  1. 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.

  3. I wanted more buttons but ran out of space so just created an alternative reallity for myself. It's very basic / simple and still a work in progress but as usual time is not on my side especially now my boss in away for 4 weeks and he probably was afraid I would get bored and start to play with myself so he left me with a load of work. Update : because this routine uses grread you can't run any other (transparent) commands. Thats why I added 'hot' keys for zoom. E for extents, Z for zoom , + & - for zooming in & out. Maybe it's useful , maybe it's not...bite me. ;;; RlxGrMenu - 2025-07-09 - Just a funny / very basic little 'toolbar' ;;; It draws a column with 12 rows.

  4. I managed to get rid of the flickering but keeping snap enabled. Here is the new version: offset.lsp Instead of hiding the polyline before doing the osnap, I now keep the polyline hidden and render it with grvecs instead. Therefore no snapping to itself and no more flickering!

  5. oh yeah , the good ol' days of AutoCad , think I started around version 2.22 , 1987/88 or something. In that time only pull down & screen menu's , no xrefs , no model / paper space yet, IBM screens and keyboards you could knock out T-Rex with. Downside is , part of you will always be stucked in the good old days. I probably know only a couple % there is to know about AutoCad , maybe even less. I still go back to the old *mnu files for my toolbars because I still don't like ribbons. I want my buttons simple and always on the same location. But I do like colored buttons so now & again I upgrade one of my apps , this one is almost 30 years old and I couldn't live without it

  6. Incremental Numbering Suite Version 4.0 Released. The main feature of the new version is the introduction of a dedicated 'Content Builder' to facilitate the construction of an incrementing string from an arbitrary number of incrementing and/or static components. With this feature, the user now has the ability to independently control the increment amount and increment frequency for each component of the string, enabling multiple sections of the string to increment by different amounts and at different rates to one another. The new version also introduces the ability to load & save application configurations, streamlining the operation of the program for multiple numbering systems.

  7. This reminds me on SCREENMENU (picture 1), but you're solution are better . One old programmer with a lot experience in programming, in AutoCAD, told me about SCREENMENU when I tried to do something. And I forget to mention, I have never done anything with SCREENMENU .

  8. That looks good. Years ago I had FastCAD which had a menu very similar for inserting blocks. My current LISP to try to do similar used DCL and buttons, however a couple of tweaks this could (pretty much) copy what was in FastCAD (it was about the best bit of FastCAD). Example call say 'Doors', your pop-up menu appears and instead of text an image of the block to insert (can make a simplified block using vector graphics, same way as your text). I'll add another line to my to-do list. EDIT. A comment I was going to make last night. You reminded me. The vector letters are handy to keep somewhere - in a DCL for example you can create an image (or image button), using vector letters but add colours to highlight text:

  9. Here is a version that only uses lisp. You will have to download grsnap: https://www.lee-mac.com/grsnap.html It does flicker when I am preventing it from snapping to itself, rest seems to work fine. Keyboard input works a s well. Give it a try: offset.lsp

  10. have done a sort of messenger in the past with (m)text so just wanted to try something else. With vectors a simple redraw and your plate is clean again. I was / am considering adding background but for now wanted to keep it fast & furious due to workload (turning my boss's promises into reality)

  11. 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. Now, the code... ;******************* p o r d e s í a r g o ******************** ;************************ G L A V C V S ************************* ;************************** F E C I T *************************** (defun MiGRTexto (factor / l se e le txTmp txTmp1 txOk tam p pa pt pt1 i? v1 polil alt tx para erroria errores error0 textoGR1 textoGR2 funcionPrincipal) (defun erroria () (defun errores (mens) (setq *error* error0) (vla-delete txTmp) (vla-delete txTmp1) (redraw) (if e (redraw e 4)) (prin1) ) (setq error0 *error* *error* errores ) ) (defun funcionPrincipal (pt e) (setvar 'LASTPOINT pt) ;;;INICIO(START) EMULAD(T)OR "pline" (if polil (entmod (append (entget polil) (list (cons 10 pt)))) (if (entmake (list '(0 .

  12. This returns the serial number of the motherboard. It is more unique than the hard drive's serial number and also more unique than the variant of this same function that uses "Select * from Win32_BaseBoard".

  13. I guess using GRREAD to pick a point in real time and behind the scenes do a search box looking for text and in particular a match say "ABC" in "ABCDEFGH" if yes then zoom in on that text. I am not good at GRREAD code so some one else may be able to help. Search box.part based on a pick point. (setq off 18) ; needs to be changed to suit a dwg. (while (setq pt (getpoint "\nPick point ")) (setq pt1 (polar pt (* 0.25 pi) off)) (setq pt2 (polar pt (* 0.75 pi) off)) (setq pt3(polar pt (* 1.25 pi) off)) (setq pt4 (polar pt (* 1.75 pi) off)) (setq pts (list pt1 pt2 pt3 pt4 pt1)) (setq ss (ssget "CP" pts '((0 .

  25. I incorporated nanoflann( https://github.com/jlblancoc/nanoflann) wrappers into PyRx. Although other efficient KD-Tree implementations exist in Python, such as pykdtree, the wrapper is specifically designed for AcGePoint2d/AcGePoint3d, eliminating the need for type conversions. How can these structures be beneficial in CAD? in this example, we search for a phone within a certain radius of each computer. Additionally, we can identify computers that do not have phones. We could also do something like, search all MTexts on the Layer "Employee" to determine whether they are near a chair, phone, or computer. import traceback from pyrx import Ap, Ax, Db, Ed, Ge, Gi, command # radiusSearch @command def doit(): db = Db.curDb() phones, computers = getBlocks(db) result = [] # create the tree of phone locations phonePoints = Ge.Point3dArray() for phone in phones: phonePoints.append(phone[1]) phoneTree = Ge.Point3dTree(phonePoints) # search for nerby phones for computer in computers: idxs, _ = phoneTree.radiusSearch(computer[1], 50 * 50)# sqrd if len(idxs) == 0: print("no phone") continue for idx in idxs: result.append((computer, phones[idx])) for cpu, phn in result: Ed.Core.grDraw(cpu[1], phn[1], 2, 0) # helper, store the id and position def getBlocks(db: Db.Database): phones = [] computers = [] model = Db.BlockTableRecord(db.modelSpaceId()) refs = [Db.BlockReference(id) for id in model.objectIds(Db.BlockReference.desc())] for ref in refs: if ref.getBlockName() == "COMPUTER": computers.append((ref.objectId(), ref.position())) elif ref.getBlockName() == "FNPHONE": phones.append((ref.objectId(), ref.position())) return phones, computers

  26. In lisp there is a function AUTOLOAD that does just that loads a lisp based on a command typed on the command line. So you just need a single lisp that has all the autoload commands in it. That custom lisp is loaded on startup in my case its Appload and add to Startup suite. I called my lisp "Autoload.lsp" Here is sample code. You may need to add the start defun name (c:Yourlisp) as last line in the lisp that is loaded, as the load command can be anything and not necessarily the command to run it. eg ZZZ (autoload "COPY0" '("COPY0")) (autoload "COPYCOMMAND" '("ZZZ")) (autoload "COVER" '("COVER")) (autoload "DIMFLIP" '("DIMFLIP")) (autoload "DRAWXFALL" '("DRAWXFALL")) (autoload "DRAWPIPE" '("DRAWPIPE")) (autoload "EDITRL" '("EDITRL"))

  27. Hi Like @Stevenp, I can't verify exactly what this is about either: I'm not in front of a PC. But it looks like the last SPoint is 'nil' because '(+ Counter ForwardVisDistance)' is a number greater than the length of 'selPline'. There are a few lines of code that are unnecessary, but they don't prevent your routine from working, so just try changing (while (< Counter SelPline_Length) to (while (and (setq EPoint (vlax-curve-getPointAtDist SelPline (+ Counter ForwardVisDistance))) (setq SPoint (vlax-curve-getPointAtDist SelPline Counter))) It looks like you used AI to do this, but you should still be able to remove the excess code after making these changes.

  28. Hi Indeed, any process started from AutoCAD will inherit its privilege level. For example, if AutoCAD opens an instance of Word, that instance will inherit the same privilege level as AutoCAD. However, if a Word instance is already running and AutoCAD starts controlling it, its privilege level might be different. In that case, it might be necessary to check it in order to warn the user. Could your issue be something similar to that? As @mhupp says, there is no direct way to determine this from VLisp. But there are some tricks to achieve it: For example: (defun acadAdmin? (/ arch r ruta ruta1 f sh) (if (findfile (setq ruta1 (strcat (getenv "TEMP") "\\acAdmin.si"))) (vl-file-delete ruta1) ) (if (setq arch (open (setq ruta (strcat (getenv "TEMP") "\\ea.bat")) "w")) (progn (write-line "@echo off net session >nul 2>&1 if %errorlevel% == 0 ( echo SI> \"%temp%\\acAdmin.si\" )" arch ) (close arch) (setq sh (vlax-create-object "WScript.Shell")) (vlax-invoke sh 'Run ruta 0 :vlax-true) (vlax-release-object sh) (vl-file-delete ruta) (if (setq r (findfile ruta1)) (progn (vl-file-delete ruta1) T ) ) ) ) ) This simply writes a .bat that when executed, creates the file "acAdmin.si" only if AutoCAD is running as admin

  30. @NanGlase To further assess the possibilities of the "license server" option in real time from AutoCAD, the following needs to be considered: At the code level, you must: Check that both the client PC and your own have the same communication port available, and if not, handle this somehow. Also ensure that the firewall will not block the ports on either the client or the server side. At the infrastructure level, you must: Have a static IP or a domain name on the server side so that your code, when executed by the client, knows where to send the request. In my opinion, although this is an interesting challenge, you should assess whether the effort and investment required are justified by the benefits you may gain. I believe that, considering all of this, the most reasonable options might be those proposed by @Steven P and @BIGAL.

  31. Hi everyone, Semi-long time listener, first time caller. I wanted to say thanks for the help and tips I got from this site over the past 6 months. As I have been working on two autolisps, one called P0 the other P9. The do the same thing, kinda. P0 will pull the dwgname field and save it to the clipboard, allowing me to use it wherever without have to flip to the folders . . pick the file . . . hit F2 . . CTRL+C . . . then go back. P9 does the same thing, but adds dwgprefix + dwgname. I work in a third-party firm that uses several client projects with their different CAD standards. Some forbid using fields in the titleblocks for various reasons and like them hard coded. P9 is useful for when I'm jumping between sub-folders and need to plot to source folders. I can't use the PDFExport feature, as different clients use different standards and I need to make sure everything is good before going for each plot, mostly for peace of mind. I wanted to share these with you guys as a thank you and giving back to the community. My autolisps learning is only about 4 - 5 months old. FYI, I didn't know till literally a few days ago, from this very site, that one can right click the tab for the copy full path. lol P9.lsp P0.lsp

  34. Forgive the Python, only trying to illustrate one possibility. This code creates a spatial filter for a block reference, to simulate a detail. In the image, I created a block of the room, with two references. One has a spatial filter applied and is scaled. You can do the same in lisp, or by hand, make a copy of the block, run the xclip command, draw your polyline perimeter, set XCLIPFRAME to 1 so you can see your frame. instead of a circle, use a polygon with a shape to your liking. My code still needs work as my transformby is wonky(not centered correctly) and I hand drew the leader line lol import traceback from pyrx import Rx, Ge, Gi, Db, Ap, Ed ACDB_INFINITE_XCLIP_DEPTH = 1.0e300 def addFilter_getmat(refid, filter): ref = Db.BlockReference(refid, Db.OpenMode.kForWrite) Db.IndexFilterManager.addFilter(ref, filter) return ref.blockTransform() @Ap.Command() def doit(): try: db = Db.curDb() _ps, refid, _ = Ed.Editor.entSel("\nSelect ", Db.BlockReference.desc()) _ps, cen = Ed.Editor.getPoint("\nGet center: ") _ps, rad = Ed.Editor.getDist(cen, "\nGet radius: ") carc = Ge.CircArc3d(cen, Ge.Vector3d.kZAxis, rad) pts3d, _params = carc.getSamplePoints(20) filter = Db.SpatialFilter() mat = addFilter_getmat(refid, filter) pts2d = [] for pt in pts3d: pt.transformBy(mat) pts2d.append(Ge.Point2d(pt.x, pt.y)) filter.setDefinition( pts2d, Ge.Vector3d.kZAxis, db.elevation(), ACDB_INFINITE_XCLIP_DEPTH, -ACDB_INFINITE_XCLIP_DEPTH, True, ) except Exception as err: print(err)

  41. Hi @pkenewell I don’t use tangents. For straight segments, the geometry progresses or retreats based on the angular direction of the lateral segments of the selected one. For arc segments, in order to “link” them, progression and retreat are done based on the radius. The variable *s* is currently single-use if passed to the second part of the command, outside of GRREAD. The code is like a living being: it’s born with the idea of following a path, and along the way, it chooses a different route. So *s* was implemented with the intention of providing a complete solution within GRREAD, and along the way, the current solution was chosen instead.

  43. @GLAVCVS Nicely done! I'm still trying to get my head completely around this. I am trying to figure out how you are getting real-time coordinates when grread is not in tracking mode? i.e. (grread nil...) vs. (grread T...). I thought tracking mode had to be on to get real-time coordinates from the cursor. I guess you learn something every new every day, even old AutoLISP programmers like me that started back in the mid 90's. Also al trying to figure out the significance of flipping the *s* variable back and forth within the loop. Yours does react a little bit differently to ElpanovEvgeniy's original code, in the fact that his original code somehow keeps the tangency of segments adjacent to an arc segment if it exists.

  49. Yes. The object reference cannot be enabled while 'GRREAD' is active. 'GRREAD' is like the corner where the Keymaker, the Merovingian, or the Oracle dwell: the rules here are different. To have an object snap available, it would be necessary to write or implement one (such as Lee Mac's GrSnap, for example). But this would considerably increase the code, and I think it's unnecessary because, in the second part of the command, object snap is enabled. PS: I modified the code at the last minute yesterday. You might want to make sure it matches the version you have.
