GETPAT.lsp needs dwgprefix handling

Recommended Posts

In the Netherlands some bright people can up with the idea to standarize the national standard with custom hatch patterns. I never understood this because it only leads to .. welll.., a whole lot of custom made (not standard) .pat files in use. ..Go figure.. :? GETPAT.lsp is a good tool to obtain these missing .pat files (sender forgets them 9 out of 10 times). However, it can be made much better if it was able to write the .pat files in the current directory. I was trying to find somebody clever with lisp who could fix this in a decent fashion. Good for profiling lisp for yourselfs :)

 

Hope it's ok to link this url to Autodesk forum. That's were google send me too..

I've modified mine to save the pattern definitions to a Customization folder on the network that's been added to the Support Path so they're easily accessible to the hatch command in any drawing.

I also modified it to work on a pre-selected hatch so I could add it to the hatch right-click menu.

 

Best thing about lisp code is that it's easily customizable to suit our needs. Less than a third of the code I use was created by me. While I've modified much of the code I've downloaded I keep the Author's header and the link to where I got the code in appreciation of the work they did so I didn't have to.

I also recommend Tee Square Graphics RRL.lsp, but GETPAT.lsp is their best.

Nice idea. Doesn't work with Revit dwgs missing decent mapping. The problem with that it that FP_ are likely to be different for every single export. One addition question 'Save to support path?' To do both.

Not familiar with Revit. For AutoCAD as long as it's in the Support File Search Path it's available to the Hatch command. You could easily add a vl-file-copy if you want it in current directory as well.

Modified version to both save it in the same location as "GETPAT.lsp" and the current drawing folder.

"GETPAT.lsp" must be in both the "Support File Search Path" and in "Trusted Folders" for it to both find the file and have permission to run it.

GETPAT.LSP (c) 2001 Tee Square Graphics
   Version 1.01b - 1/22/2002

This routine may be used to extract hatch pattern data
from existing drawings when the .pat file containing
the original information is not available.

After loading the file in the usual manner, type the
command GETPAT at the AutoCAD Command: prompt, select
any (non-SOLID) hatch object, and the pattern information
will be written to a .pat file having the same name as
the pattern (e.g., pattern information for the hatch
pattern WOODS will be written to WOODS.PAT.

Ver. 1.01b includes two small fixex to eliminate "Bad
Argument" LISP errors when run with certain installations
of AutoCAD 2000+.

Modified to use a prselected hatch and place in both the current
location of "GETPAT.lsp" and the current drawing folder by Tom Beauford.

Add command with macro: ^P(or C:GETPAT (load "GETPAT.lsp"));GETPAT
to CUI => Shortcut Menus => Hatch Object Menu
