Those course (i.e. - project) files would only be available to actual paying students although if you were to search through the many threads re: Penn-Foster you could conceivably find individual project files students have posted copies of over the years. For example, the Oleson Village Project. What is your interest in the files?

You can turn the viewport off and everything in it will not plot. Frozen layers will still plot, you need to turn them off.

I think this is what you want. Command ATTT (vl-load-com) ;; ATTT for Add Text To Table (defun c:ATTT ( / rowstart obj texts i x x_vals x_vals_sorted) (setq rowstart (getint "\nStart Row (row 1 = the row of 000): ")) (setq obj (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (entsel "\nPick table: ")))) (princ "\nSelects the green title objects: ") (setq texts (ssget (list (cons 0 "TEXT") (cons 8 "TEXT-0.3")))) (setq x_vals (list)) (setq i 0) (repeat (sslength texts) (setq x (nth 0 (cdr (assoc 10 (entget (ssname texts i)))))) (setq x_vals (append x_vals (list x))) (setq i (+ i 1)) ) ;; sort the x-values (setq x_vals_sorted (vl-sort-i x_vals '<)) (setq i 0) (setq col 0) (repeat (sslength texts) (setq text (ssname texts (nth i x_vals_sorted))) (setq title (cdr (assoc 1 (entget text)))) (setq row (+ i rowstart)) (vla-settext obj row col title) (setq i (+ i 1)) ) (princ) )

If you just want to add to end of a table it is easy as there is a function of Vla-insertrow so just do that for the extra text you want I would look at a selection set. So can do in random order or some sorted list of the selection set. Could then read the entire table and resort it if required.

I think based on something Bigal wrote, link in the code. Command TEST (feel free to rename) - User selects the table - User picks the start row. Fill in 1 for the row of 000, Fill in 2 for the row of 001, ... (you can hardcode this (setq row 1) if you will always start with 1 - User selects the title objects, the green text objects "GENERAL NOTES 0" ... one by one ;; https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/visual-lisp-autolisp-and-general/user-text-to-existing-table-cells/td-p/12238012 ;;You can get tables using ssget. ;; ;;I just posted this, the 0 0 is the title, 1 1 is 1st cell in header (vl-load-com) (defun c:test ( / obj rows cols row col value_ cellvalue) (setq obj (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (entsel "\nPick table: ")))) (setq rows (vlax-get-property obj 'rows)) (setq cols (vlax-get-property obj 'columns)) ;; get value of a cell ;;(setq col (getint "\nColumn: ")) ;;(setq row (getint "\nRow: ")) ;;(setq cellvalue (vlax-variant-value (vla-GETCELLVALUE OBJ row col))) ;;(princ "\n") ;;(princ cellvalue) ;;;;;;;;;;;; (setq col 0) (setq row (getint "\nStart Row (row 1 = the row of 000): ")) (princ "\nNow select texts: ") (while (setq title_obj (entsel "\ntitle object: ")) (setq title (cdr (assoc 1 (entget (car title_obj))))) ;;So if you know where "REVISION" is row & column can check easy then use next to put values. (vla-settext obj row col title) (setq row (+ row 1)) ) ) Happy with this? We can quite easily let you select all the all the frames, and read all the Text objects on layer "TEXT-0.3", sort from left to right, ... then auto fill in the table If you want

I have looked everywhere for coursework cad files and haven't found anything. any help would be appreciated It tells you to go to 'X' file, but it doesn't exist.

Hello, Can anyone help me with my dilemma. I'm doing AutoCAD automation and I want a schedule to not shows at time but show at other times. The schedule is shown through a viewport. I have tried making a costume viewport layer for it and freezing it. But freezing the layer of the vp does not seem to stop what inside the vp from printing. So is there an option to link the viewport to what it shows so if I freeze the vp layer it won't print what it shows.

Hi All, This is just to let you know that we have recently had a problem with the validation of new user registrations. This meant that some people will not have been able to register for the forum. This must have been frustrating and I apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. The problem with the anti-spam controls has now been fully resolved and all visitors are now able to register. Thanks for your continued support, David

How to keep attribute's text horizontal (rotation =0) by dynamic blocks with alignement parameter ? i see a lot of info for keeping text horizontal by block rotation but not for block alignement.

Hi every one I need a lisp that adds the texts I select, to a pre defined table in Autocad. In the attached file, I need to select texts in the "DRAWING TITLE" part, and add them to the first column of the table. It would be great if the lisp, itself, can automatically select all of the mentioned texts and add them to the table. But if not, I can manually select the texts, and the lisp adds them to the table. Add Text to Table.dwg

@BIGAL, sorry for the late reply. Here's the property: \pxqj;all work and no play makes jack a dull boy; all work and no play makes jack a dull boy; all work and no play makes jack a dull boy; all work and no play makes jack a dull boy; all work and no play makes jack a dull boy; all work and no play makes jack a dull boy; all work and no play makes jack a dull boy; all work and no play makes jack a dull boy; all work and no play makes jack a dull boy; all work and no play makes jack a dull boy; See screen shot of the properties that shows this too along with how the mleader is left justified and not using justified paragraph. The editor is correct, but as soon as I exit, it displays as above.

This fake is worth more than two cents. The code works the way I wanted it to. Thanks! But I don't understand why I should drive carefully.

No, I mean the data returned by my (LM:arraydata) function - you just assumed you should use the length of the list, without actually checking what the list contains.

P.S.: This is just my two cents — though to be honest, it’s probably counterfeit

This is the first time I’ve ever done an “autopsy” on an object like this. I’ve carefully extracted what seemed to me to be the information I was looking for. So I must say: DRIVE CAREFULLY AND RESPECT ALL STOP SIGNS.

A relatively simple approach CivilTech.mp4

Consider the following function to obtain the data from the array: (defun LM:arraydata ( ent / enx lst rtn ) (if (and (setq enx (entget ent)) (= "INSERT" (cdr (assoc 0 enx))) (setq lst (vl-some (function (lambda ( x ) (if (and (= 330 (car x)) (= "ACDBASSOCDEPENDENCY" (cdr (assoc 0 (entget (cdr x)))))) (cdr (assoc 330 (entget (cdr x)))) ) ) ) (member '(102 . "{ACAD_REACTORS") enx) ) ) (setq lst (entget lst)) (setq lst (cons nil (member (assoc 1 lst) lst))) ) (while lst (setq rtn (cons (cons (cdadr lst) (cdar (cddddr lst))) rtn) lst (cdddr (cddddr lst)) ) ) ) (reverse rtn) ) Call with the array block reference entity, e.g.: (LM:arraydata (car (entsel)))

If you inspect the DXF data for a rectangular array (e.g. using my Entity List program, for example), you will see that it is in fact a block reference (INSERT).
