Someone just asked me about this command (BREAKUP) never heard of it, nothing on YT. I found this in the help file.. Is Explode not politically correct?

@CivilTechSource sure thing. I actually figured out the 'misbehavior' based on an earlier response (it was me being stupid of course). I would love to add another grip to this thing to move the magenta part up and down from either the top or the bottom of the magenta, and have the grips 'slide' with the thing. So if I move the magenta part up with the top grip, the bottom grip goes along for the ride. Then if I slide back down with the bottom grip, the top grip goes along for the ride. I've done that EXCEPT after one round of back and forth it started acting wonky so I went back to the single Move. When I say "bottom", I mean the grip that stays at the bottom of the magenta, not the bottom of the overall block where the Basepoint is. Obviously that starts at the same spot if the block has been reset (notice this one has NOT been reset), but once the magenta moves up, I want the Basepoint to stay put and the "bottom" grip to stay at the bottom of magenta. Seems like it should be so easy but I keep not quite getting it right. I'll see if I can find my last attempt before I went back to this single Move version, but this does have the color differentiated. Thank you jack2.dwg

I dont want to insert the calculations in table.I want to insert as mtext. And I want the calculations with the dimension of eatch polygon not by coordinates. Any ideas Thanks

Makes me think of AreaG from GP_: Maybe you can take some inspiration on the calculations in his code?

Can you highlight at a different color what needs to move up please that would help.

I am trying to write a diesel expression that will extract the first part of the drawing file name. Full Drawing File Name: XXX-ZINC-XX-XX-DR-C-01000_S278 Sections First Part: XXX-ZINC-XX-XX-DR-C- My question: Is there a smarter way to extract the first part rather than relaying on the number of characters? If everyone is following the correct naming protocol it would be 20 characters but sometimes you have people instead of -C- they put -CE- so I am wondering is there a way to future proof it. Thank you. $(substr,$(getvar,"dwgname"),1,20)

I have a code to calculate and write the area of close polygons. I want to update the code to support in calculations rectangular parallelepiped. The problem is that in trapezoid calculation is a bug and if i select a rectangular parallelepiped calculate the area as trapezoid. Can someone fix the code?

@CivilTechSource I'm looking to Move actually. I'm not really showing the cylinder that well, but the cylinder pokes out the bottom and pushes basically that whole box part upwards. Thank you for checking in on it though!

You should be using Stretch instead of Move. Move will just move your block and it will not extend it as you mentioned. Is this what you are after? jack.dwg

With ARX, you can use Brep or AssocPersSubentIdPE, the later is a bit simpler to use. AssocPersSubentIdPE will get you the faces, edges, and vertices of the solid. In the case of a cuboid, simply get all the edges and map them to a vertex In this example each vertex should be mapped to three edges. You could then build a transformation matrix so you can accurately compute the dimensions. It starts to get a lot harder with more complex shapes. There’s a few threads at the swamp discussing ideas how to work with I-beams, how to find the edge the run along the length for reference import traceback from pyrx import Ap, Ax, Ge, Ed, Db, command from collections import defaultdict @command def doit(): ps, id, pnt = Ed.Editor.entSel("\nPick it: \n", Db.Solid3d.desc()) solid = Db.Solid3d(id) pe = Db.AssocPersSubentIdPE(solid.queryX(Db.AssocPersSubentIdPE.desc())) edge_map = defaultdict(list[Ge.Curve3d]) for vrt in pe.getAllSubentities(solid, Db.SubentType.kVertexSubentType): edge_map[pe.getVertexSubentityGeometry(solid, vrt)] for edge in pe.getAllSubentities(solid, Db.SubentType.kEdgeSubentType): crv = pe.getEdgeSubentityGeometry(solid, edge) edge_map[crv.getStartPoint()].append(crv) edge_map[crv.getEndPoint()].append(crv) for k, v in edge_map.items(): for _crv in v: Ed.Core.grDraw(_crv.getStartPoint(), _crv.getEndPoint(), 1, 0) return

If you press enter with n3 the Z axis seems to keep pointing in the same direction, so this like works for me: (if (and (setq n1 (getpoint)) (setq n2 (getpoint)) ) (command "_.ucs" "_3p" n1 n2 "") )

Thanks! Code works fine, but I do prefer not to explode the solids. And the EVSD function has a problem with points snapping to the wrong position, adding "_none" to copy command might fix that. The link you posted mentioned the xedges command, which works quite well. Still prefer to do it without drawing or exploding anything, but this code works good enough for now: (defun solid->pts (ent / itm rtn) (setq itm (entlast)) (command "_xedges" ent) (while (> (getvar "cmdactive") 0) (command "") ) (while (setq itm (entnext itm)) (setq rtn (vl-list* (vlax-curve-getStartPoint itm) (vlax-curve-getEndPoint itm) rtn ) ) (if (entget itm) (entdel itm) ) ) (removeDuplicates (vl-remove nil rtn)) ) ; RemoveDuplicates - MP ; https://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=4144.msg49515#msg49515 (defun RemoveDuplicates (lst / index) (vl-remove-if 'RemoveDuplicatesSub lst) ) (defun RemoveDuplicatesSub (x) (cond ((vl-position x index)) ((null (setq index (cons x index)))) ) ) If anyone knows how to do it with the acis data, I would still love to hear it.

Hello everyone, I want to do the following briefly. I'll specify two points, and it will automatically find the third point, then rotate it on the Z axis. This should work in both UCS and WCS. ... (setq n1 (getpoint)) (setq n2 (getpoint)) (command "_.ucs" "_3p" n1 n2 n3) (command "_.ucs" "ZA" n1 n2) ...

Some more. Note the Lst is sorted as in the spagetti code, sort on description 1st then point number. ; groupby provided by Dexus (defun _groupBy (fun lst0 / itm old rtn) (while lst0 (setq itm (fun (car lst0)) rtn (if (setq old (assoc itm rtn)) (subst (cons itm (cons (car lst0) (cdr old))) old rtn) (cons (cons itm (list (car lst0))) rtn) ) lst0 (cdr lst0)) ) rtn ) (setq lst2 (_groupBy (lambda (e) (car e)) lst))

Just a out there way to get centroid, if you have a open pline then close it, use "Extrude" a height of say 10, then use "Massprop". Centroid: X= 0.388 Y= -3.101 Z= 5 Ok so choose the write to file option and read the centroid from the file, the sixth line. If you want the pline open then do a UNDO. Yes it will be a lisp, have used the write to file for concrete Tilt panels to mark the centroid.

thanks master

Ahh, that's my mistake, try this: (defun c:test (/ old_err EscVP StrScale2 TxtHt StrScale ss) (setq old_err *error*) (defun *error* ( a / ) ;; Add here return cmdecho to as it was, cmdecho 1 (princ "") (setq *error* old_err) (princ) ) ; End Error Defun (setvar "cmdecho" 0) ; perhaps record the state of cmdecho before here, and reset to that value at the end (if (and (setq EntVP (car (entsel "\Seleccione VIEWPORT: "))) (= (cdr (assoc 0 (entget EntVP))) "VIEWPORT") ) ; end and (progn (setq EscVP (vla-get-CustomScale (vlax-ename->vla-object EntVP))) (setq StrScale2 (rtos (* 3.5 (/ 1 EscVP)) 2 1)) (setq TxtHt (* 3.5 (/ 1 EscVP)) ) ; a number not a string ;; added this (setq StrScale (rtos (/ 1 EscVP) 2 2)) (setq vpnum (cdr (assoc 69 (entget EntVP )))) (vl-cmdf "_.mspace") (setvar "CVPORT" vpnum) (setq ss (ssget (list '(0 . "TEXT") '(-4 . "<>") (cons 40 TxtHt))) ) ;; corrected line ;;What are you doing with ss now? (Prompt (strcat "\nLa escala de La Ventana es 1/" StrScale)) (princ "\nLos textos de 3.5 en el interior de la ventana deben ser de: ") (princ StrScale2) ) ; end progn ) ; end if (setvar "cmdecho" 1) (princ) );fin defun

Maybe something in my post or the one of Lee Mac's I linked...

Thank you. I'll give it a try. Also found an interesting topic here that might help me achieve the kind of list I wanted. https://www.cadtutor.net/forum/topic/70713-add-itens-to-a-sublist/

Master I'm trying the modified routine and this happens...

@maahee It is not clear what you want to calculate. Please respond to the following questions. Should the program be able to handle lines? ... lwpolylines without arc segments? ... lwpolylinese with arc segments? arc objects? circle objects? If the open/close property of a polyline is "open" sould the polyline be considered a closed shape defined by a line segment from the last vertex to the first vertex? The code in your last post dows nothing if the object is not a line. If it is a line it adds a dim line but does not identify the "center".

Hello everyone, I'm trying to extract points/vertices from a 3D solid. The first way I tried was by exploding it into lines and arcs and then collecting the points. This works, but it is very slow. After that I found ACISdecode function by Kailas Dhage and used it to get some information about the 3D Solid. On a lot of 3D Solid it works and extracts the points correctly. But sometimes if I move the object, the point's inside of the ACIS data don't move. I'm trying to find where the transformation is stored so I can apply it to the exported points as well, but can't seem to find it. Code to export the points below, and an example drawing attached on which it doesn't work correctly. Hope someone can guide me in the right direction! (defun c:solid->pts ( / ent enx i rtn _acis) (defun _acis (enx / itm lin dxf str cha rtn) ; ACISdecode by Kailas Dhage (kailas@uts.com) ; Newsgroups: autodesk.autocad.customization 1999/05/10 ; Modified to work directly on entget data by dexus 2025/08/11 (while (setq dxf (assoc 1 enx)) (setq str (reverse (vl-string->list (cdr dxf))) itm nil lin nil) (while str (setq cha (car str) str (cdr str)) (cond ((= cha 95)) ((= cha 86) (setq itm (cons 73 itm))) ((= cha 32) (setq lin (cons (if itm (vl-list->string itm) "") lin) itm nil)) ((boole 6 cha 95) (setq itm (cons (boole 6 cha 95) itm))) ) ) (setq rtn (cons (cons (if itm (vl-list->string itm) "") lin) rtn) enx (cdr (member dxf enx))) ) (reverse rtn) ) (if (and (setq ent (car (entsel))) (setq enx (entget ent)) ) (foreach i (_acis enx) ; Princ result of the ACIS decode (princ "\n") (princ (vl-prin1-to-string i)) (if (and (equal (car i) "point") (> (length i) 5) (setq i (cddddr i))) (entmakex (list '(0 .

Very quickly.... code tag is <> , you used quote tag '' which makes reading your code harder You use sssetfirst as a variable - it is better practice to not use a command name also as a variable even if it works. for example: (setq sssetfirst (vla-get-activeselectionset (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object))) ) ;; A variable (sssetfirst nil (ssget "_WP" ob_lst_pt '((0 . "*TEXT,ATTDEF")(-4 . "<NOT") (62 . 4) (-4 . "NOT>")) )) ;; A command The next suggestion I would make for now is to separate out your code a bit - all good running lines together but while you are creating something go to simple programming methods, it often makes errors or bad code jump out: (sssetfirst nil (ssget "_WP" ob_lst_pt '((0 . "*TEXT,ATTDEF")(-4 . "<NOT") (62 . 4) (-4 . "NOT>")) )) could be (setq MySS (ssget "_WP" ob_lst_pt '((0 . "*TEXT,ATTDEF")(-4 . "<NOT") (62 . 4) (-4 . "NOT>")) ) ) (sssetfirst nil MySS) Next thing would be to add comments to the code especially if you are asking how things work, we can read through the code quickly and see the intent of how the code works Last thing, when asking for help - and we have no problem with that - give a clue what is not working as it should. I think that if you add comments to the code it should be clear what to change to make the colours also red. Perhaps one of you comments will be 'adjust text to size 3.5'... and that might be where you want to change the colour also.
