Certainly not raging, it would help if you tell us what program you are actually using, all versions of Autocad inc Autocad LT can use macro's, if you are using something other than Autocad (this is the Autocad forum you are posting in) then how do we know which commands ARE available to you? Please help us so we can help you. The file you originally posted was certainly last saved by Autocad and I received no notificartion that it was not a genuine Autocad dwg which normally happens when other programs have been used to create a dwg.

This question is posted at another forum and was there not an answer provided ? I think Autodesk/forum

Add "Insert Dynamic Block" to Existing Lisp
BIGAL replied to Jim Clayton's topic in AutoLISP, Visual LISP & DCL
Have a look on Lee-mac.com for dynamic block routines for updating from a lisp. Just insert as per other post. Your welcome to use Multi getvals.lsp its a library routine for multiple input via a dcl. You can have from 1 to say around 15 entries. Multi GETVALS.lsp -

We are not raging, we are trying to show you alternatives. Have you tried to use the command Stretch? However, you have happened upon the command Scale, which appears to be most efficient for your usage.

Strange Excel Data Link Text Issue.
AutosoFreely posted a topic in AutoCAD 2D Drafting, Object Properties & Interface
Hello, Product: AutoCad 2020.1 Windows: 64bit Recently, a strange text issue has been cropping up randomly. We use Excel data table inside Autocad drawings. On the Excel where a - (dash) is typed it sometimes comes up as a box in Autocad when data links are updated. Formatting for the page is globally set the same. In Excel: In Autocad: On copying the 'box' and pasting it into a multiline text box the contents on properties is rather messed up. Anyone know why this is happening? Better yet, anyone know how to fix it? Thankyou. -
Rotation of block Through Excel

That's weird. My code works for your drawings and csv on my pc. -

Try this routine. (defun c:test (/ csv opn rtn str bkn) (and (setq csv (getfiled "Select csv file" (getvar 'DWGPREFIX) "csv" 16)) (setq opn (open csv "r")) (while (setq rtn (read-line opn)) (setq str (_peelstring rtn ";")) (and (tblsearch "BLOCK" (setq bkn (nth 3 str))) (entmake (list '(0 . "INSERT") (cons 2 bkn) (cons 8 (car str)) (cons 10 (list (distof (cadr str)) (distof (caddr str)) 0.0) ) (cons 50 (distof (nth 4 str))) ) ) ) ) (close opn) ) (princ) ) (defun _peelstring (string del / str pos lst) ;; Tharwat - date: 07.Oct.2015 ;; (while (setq pos (vl-string-search del string 0)) (setq str (substr string 1 pos) string (substr string (+ pos (1+ (strlen del)))) ) (and str (/= str "") (setq lst (cons str lst))) ) (and string (/= string "") (setq lst (cons string lst))) (reverse lst) )

AutoCAD History - when did it become windows compatible?
RetroCAD replied to chulse's topic in AutoCAD Museum
Yup. I have the 5.25” version and it runs pretty darn well. -
Greetings all - I am on the hunt for an Nth Engine graphics card. This is a video that provided hardware zooming for AutoCAD 2.5/2.62/9. The model I had connected to the monitor via 5 BNC connectors. If you see or know of one, please let me know!

Great! If you end up getting it 3D printed, come back and post some photos in the Showcase section. And let us know what printer you use. -
Add "Insert Dynamic Block" to Existing Lisp

There are multiple ways to accomplish this. (defun c:somefunc (/ ds) (setq ds (getvar 'dimscale)) (command "insert" "block_name" "_scale" ds "_rotate" 0 pause) (princ) ) -

What happened to answering my questions? What software are you actually using? When was it released? Is it an actual Autodesk related program?

ok, I'll read it, thanks

In a previous post of yours you state that you cannot use a macro or lisp. What is the exact name of the program you are using and when was it released? A macro defines the action that should be performed when a user interface element is used. An example of a simple macro would be: ^C^C_.circle \1 This macro, when invoked, would draw a circle with the radius of 1. Macros can be written using an ASCII text editor like Windows Notepad for instance. Another example would be: ^C^C_erase single. This macro terminates the current command and invokes the Erase command in single selection mode. For further information see this article by Autodesk entitled "About Command Macro". https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad-lt/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2019/ENU/AutoCAD-LT/files/GUID-D991386C-FBAA-4094-9FCB-AADD98ACD3EF-htm.html

I don't know exactly the meaning but I use an alternative Cad based on Autocad OEM

cant convert my objects to 3d solids
Bodo replied to Bodo's topic in AutoCAD 3D Modelling & Rendering
thickening with a negative value worked, thanks a lot, guess there's no need to extrude anymore. -
You can use macro's in every version of CAD. What program are you using?
-
Hi eldon, at this point I use the scale command... Hi steven-g, with my version of cad I can't use lisp e macro... however if there is no direct command or snap it is useless to rage, I thought there was ... thank you all

rkmcswain replied to chulse's topic in AutoCAD Museum
Same here, at least for production, and we didn't jump on R14 til probably mid '98 once R13c4a proved to be stable. We fooled around with R13 on Windows, but it was soooooo slow, it wasn't an option for real work. -

Cad64 replied to Bodo's topic in AutoCAD 3D Modelling & Rendering
If you want Thicken to thicken towards the inside, use a negative value. I didn't have any issues with the sides extruding. Can you post a screenshot so I can see what parts are doing this?
