I think this will help you: (defun c:pp() (setq ed (entget (car (entsel "select image ")))) (strcat " X= " (rtos (cadr (assoc 10 ed))) " Y= " (rtos (caddr (assoc 10 ed))) " dX= " (rtos (* (cadr (assoc 11 ed)) (cadr (assoc 13 ed)))) " dY= " (rtos (* (caddr (assoc 12 ed)) (caddr (assoc 13 ed))))) )

Try this mod. It should draw both top and bottom... Then you can select what is sufficient and remove what is undesirable... If you want pick with mouse for side - it has the same effect like selecting opposition - it has equal steps for working drawing situation...

Hello friends, 1) is it possible, through a code, to obtain the 4 coordinates of an image inserted in a drawing within Autocad? ______________ 2) If it were not possible to obtain the coordinates, perhaps the dimensions of the image could be obtained once inserted? Even if it is without scale, the scale does not matter, just obtain the dimensions of both height and width ______________ 3) If it is not possible, maybe you can tell me how to insert a JPG image, and have it inserted with the real dimensions of the file I can extract the dimensions of an image in the following way: ==================================================================================== (setq IMAGEN (car (entsel "\nSelecciona la imagen: "))) (setq IMAGEN-PROP-VLAX (vlax-ename->vla-object IMAGEN)) (setq ANCHO-IMAGEN (vla-get-Width IMAGEN-PROP-VLAX)) ; Obtener ancho en unidades de dibujo (setq ALTURA-IMAGEN (vla-get-Height IMAGEN-PROP-VLAX)) ; Obtener alto en unidades de dibujo ==================================================================================== Those REAL dimensions of the image file, is how a solution could be, to be able to insert the image at that scale of the real dimensions. This in order to be able to have a parameter to be able to know the height and width, and from those known dimensions and having the real dimensions captured in variables, from there, to be able to scale the image with some other Lisp code . Since if we know the point with coordinates, where the image was inserted, (assoc 10) from there, we can know the coordinates of the other 3 corners, based on those distances from the real dimensions of the image. I hope I haven't messed up too much, ha ha ha Thanks in advance !!!

Using vpoint is another way, you can make some lisp short cuts, then save the UCS set can then change to any view you want. (defun c:vp3 () (command "vpoint" "-1,-1,1") ) (if (= look "R")(command-s "-vpoint" "1,0,0")) (if (= look "L")(command-s "-vpoint" "-1,0,0")) (if (= look "F")(command-s "-vpoint" "0,-1,0")) (if (= look "B")(command-s "-vpoint" "0,1,0")) (if (= look "P")(command-s "-vpoint" "0,0,1"))

Does AutoCAD 3D have welding tool that does welding? I couldn’t find any resources online. For Example. I want to put 1/4 in weld around the metal. Do I just draw 1/4 triangles and extrude to get 3D? Thanks

You use VIEW command, View Manager dialog box opens, Preset Views (you can use the Ribbon to open View Manager as well). There is also a toolbar, View. I use: Top left of Modelspace and a Viewport, [-][Top][2D Wireframe], click on Top (or whatever is there at the time) for a dropdown for other views. Click on the - and 2D Wireframe for options as well. For not preset views I use Orbit, sometimes the Cube. I often consider writing some code to use the numpad like some 3D programs.

I fixed it. To retrieve a custom property: (setq si (vla-Get-SummaryInfo (vla-Get-ActiveDocument (vlax-Get-Acad-Object)))) (vla-GetCustomByKey si "ROW SPACING" 'RS) ;;get "ROW SPACING" set to variable RS Since RS is already a string the line will look like this: (list (list "Total Risers:" (strcat "%<\\AcExpr (Sum(B3:B" (itoa (setq r (+ (length (car x)) 2))) "))/" RS "\\f \"%lu2%pr0\">%")))

Fixed the X wall and also edited the prompt for the T so it's more explanatory. Like so: WALL-L X fixed.LSP

when i draw on model space for 3D modeling, i have a hard time understanding which side of plane that i am working on? Do you use the view cube on top right or USC coordinate to indicate the plane? sorry i am begginer in 3D autocad. Thanks

I put the ROW COUNT into RS Like so: (setq RS (getvar "ROW SPACING")) And then the rest of the suggested code change. That gives me this error: Error: bad argument type <NIL> ; expected <INTEGER> at [itoa]

Marko_ribar I want to ask a question about Plpath.lsp. Some times I select the option Top but draw the line Bottom. How the code undestand the Top or the Bottom? All my polylines are CCW.

Thanks marko_ribar , I didn't know about this code !!! is nice Thanks

Put the value of ROW SPACING in the variable RS, and run this code: (list (list "Total Risers:" (strcat "%<\\AcExpr (Sum(B3:B" (itoa (setq r (+ (length (car x)) 2))) (strcat "))/" (itoa RS) " \\f \"%lu2%pr0\">%") ) ) ) It should work...

Have you tried Plpath.lsp from here : https://www.cadtutor.net/forum/topic/37726-draw-polyline-along-with-2-or-more-adjacent-closed-polylines/?do=findComment&comment=442693 I think that it have option top or bottom - 2 sides, but it's not working with 3rd point... So you'll have to try and retry if it's wrong way...

Is it possible to add a Specify 3nd Point to select the correct side to draw the polyline? Thanks

Hi, I am trying to convert this code. This code ask to select two points of a polyline and draw a polyline on the path of the previous polyline to connect them. The problem is that this code connect the two points the most of the time, not from the side I want. I want to add somehow an option , for example Pick from the side you want to create the Polyline.

I am not sure but have a sneaky feeling can add a point to a surface using the correct civ3d command via lisp. You can find the command in the CUI. Over the years there is sample code supplied with CIV3D I am not sure if add a point is there, definitely use lisp to make a surface is there. Look in Something like this there is a VL api. Lastly if you search down the CIVIL 3D 2014 directory you will find a example of how to create a TIN via a program, I will see if I can find it, something like Civil 3D API. I may have seen last in CIV3d2012. Search for c:\Autodesk\Autocad Civil3d 2014\sample\civil 3d api\com\vba\SurfaceoperationSample.dvb PS have Point label style changer.lsp for second step. Doing some more digging Check post by Hippe13 I think is answer. I have a dcl select surface even if not displayed. You may also be interested in this for CIV3D surface display uses a toolbar approach the way it should work .Chcontourstoolbar.zip

A couple of different ways find the "-" using (vl-position then look at each character after it should be a "M" Then a "0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9" then check next if its also "0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9" Try this (setq str "NEN1555-M06x040E") (setq pos (+ 2 (vl-string-position 45 str))) (setq char1 (strcase (substr str pos 1))) (if (/= char1 "M") (princ "\nThe text chosen does not have a M bolt ") (progn (setq char2 (substr str (+ 1 pos) 1)) (if (or (< (ascii char2) 58)(> (ascii char2) 47)) (setq str2 (strcat char1 char2)) ) (setq char2 (substr str (+ 2 pos) 1)) (if (or (< (ascii char2) 58)(> (ascii char2) 47)) (setq str2 (strcat str2 char2)) ) ) ) ; "M06"

This is the code you can add the "Lxxx" fillet reactor.lsp

John Uhden responded Anyway, StripMtext was the invention of Joe Burke and Steve Doman. My contribution was very small and used only for the earliest releases.

I have this line of code and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to divide by a custom drawing property called "ROW SPACING". ...other stuff (list (list "Total Risers:" (strcat "%<\\AcExpr (Sum(B3:B" (itoa (setq r (+ (length (car x)) 2))) "))/12 \\f \"%lu2%pr0\">%"))) ;;replace 12 with the drawing property "ROW SPACING" ...other stuff How would I do that? Thank you!

Okay, I've spent part of the last week looking at Dynamo again. Apparently, the people who seriously use this package could fit into a monorail car. Autodesk created a package called Toolkit, which has a lot of handy, um, tools. A user created an entire GitHub package for Dynamo and Civil 3D called Camber. There is a node in Camber to create a surface elevation label, which solves half my problem. What's a node, you wonder? Dynamo is visual programming, so instead of functions or methods, you have nodes. (You find nodes in Blender as well.) Here's a sample: The goal is to process from left to right. The wires (tubes) transfer output from one node to input for another node. The two big nodes on the right, with all the wires running into them, are supposed to create surface elevation labels. They need a surface, a label style, and a marker style, which are picked from lists. Then you pick points and pass them both to the label nodes. There are a lot of crossed wires, but that's because I have several inputs going to multiple outputs. The top box on the right creates a 3D polyline between the two picked points and adds it to the drawing. (The Watch box just shows me the polyline when it's done--or it's supposed to. This thing doesn't quite work yet.) Once you catch on, this is definitely easier than code. You can't pass one type of output into a different type of input, so it automatically does type checking. You can see the structure of your algorithm. You don't have to worry about importing libraries. The downsides are that you have to change the way you think about getting things done, and sometimes you have to spend more time setting things up than solving the actual problem.

Thanks!

For some reason, the generous code submission has not effect on the TEXT or MTEXT in a file with the MIRRTEXT setting both as 1 or 0 (zero). I renamed Test to Fliptxt.lsp that appears to be run successfully.

hello everyone, what I would like to program in lisp is the following: in the drawing I have a block (bolt) of which I want to use the name to enter another block (nut). I test for insert 0 and test for the name of the block. Because there are many lengths of, for example, an M8 bolt, the name of the block must be filtered, otherwise the correct block (nut) will not be automatically selected and placed in the drawing. see attached lisp file, with comments. (DEFUN c:nutinsert (/ A B D ) (PROGN (SETQ A (ENTSEL "\nSelect Block: ")) (IF A (PROGN ; (SETQ B (CDR (ASSOC 0 (ENTGET (CAR A))))) (IF (NOT (= B "INSERT")) (ALERT "\nselectinset is not a Block.") ) (IF (= B "INSERT") (PROGN (SETQ D (CDR (ASSOC 2 (ENTGET (CAR A))))) ;get blockname ;following are examples of bolt names, the list is much longer. I only need (IF (OR (= D "NEN1555-M08x070E") ;M8 (OR (= D "NEN1555-M06x040E")) ;M6 (OR (= D "NEN1555-M10x090E")) ;M10 (OR (= D "NEN1555-M16x100E")) ;M16 (OR (= D "NEN1568-M03x050E")) ;M3 (OR (= D "NEN1568-M08x120E")) ;M8 (OR (= D "NEN1568-M06x060E")) ;M6 (= D "NEN1555-M12x050E")) ;M12 ;I need a filter only M8 OR M6 OR M10 ECT, of the blockname.
