It seems @Jesper Hedlund hasn't returned. If I am understanding correctly, the issue is with the program used to plot the layouts, it plots Model instead of the actual layouts CTAB value.

Worked fine on my home computer with AutoCAD 2000i, but I get the same as @PGia and @ronjonp on AutoCAD 2026 at work.

A CODE FOR DIVIDING OBJECTS WITH POINTS AS IN MEASURE AND DIVIDE COMMAND IN AUTOCAD BUT WAY MORE ADVANCED
darshjalal replied to darshjalal's topic in AutoLISP, Visual LISP & DCL
Inside the code there is explanation of the code function. The code does many functions that image can't explain. Kindly check the code and read the description inside. Regards. -

BIGAL replied to darshjalal's topic in AutoLISP, Visual LISP & DCL
If your offering something a good idea is to provide images or a movie about what the program does, else the "Why bother" will occur. Just attaching a lisp is not really describing why you should download the program. Think of it as if I was selling the program how would I get people interested. -

LT slow, have you looked at doing saves say every 15 minutes as a test, your undo may be coming an excessive size. What is your auto save set to ? We had like 15 minutes as the default. Another where is your "Temp directory" pointing to I have a SSD and normal drive and the ssd is so much faster when saving.

AutoCAD 2027 still has the bug:
-
Multiple tags updated with the same value.
Jeff Kiper posted a topic in AutoCAD Drawing Management & Output
I am a ROOKIE. So please take it easy on me. I've been searching and tried to replicate what others have said works for them with no luck. I'm trying to have 1 "MAIN" attribute that I am prompted to change the value when inserting the block. The other attributes "SUB1" and "SUB2" would update to match the value of the master. I have tried creating these attributes with the ATTDEF. I made the MAIN I then made the SUB1 with the Default a Field category OBJECT Field names Object Object type Attribute Definition ( which is where I can select the MAIN attribute) Property Value. I get the ---- in a Grey block I then select all 3 attributes and create a block with them. When I insert the block I get the prompt to change the value of MAIN and SUB1 & SUB2 have the ---- inside the grey boxes. The value of MAIN is updated but SUB1 and SUB2 still show the ---- Grey boxes. REGENALL amide no difference. I tried doing the same thing in the block editor and got the same results. I "ASSuME" it is just something easy that I am missing. If you can help that would be great. I have about 40 Attributes in 1 block that need to be updated with the value of the MAIN. -

Ouch. See what it does if you hit esc. or hitting the X instead of cancel.

Unexpected behaviour handling multiline attribute when inserting block with Lisp
Mr Whippy posted a topic in AutoLISP, Visual LISP & DCL
I'm writing a lisp routine to automation drawing revision in lisp. to replace a diesel version. I have come across a problem when inserting the block using lisp, in diesel it works perfectly. The block has four attributes, with the last being a multiline attribute. The routine stumbles at this point and misinterprets the pause for user input as \ and returns the error 'unknown command'. The diesel code that works is below. attdia;0;-I;REVNOTE;\;1;;P01;""$m=$(edtime,$(getvar,date),DD.MO.YYYY)"";SMS;First issue;;attdia;1;rea; The same in lisp below (command "attdia" "0") (command "_Insert" "REVNOTE" pause 1 1 0 "P01" Date Initials pause) (command "attdia" "1") (command "REA") Any ideas on why this is happening as i'm stumped, unless its a bug in AutoCAD. many thanks REVNOTE.dwg -
@rlx Your Kung-Fu is Strong! Nice work!

Updated first post , added a few new options and killed a little bug in the get-subfolders routine.

I’m using AutoCAD 2015. "boundary" is supposed to return a perimeter exactly matching the geometry surrounding the point specified to the command. I run the command using the option to identify boundaries by 'pick' on screen. I haven’t tried exploding the polylines into lines yet. I’ll give it a try, but I suspect the result will be the same.
-
Must be an AutoCAD thing works in BricsCAD. you could just join the other 3 polys and get the same effect.
-
So the problem is that the darker lines should intersect in the top square glyph instead of the next to the top square glyph? Which CAD are you using? When I run BOUNDARY or HATCH here in Bricscad V26 the boundary is always to the upper square glyph, not to the next to the top square glyph as shown in your drawing. What are the parameters you are using for the BOUNDARY command? Do you get the same error if you explode the plines before you run BOUNDARY?
-
I think I didn’t explain myself properly. The idea is to run "boundary" and click inside the largest closed area shown in the image. After checking the result — by zooming into the area indicated by the arrow — you’ll understand what the image in my previous message is referring to. I’ll attach a drawing. Boundary.dwg

Thanks Danielm103 if using mtext field, I am sure have seen get total count. I think count was in this Lee-mac program for layout number and count. https://www.lee-mac.com/layoutfield.html
-
https://lee-mac.com/polyoutline.html or https://lee-mac.com/advpolyoutline.html will outline a pline. https://jtbworld.com/autocad-hatchb-lsp willoutline a hatch. I can't tell what might be required to automate the process without a DWG of a full pline set or hatch set example.
-
sure it is, try $(getvar,"ctab") full field is %<\AcDiesel $(getvar,"ctab")>%
-
There is a field property Ctab, in my Bricscad V25 it is not supported, but it is in Acad. There is also pretty sure total We just did a simple lisp that walked through all layouts and updated title block attributes like "Page No" of "howmanysheets" updated the actual layout name we used like "DXX", handy when re-ordered layouts. pretty sure there is a total number of layouts field formula will have to find again.
-
No idea what the thick yellow line is ? If its a pline with a width then boundary is correct, it does not recognise pline thickness. I am sure there is ways to make a outline of the plines can then run boundary. If it's a hatch then can get outlines of hatch's then should be able to do a boundary.
-
You can generate the expression yourself; you can probably do this yourself with lisp. This is just a sample of generating the expression, but I can imagine it would be possible to set the field across all layouts. Caveat, it’s not automatic like CTAB db = Db.curDb() id = db.currentLayoutId() expr = '%<\\AcObjProp Object(%<\\_ObjId {}>%).Name \\f "%tc1">%'.format(id.asOldId()) print(expr) %<\AcObjProp Object(%<\_ObjId 2842273914048>%).Name \f "%tc1">%

Hi I’ve run into this problem several times, but I was never able to understand why — until today. Sometimes I need to use the "boundary" command to obtain the perimeter of complex enclosed areas, but occasionally the area of the region returned by the command does not match the expected value. Today, I finally discovered why. In the image, I show an example of this. The thick yellow line is part of the original geometry, while the thinner dark-colored line is the one returned by "boundary". I repeated the command several times, but it always makes the same mistake. Does anyone understand why this happens? Is it possible to solve it somehow? Thanks in advance.

SuperBoundary • The superior boundary creation tool
Hachi commented on Debalance's file in Programs and Scripts
Dear Members, @mcweb, @lowebowski, @SLW210 Unfortunately, I also encountered difficulties when attempting to purchase a licence. It appears that the developer's website has either disappeared or become inactive. As a result, I decided to develop my own alternative solution. The software is still under development; however, it has already delivered very good results for the tasks I originally needed it for. For the time being, I am happy to make it available free of charge under a machine-locked licence. If you are satisfied with the user experience and functionality, feel free to contact me via private message. Suggestions and feedback are also very welcome. One of the key advantages of this development is that it is not tied to any specific AutoCAD or Autodesk version. It operates as a standalone application, processing DXF files directly and producing DXF output files (please refer to the attached user guide). I hope this may be of help to others facing similar challenges. It has certainly helped me successfully complete my own projects. PS: For licence enquiries, please feel free to contact me via private message as well. Kind regards, HATCH-SETUP.rar HATCHI LT User Manual.pdf -
Automatically placing borehole tables with leaders without overlap
SLW210 replied to MSHR's topic in AutoLISP, Visual LISP & DCL
Do you only have AutoCAD LT 2026 to do this? As already requested, you need a to post a .dwg and Excel, CSV, etc.
