@Steven P Hi bro, I have tried this and modified but I don't know is this right. (defun PC3Name ( / ) ;; Name of custom Plot Configuration PC3 File ;; This is the Plot Configuration PC3 file used when you check the 'Preview PDF' checkbox ;; otherwise it uses 'DWG to PDF.pc3' "Foxit PDF Editor Printer.pc3" ) (defun PC3Loc ( / PCP PC3LOC ) ;; Location of custom Print Configuration PC3 files ;; Note standard and no preview PC3 files are to be in the same location (setq PC3Loc (vla-get-PrinterConfigPath (vla-get-Files (vla-get-Preferences (vlax-get-acad-object))))) PC3LOC ) (defun PDFgetplottername ( pdfpreview / pname PC3FilePath ) ;; Get the correct plotter name based on preview or not (setq pname "DWG to PDF.pc3") ;; Default fallback (if (findfile (setq PC3FilePath (strcat (PC3Loc) "\\" (PC3Name)))) (setq pname (PC3Name)) ) (if (= pdfpreview "N") (if (findfile (setq PC3FilePath (strcat (PC3Loc) "\\" (PC3NameNP)))) (setq pname (PC3NameNP)) ) ) pname ) (defun PC3Exists (pc3name / fullpath) (setq fullpath (strcat (PC3Loc) "\\" pc3name)) (findfile fullpath) ) (defun C:PDF1 ( / cm pc3name paperName ) (vl-load-com) (setq cm (getvar 'CMDECHO)) (setvar 'CMDECHO 0) ;; Define your desired PC3 file and paper size (setq pc3name "Foxit PDF Editor Printer.pc3") (setq paperName "ARCH D") ;; or exact size from your PC3 ;; Only proceed if the PC3 file exists (if (PC3Exists pc3name) (progn (command "_.-plot" "_y" (if (= 1 (getvar 'TILEMODE)) "Model" (getvar 'CTAB)) pc3name paperName "_M" "_L" "_N" "_E" "_F" "_C" "_Y" "Free State.ctb" "_Y" ) (if (= 1 (getvar 'TILEMODE)) (command "_A") (command "_N" "_Y") ) (command "_N" (strcat (getvar 'DWGPREFIX) (vl-filename-base (getvar 'DWGNAME)) ".pdf") "_Y" "_Y" ) ) (prompt (strcat "\nPC3 file not found: " pc3name)) ) (setvar 'CMDECHO cm) (princ) ) But after that it shows like "Command: PDF1 PC3 file not found: Foxit PDF Editor Printer.pc3" The custom.pc3 file were saved in same as the default file/location. I don't know what I did wrong.

For PC3 files, if I remember, I couldn't get LISP to create one so you'll need to set them all up and save the configuration files. It would help if you save them in the default file location A couple of snippets I have, This gives the default PC3 file location: (defun PC3Loc ( / PCP PC3LOC) ;;Location of custom Print Configuration PC3 files ;;modify if you want a different location from the default AutoCAD location ;;Note standard and no preview PC3 files are to be in the same location for it to work well. (setq PC3Loc (vla-get-PrinterConfigPath (vla-get-Files (vla-get-Preferences (vlax-get-acad-object))))) PC3LOC ) This one checks that the PC3 file exists - defined in the PC3NAME lisp (defun PC3Name ( / ) ;;Name of custom Plot Configuration PC3 File ;;This is the Plot Configutation PC3 file used when you check the 'Preview PDF' checkbox ;;otherwise it uses 'DWG to PDF.pc3' "DWG to PDF.pc3" ) (defun PDFgetplottername( pdfpreview / pname) ;;this needs to be set up in pagesetup settings (setq pname "DWG to PDF.pc3") ;;Default DWG to PDF plotter (if (findfile (setq PC3FilePath (strcat (PC3Loc) "\\" (PC3Name))) ) (setq pname (PC3Name)) );;end if (if (= pdfpreview "N") ;;get custom PC3 file name (if (findfile (setq PC3FilePath (strcat (PC3Loc) "\\" (PC3NameNP))) ) (setq pname (PC3NameNP)) );;end if );;end if pname ) where my Dwg to PDF.PC3 is my PDF plotter setting file

Did you try to hard code the full path to the .pc3? i.e. C:PathtoPC3folder/Foxit PDF Editor Printer.pc3

I moved your thread to the AutoLISP, Visual LISP & DCL Forum. Please post in the appropriate forum.

Yes, correct, I meant on that

No 'man': Ro'man'

@GLAVCVS, I tryed with "acLineSpacingStyleAtLeast", where the default value is 1 (acLineSpacingStyleAtLeast = 1). But, if you want different number than "1", definetly need to change "acLineSpacingStyleAtLeast" with desired value. As always, you're the man, thanks!

Just one detail: it might be necessary to replace 'acLineSpacingStyleAtLeast' with 1 for MLEADERs as well.

Hi @masterfal, I don't know what do you want to achieve with this: (vl-catch-all-apply (function (lambda () (setq mtextObj (vlax-invoke ent 'GetMText)) (if mtextObj (progn (setq newText (vla-AddMText (vla-get-ModelSpace (vla-get-ActiveDocument (vlax-get-acad-object))) (vla-get-insertionpoint mtextObj) (vla-get-width mtextObj) (vla-get-TextString mtextObj) ) ) but there is several issues in this code, like: 'GetMText doesn't exist as Method, you can't use "acLineSpacingStyleAtLeast" as variable to store the value, etc. You can try with this: (defun c:LSFsel ( / ss i ent obj acLineSpacingStyleAtLeast mtextObj newText) (vl-load-com) (if (setq ss (ssget)) (progn (setq i 0) (while (< i (sslength ss)) (setq ent (vlax-ename->vla-object (ssname ss i))) (cond ;; MText: apply directly ((= (vla-get-objectname ent) "AcDbMText") (vla-put-LineSpacingStyle ent 1) (vla-put-LineSpacingFactor ent 0.8) ) ;; MLeader: rebuild MText ((= (vla-get-objectname ent) "AcDbMLeader") (vla-put-TextLineSpacingStyle ent acLineSpacingStyleAtLeast) (vla-put-TextLineSpacingFactor ent 0.80) ) ) (setq i (1+ i)) ) (princ "\n? Line spacing factor set to 0.8 for selected items.") ) (princ "\n?? No objects selected.") ) (princ) ) Try it, and see if it's helpful.

Like others write same script file all the time then only one ever exists. Part 2 I reset my temporary directory to a top level "d:\acadtemp" much easier to find, you may be horrified as to how much junk is in there. To reset or find, Options, Files,"Temporary directory"" Save Multi toggles to a support directory as its auto loaded. cleanup temp.lsp Multi toggles.lsp

Hi I’m attaching the code. But first, a brief explanation of how it works. The function is implemented by calling MiGRTexto with one parameter: the desired height for the real-time texts (this should be a value between 0.5 and 1) Therefore, it can be placed inside a main function that can be called from the command line (e.g., (defun c:myCommand)). As for the code that provides functionality, it's actually very simple: it consists of a text next to the right CROSSHAIR and an MTEXT below it. These must be properly managed so that they dynamically update their size, location and content—it's that straightforward. From there, it’s just a matter of adding code to achieve whatever final functionality the user needs. In the attached code, a small emulator for the "pline" command is implemented, triggered by a LEFT CLICK event. This event calls funcionPrincipal, which is provided with two arguments: the screen point indicated and the entity name (or nil) of the object under the PICKBOX at that location. These two arguments should be enough to enable any subsequent operation. It’s important to note that the entire behavior relies on GRREAD, and therefore on mouse and keyboard events. These events are handled using several clauses within a cond expression, which can be extended or modified by the user. I haven’t implemented any code to add object snap functionality. Doing so would considerably complicate the code, and for some users, it may not be necessary. In any case, suggestions and improvements (regarding snapping or any other proposals) are welcome in this thread—for those (myself included) who may want to improve or add new features. I won’t go on any further.

After seeing @BIGAL's suggestion, I'm wondering if I understood correctly what you're asking, Vica. Anyway, I'm attaching a short clip of what I'm talking about. FACTVM de ARCTIS.mp4 I’ve implemented a small emulator of the "pline" command in the base code, but each user should implement the code they need for their specific task instead. Basically, the distance variation from the last stored point in LASTPOINT is displayed above the cursor (though this can be easily changed by modifying the textoGR1 function). Below the cursor, any desired information about the object under it will be shown (or not, if visibility is toggled by pressing the F10 key). This information must be passed to the textoGR2 function as a list of (Property_Name StringValue) pairs. The main code must be implemented in the 'FuncionPrincipal' function.
