Generate Lot/Polygon Data to table Help. Mr. Lee, pBe, BIGAL. Need help once more.

I have an attached dwg here. I want a list routine that will extract the lot's (from mother lot to sublots) bearings and distances just like in the dwg. The tables will be inserted one by one like mother lot first, then sublot-a then sublot-b and so on. (also the bearings and distances from the reference point to the different corner 1) Thank you so much. I really need this routine to finish my study. I've read tutorials and blogs, but still can't get it right. Hope that someone can help me. thanks.

heres the dwg. sorry forgot to attached at my first post.

..I really need this routine to finish my study. I've read tutorials and blogs, but still can't get it right.

Show us what you have now, and we will guide you, but you have to write the code on your own. How s that sound?

makimaki,

Here's one I did a while ago. You will need to adjust

the constant value at beginning of program.

Also need to modify for bearing use.

Probably you can use a lot of the stuff in there

and then customize to your taste.

dt.LSP

As a starting point for you makimaki

(if
     (and (select Text)				; "Ldx_Data"			entsel / ssget with filter
          (Pick Start point))				; To determine Point nos 1 	getpoint
     	(progn
     	(while  (Pick Next point [ Start point ])	;				getpoijnt
             (distance SP NP)				; Value for distance		distance
             (angle SP NP)				; Value for Bearing		angle
             (convert distance to string)		; For table 			rtos / strcat
             (convert angle to string)			; For table 			angtos
      (replace "d" with "%%d")			; vl-string-subst
             (pass the values to a list)		; cons / list
             )
          (Pick Insertion point for table)		;				getpoint 
(Insert Attribute Block for Lot Title)			; Native insert command / Attreq
       [Values: from (select Text) ]			; cdr / assoc / entget
(Insert Attribute Block for LINE/BEARING/DISTANCE)	; Native insert command / Attreq / polar
       [Values: from (convert distance to string) 	; variable
	      (convert angle to string) ]	; variable
       )
     )
     

Start writing the code

@makimaki

How did it go with the coding? Any progress? Or are you wanting a more "automagically" routine? MY goal here is to guide and teach you the basics of writing a code. We can give you a more complex PSEUDO CODE [or a working routine ] but the point here is, we want you to learn like everybody else [ well not really, there are still users here that posts I WANT.... / I NEED... even after a hundred or posts under their name ].. Hope you are not one them

Dont be bashful, go ahead and asks away......

Cheers

pBe

@ymg Thank you for the code you posted.

@pBe. don't worry master, I totally got your point and Im grateful of your suggestion. Im quite busy right now because Im writing a manuscript about my thesis though I started making the code but it is still not finished. I'll post it ASAP. Thank you again master pBe.

Thats he spirit makimaki

Go for it, and show us what you got. Holler if you need help

Good luck dude

Problems encountered that I don't know how to solve.

1. For the Boundary: I can't generate the format of the table as seen in the file help.dwg. In this lisp, I can only make a table that shows "Technical Description Column", then "Lines Bearings Distances column" and then the "DATA Column". This is because this lisp follows the default format in tabulating data into a table. I want the table to be generated to be like in the help.dwg file. Column 1 = Techincal Descriptions; Column 2 = LINE BEARING DISTANCE; then column 3 the word "BOUNDARY", then column 4 and beyond, the DATA.

2. For the sublots: Same problem as with the boundary. I can't format the table the same as in the help.dwg

3. I don't know how to change the degree sign from "d" to "o".

I really need your help master pBe. my time is running out

PS. Yes you are right, I'm learning a lot because of your suggestion and Im very grateful for it. Thank you so much master pBe.

makimaki

I have now the code master pBe. It really took time.

Good for you Makimaki, you wrote this code by yourself? I have to say i'm impressed.

I was thinking you would start from vanilla and use block insertion instead you use ACAD_TABLE.

 

1. For the Boundary: I can't generate the format of the table as seen in the file help.dwg.

I guess you meant "ROW"

I do not see in your code where you prompt or retrieve via selection the name of the LOT, you may need to add that.

 
[color="silver"](vla-settext atable 1 2 "DISTANCES")[/color]
[b](vla-InsertRowsAndInherit atable 2 0 1)[/b]
[b] (vla-settext atable 2 0 "WHERE YOU GET THE TITLE") [/b]    
[color="silver"](setq row [/color][b]3[/b])
 [color="silver"]   (foreach item  table_data[/color]

3. I don't know how to change the degree sign from "d" to "o".

Look into (vl-string-subst "new" "old" str)

I also notice on your "help.dwg", you are using a leading "0" for single digit i.e "05" number. Are you planning to incorporate that? and how?

PS. Yes you are right, I'm learning a lot because of your suggestion and Im very grateful for it. Thank you so much master pBe.

Funny you said that, as i dont see any resemblance to the pseudo code i posted

I'm happy to help

Hello Master pBe. I've been really busy lately, sorry for the late reply.

Honestly, the code I've posted was not originally all from me. Ive researched tutorials and forums related to my topic, combined them and specify it into my own.

1. Problem 1 has been solved master pBe. Thank you so much.

2. For Problem 2, I don't know how to generate a table just like in help.dwg for sublots. It should look like this:

l SUBLOT NAME l ==============> ROW 1/ Header

l 1-2 l Data for Bearings l Data for Distance l ==============> ROW 2/ Data Table

l 2-3 l Data for Bearings l Data for Distance l ==============> DATA/ table

and so on . . . . . . . .

Note: As you can observe in the code ive posted. The "while" function is at the start of the routine, I am planning to transfer it after the table of the mother lot or the "boundary table" has been generate so that the codes for generating the table for the sublots should go again and again until all sublots has been tabulated. I already know how to do this master pBe, my problem now is that I don't know how to format my table just like in help.dwg.

3. I still don't know how to change the degree sign. Can you show me the solution master just like what you did in solving problem 1 before? Thank you so much again master pBe.

More power!

regards,

makimaki

Ok makimaki, enough of the "master" thingy

2. That is why i suggested using blocks instead of ACAD_TABLE. it is loads easier to code for a newbie Tell me, do you still want to continue with ACAD_TABLE? My next suggestion will depend on your answer. [item #2]

3. vl-string-subst

(setq ang (vl-string-subst "%%d" "d" (angtos ang 4 2)))

But then again, do you need the leading "0" for single digit value "S 075d29' W"

hello pBe.

for #2. Maybe I'll take your suggestion about using blocks. Please do help me because using blocks, I have totally zero knowledge Thanks pBe.

for #3. funny, I was experimenting last night and fortunately I got it right. We have the same code. hahaha.

Yes, I need the leading "0" for single digits. (i.e. : S 7d29' W would turn to S 07d29' W ; S 23d9' W would turn to S 23d09' W. I don't know how to do that. Thanks in advance pBe for the help.

makimaki

Wait a minute makimaki, you're tricking me into writing the code for you

What about the TITLE [what will be the source for that? prompt and/or select?

Wait a minute makimaki, you're tricking me into writing the code for you

 

What about the TITLE [what will be the source for that? prompt and/or select?

Hahaha. you got me. But I really need your help. I don't have enough time, the defend of my study will be in 3 days.

Selecting a text would be better for the source of the title. Remember the code you helped me for Lot and Sublot Numbering? The user would select the Lot or Sublot number to serve as the source of the title.

Thank you so much again pBe. Don't worry, I'll include you in my acknowledgement and even show/upload you my study so that you will know how much you helped me. THanks again sir pBe.

Thank you very much sir pBe. Just finished converting your dwg files to 2010 via true view because I only have aCAD2010.

1. I'm a little bit confused by your routine sir. First, it will ask me so select or prompt a name for the lot name, after that it will ask me to select points of the boundary, after I clicked enter, a block attrib dialogue box will appear and ask for the name. I don't how it works. Or this is happening because I have 2010 aCAD.

2. Is this routine independent or should I combine it with the first code? Thanks for the help sir pBe.

oops.

Figure out what makes the dialog box appear when insert command prompts for attribute values Makimaki. and include that on the code

as for this line from the original code

(command "cecolor" "bylayer") change it to (setvar "cecolor" "bylayer") [

poor thing me. I really don't know what to do sir pBe.
