LISP to add predefined Suffix to dimension


K Baden

Recommended Posts

Good morning!

I have not had any luck in finding much that my novice LISP skills can fix up to suit my needs. Perhaps someone here has something laying around?

 

I am looking to have a LISP that does the following:

allows the user to select one or more dimensions

Allows user to pick from 3-4 options with the underlined letter being what the command needs: (XHM), (THR), (YJM), and (CPA)

Then add the user selected string as a dimension suffix to the selected dimension.

 

We add suffixes to dimensions often, and there are several different ones we use daily. Just looking to save time by having a command that will add the selected string to the suffix.

 

Does anyone have anything similar? I am able to do some editing to suit my needs, but I don't even know where to start with editing a dimension suffix via LISP.

 

Thanks in advance!

Few ideas at: http://forums.augi.com/showthread.php?129908-Text-Override-in-Dimension&p=1127451&viewfull=1#post1127451

I use Alan's DQE.lsp, you just have to modify the values in the line

(setq lst '("<>" "± VIF" "EQ." "± VERIFY"))

Mine is set to

(setq lst '("" "Easement" "<> R.O.W." "Varies" "<>\\XVaries" "<> Varies" "<>±"))

" R.O.W." adds the suffix R.O.W. to the dimension.

Here's a function you can use. Wrap it into your code with the options you want.

(defun _putsuffix (e suf / o)
 (if (and (= 'ename (type e))
   (vlax-property-available-p (setq o (vlax-ename->vla-object e)) 'textsuffix)
   (vlax-write-enabled-p o)
     )
   (vla-put-textsuffix o suf)
 )
)
(_putsuffix (car (entsel)) "CPA")
