Just an update on the situation. It looks like the site is the target of a bot attack, which is continuing. However, I'm putting some defences in place that should start to take effect over the next 24 hours.

You're most welcome! Prior to evaluating the PEDIT command I assign the last primary entity in the drawing database to the symbol ent using the entlast function. Then, after calling the PEDIT command, I test whether the value held by the symbol ent points to the same entity as that returned by entlast (and I redefine the ent symbol at the same time). If the entity is the same, this indicates that the PEDIT command has not added any entities to the drawing database and has hence failed to generate a new polyline; as such, the test expression for the if statement is only validated if these entities differ with the new entity assigned to ent being the new polyline generated by the PEDIT command.

Try the code below. Note 1: I haven't fully tested the code. I cannot run utmgeo.VLX as I use BricsCAD instead of AutoCAD. Also I would probably need a sample dwg with the highlighter block inserted in a 'feasible' location. If you have the source of the VLX and such a dwg please post them. Note 2: The highlighter block has to already be inserted before calling the SvUpdate command.

Hi All, apologies for the late reply, I've been away on holiday this week and tried to stay offline, so only just catching up. It looks as though there has been some sort of event this week; the server has seen a massive increase in http requests but traffic and bandwidth have remained stable. It's possible that it was some sort of attack but I'm still investigating. The server isn't quite back to normal but nothing like the level seen in the first half of last week. I'm keeping my eye on it for now and will report back. Thanks all for reporting this incident and apologies for the inconvenience.

many thanks. I will try it out

>> Why does my selection set only work on the first block and does not run on the others? Because of this: (setq ss (ssname ss i)) What you're doing, is overwriting ss. ss used to be your whole selection, but the instant you execute this line of code ss now means the first block. You should put this in another variable. for example: (setq blk (ssname ss i)) (LM:vl-SetAttributeValue (vlax-ename->vla-object blk) "tag" "value") Also ... "tag" "value", this is weird. This means the value "value" gets set. What you want is (LM:vl-SetAttributeValue (vlax-ename->vla-object blk) tag value) This means the value "ITEM1", or "ITEM2" ... gets set. Also, DEMO doesn't do what you want it to do. But I'll stop here, for now.

Steven P's method is probably the best. I plot to paper with a page setup set to Layout and to PDF with a page setup set to Extents with "Center the plot" checked. Not exactly the same, but close enough.

Your code has several issues. But the cause of the problem lies in this part (reformatted); (cond ((= layrname "_Floor") (cond ((= tst "INSERT") (setq blockname (cdr (assoc 2 (entget (ssname sset ctr))))) ) ) ) ) (cond ((= "Direction Ref Point" blockname) ; This returns T for items after the "Direction Ref Point" block. (setq bpt (cdr (assoc 10 (entget (ssname sset ctr))))) ) ) The bpt variable gets updated with point data from items processed after the block. Consider this instead (note the use of 'and'): (if (and (= "_Floor" layrname) (= "INSERT" tst) (= "Direction Ref Point" (cdr (assoc 2 (entget (ssname sset ctr))))) ) (setq bpt (cdr (assoc 10 (entget (ssname sset ctr))))) )

I don't know why you are trying a third party application instead of the suggestions for using publish correctly.

Please note that there are two types of "closed" polylines. Consider a polyline that forms a closed shape square. It could have 4 defined vertices and the "c" option was used to close it or it could have 5 vertices where the first and last vertices have the same location. The following code will handle open polylines and polylines where the first and last vertex are the same with output per your latest posted request. It will not list the distance for a "closed" polyline where the first and last vertex are not the same but the closed parameter was used. ;POLYVERT - list coordinates of polyline vertices ; ;CAD Studio - www.cadstudio.cz www.cadforum.cz ; modified by lrm 6/27/2019 v4 ; (setq __PV_Delimiter " ") ; or ";" or (chr 9) (setq __PV_DP (getvar "LUPREC")) ; decimal places (command "-units" "" 2 "" "" "" "") (defun C:POLYVERT (/ ent listCOORDINATES PT1) (setq ent (entsel "\nPick POLYLINE to list vertices:")) (if (and ent (wcmatch (cdr (assoc 0 (entget (setq ent (car ent))))) "*POLYLINE" ) ;all types ) ;and (progn (setq listCOORDINATES (PolyVert ent)) ;make list (princ "\nVertex list (x y distance-from-previuos):") (setq pt0 (nth 0 listCOORDINATES) ptStart pt0 ) (foreach PT1 listCOORDINATES ;all vertices (setq d (distance pt0 pt1)) (if (/= pt0 PT1) (progn (princ (strcat "\n" (rtos (car pt0) 2 __PV_DP) __PV_Delimiter (rtos (cadr pt0) 2 __PV_DP) __PV_Delimiter (rtos d 2 __PV_DP) __PV_Delimiter ) ) display XYZ (setq pt0 pt1) ) ; progn ) ; end if ) ;for ; check if first and last vertex are the same (if (> (distance ptStart pt0) 0.001) (progn (princ (strcat "\n" (rtos (car pt0) 2 __PV_DP) __PV_Delimiter (rtos (cadr pt0 ) 2 __PV_DP ) __PV_Delimiter ) ) ) ; progn ) ) ;progn (princ " no polyline selected") ) ;if (princ) ) ; PolyVert ; returns vertices list for any type of polyline (in WCS coordinates) ; arg POLY: polyline to list (ename or vla-object) (defun PolyVert (POLY / par pt1 pt0 lst) (vl-load-com) (setq par (if (vlax-curve-isClosed POLY) (vlax-curve-getEndParam POLY) ; else (1+ (vlax-curve-getEndParam POLY)) ) ) (while (setq pt1 (vlax-curve-getPointAtParam POLY (setq par (- par 1)))) (setq lst (cons pt1 lst)) ) ) ; return lst (princ "\nPOLYVERT command loaded.")

Exactly. I'm not so sure a "perpetual license" is the answer in today's tech world. How else do you drag people out of using the same version for decades? There are even people on this forum who are still on R14 and while they have heavily customized their software and they produce great things, they are the exception to the rule. It becomes the Microsoft IE6 story if software companies don't do something about it. A company buying a particular version of software and operating it for decades is very different than, say, a company buying equipment and operating it for decades. Software changes - and so does the hardware it's dependent upon. I appreciate the people who do choose to upgrade AutoCAD every year or few years but that's not the case with everyone. If you're on AutoCAD 2009 and earlier then you're not a serious AutoCAD user, with few exceptions (David Bethel for instance). -TZ

Our color ctb has the 1st9 as black with various increasing thickness like old iso pens. The last few are greys as is, we have left the color as they are but just sort of know what works, all the colours are set to the same line weight 0.25. Yellow is the worst on white as mentioned, use 32 a nice Orange, some of the blues come out purplyish. Is that a word ? I have attached a sample we have around 5 different ctb's depending on the out put type fine for smll sheets a bit fatter for large sheets. Oh yeah the mono ctb you use the shift and drag over the pen settings to change colour lineweight etc dont do 1 at a time. DesignLaserCOLOUR.ctb

Click finish and then repeat for all the paper sies. I used the standard paper sizes since I use a plotting list - and it is easier to use if I use a standard paper size. Then when it comes to plotting, just choose your modified paper size

For me that's 3D, anything that uses all 3 axis is 3D, solids are another thing altogether but there is such a thing as 2D solids in LT. I draw just about everything in 3D using LT. The big difference is the available tools included with LT, so it is a question of how much time you are willing to put into a drawing to get the results. LT does have the "hide" command so views with hidden line removal are also possible. All by it's self just using LT you can do a lot, but add in the power of Excel and you can do it quicker (if you don't count the weeks and months of programming ).

The following outputs only the x and y followed by the distance from the previous point all with 2 decimal points. I think that is what you wanted. ;POLYVERT - list coordinates of polyline vertices ; ;CAD Studio - www.cadstudio.cz www.cadforum.cz ; (setq __PV_Delimiter " ") ; or ";" or (chr 9) (setq __PV_DP (getvar "LUPREC")) ; decimal places (command "-units" "" 2 "" "" "" "") (defun C:POLYVERT (/ ent listCOORDINATES PT1) (setq ent (entsel "\nPick POLYLINE to list vertices:")) (if (and ent (wcmatch (cdr (assoc 0 (entget (setq ent (car ent))))) "*POLYLINE" ) ;all types ) ;and (progn (setq listCOORDINATES (PolyVert ent)) ;make list (princ "\nVertex list (x y distance-from-previuos):") (setq pt0 (nth 0 listCOORDINATES)) (foreach PT1 listCOORDINATES ;all vertices (setq d (distance pt0 pt1)) (princ (strcat "\n" (rtos (car PT1) 2 __PV_DP) __PV_Delimiter (rtos (cadr PT1) 2 __PV_DP) __PV_Delimiter (rtos d 2 __PV_DP) __PV_Delimiter ) ) display XYZ (setq pt0 pt1) ) ;for ) ;progn (princ " no polyline selected") ) ;if (princ) ) ; PolyVert ; returns vertices list for any type of polyline (in WCS coordinates) ; arg POLY: polyline to list (ename or vla-object) (defun PolyVert (POLY / par pt1 lst) (vl-load-com) (setq par (if (vlax-curve-isClosed POLY) (vlax-curve-getEndParam POLY) ; else (1+ (vlax-curve-getEndParam POLY)) ) ) (while (setq pt1 (vlax-curve-getPointAtParam POLY (setq par (- par 1)))) (setq lst (cons pt1 lst)) ) ) ; return lst (princ "\nPOLYVERT command loaded.")

I thought I pretty much explained how to do it in that very same post you reference. The center of the cul-de-sac is located using coordinates supplied in the project instructions which I believe are X=1421125.75 / Y=783525.60. The cul-de-sac has a radius of 50' and the streetline width is also 50' (again, from the instructions). The west streetline of SW 85th Avenue is 120' east of the subdivision boundary and it is also parallel to it. The east streetline would be parallel to the west streetline. The "short line at the center" is the centerline of the street and is located equidistant between the two streetlines meaning it is 25' from both (straight down the middle of the road). You should have been done with this project back in November. What happened, did you take a vacation or something?

Just use revcloud and Object option again with the new arc length, click on the old revcloud. You should get a new revcloud with the new arc length, delete the old one. You might be able to automate this with a script or LISP.

Oleson Village - Lots 6, 7, & 8. One slight correction. I forget the 23.06 property line in a previously posted image for lot #6. I circled it in the above image. The R.O.W. between lot #7 and SW Oleson Road should be 40 feet.

GATTE 2 Global Attribute Edit with Layout Selection This small program works just like AutoCAD's GATTE express tool, with the extra option of choosing which layouts to apply attribute changes to. There are two versions of this program: Version 1 Command: GATTE2 ..is made in lisp and is loaded using these instructions. It uses CAB's Layout Select program to select which layouts you want. (Make sure you download and place LayoutSelect.dcl in an AutoCAD search path or GATTE2 will not work!) Version 1 Required Files: GATTE2.lsp LayoutSelect.dcl Both in GATTE2 V1.zip. Version 2 Command: G2N ..contains an optional Number Incrementer. It is a .NET program and can be loaded using the command NETLOAD; this can then be put into a lisp for startup if desired. Another way to load a .NET program is shown here. Version 2 Dialog Window Version 2 Required Files: GATTE2.dll (in GATTE2 V2 dll.zip ) Alternatively, compile version 2 using the source files in GATTE2 V2 CS Files.zip. Any comments are welcome, reply to the original thread. GATTE2 V1.zip GATTE2 V2 CS files.zip GATTE2 V2 dll.zip

Not sure about I have understand you right, just try the project ~'J'~ UsingVlax.zip

Uddfl, would you go about altering the "ft" program in this manner? (defun c:ft (/ gcode gcodevalue) ; filter by group code value (works with strings only) (if (setq gcode (getint "\nEnter DXF group code: ")) (progn (cond ((member gcode '(1 2 3 6 7 8 410)) (setq gcodevalue (getstring T "\nEnter code String: "))) ((member gcode '(39 40 41 48 50 51 60 62 66 70 71 72 73 74)) (setq gcodevalue (getreal "\nEnter Code Number: "))) (T (princ "\nDXF Code not Recognised or I couldn't be bothered to look it up when I made this program"))) (and gcodevalue (sssetfirst nil (ssget (list (cons gcode gcodevalue))))))) (princ))
