem may take a place later on.

and by the way, Where should I insert that function (VL-LOAD-COM) in the ACADDOC ?

Thank

I am sorry for misunderstanding. I am using the English version.

FWIW - We've never had to load in manually. Loading it from a file works OK.

I know that this thread was posted in the Customization section, but wouldn't the whole process be much simpler with the built in Layer Properties Manager.

Folk are being spoilt with all this Lisp and are forgetting the basic AutoCAD

I meant just typing (vl-load-com) at the AutoCAD Command line and pressing enter, then trying the function.

As for the ACADDOC.lsp, anywhere. Probably best at the top.

The main issue of the matter not to know how to make it manually in Autocad, and when you getting forward in programming you are not

gonnal use or depend on Autocad manual tools.

Sure for a single drawing, but using the GUI is not possible if you are writing a script to process 10, 100, 1000, or more drawings.

And if this is something you do a dozen times a day (because you are working on drawings from others for example), then clicking a toolbar button with this code behind it is many, many times quicker than messing with a dialog box.

So can we go back to the main issue Please Gents. ??

Thanks

It doesn't hurt anything to load it multiple times, but (vl-load-com) only *has* to be loaded once per session, so it could go at the top of "acad.lsp".
