Extract AutoCAD Text (Not Attributes) from a block insert


muck

Recommended Posts

Is there a way to extract text to a variable that is embeded in a block by picking the text in a block insert.

 

I am not interest in extracting attributes. I am looking for something

that will extract autocad text (not necessary Mtext). Just AutoCAD text.

I would look at something extracts mtext from a block.

 

 

 

I am looking for something in Lisp, or VB.net or C# net. I Guess any programming language

usable with AutoCAD.

 

Any solutions to this.

 

Thank you,

Here is an old one by Lee-mac, I created a two line text block

 

; by lee-mac
([color=blue]defun[/color] get-block-entities ( blk [color=blue]/[/color] ent lst )    [color=green];; Define the function, declare local variables[/color]        ([color=blue]if[/color] [color=green];; If the following returns a non-nil value[/color]        [color=green];; i.e. if the block exists in the drawing[/color]        ([color=blue]setq[/color] ent ([color=blue]tblobjname[/color] [color=maroon]"block"[/color] blk)) [color=green];; get the BLOCK entity[/color]        ([color=blue]while[/color] ([color=blue]setq[/color] ent ([color=blue]entnext[/color] ent))            [color=green];; Step through the entities in the block definition[/color]                        ([color=blue]setq[/color] lst ([color=blue]cons[/color] ent lst))            [color=green];; Construct a list of the block components[/color]                    ) [color=green];; end WHILE[/color]            ) [color=green];; end IF[/color]        ([color=blue]reverse[/color] lst) [color=green];; Return the list[/color]    ) [color=green];; end DEFUN[/color]

 

I then did

 

(entget (nth 0 lst))
((-1 . <Entity name: 7ffffb4cd60>) (0 . "TEXT") (330 . <Entity name: 7ffffb4cd20>) (5 . "129EE") (100 . "AcDbEntity") (67 . 0) (8 . "DEFAULT") (100 . "AcDbText") (10 -0.930106 -5.26808 0.0) (40 . 2.5) (1 . "bbbb") (50 . 0.0) (41 . 0.7) (51 . 0.0) (7 . "hfs_simplex") (71 . 0) (72 . 0) (11 0.0 0.0 0.0) (210 0.0 0.0 1.0) (100 . "AcDbText") (73 . 0))
; look for assoc 0 is "Text"
