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.

I wrote this program like four years ago (just for fun / exercise) and maybe used it once or twice so as we say here on Mars : guaranteed to the doorstep If it works : , if it doesn't ... As usual never wrote a manual so have fun experimenting. RlxBlockSync.lsp

did a little cleaning & tweaking and added a (grdraw) background to give it just a tiny bit more spunk ... enjoy ;;; RlxGrMenu - 2025-07-09 - Just a funny / basic / tiny 'toolbar' ;;; It draws a column on the right of your screen with 12 rows. ;;;

however... quite aggressive asking for the credit here today. Nicer ways to go "Hey, this was originally my code, can you credit me" and perhaps if possible the link to the original code to help the OP out. Code gets shared, the links and credits lost. Always good practice to add links to the sources and credits in case there are thing you want to go back and understand more from any discussions. Having said that though, upload code, you have no control of it's use and I am not sure I'd want credited with a base code that is mine and then heavily modified, or just a snippet of my code included in something larger without me doing checks and testing.

Here's a simpe solution that doesn't use LISP. Change the elevation of one of the polylines to 1.0 then use the loft command to create asurface. Section the resulting surface with an XY plane at 0,0,0.5.

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.

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!

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

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.

@PGia I went out for my 40-50 km bike ride today and I've been thinking about this for a while. I tried OVERKILL-MR and I admit I wasn't able to figure out the right ranges to remove the excess without causing any damage to the rest of the drawing (perhaps someone can prove otherwise). For this reason, in my opinion, I think you should look for another solution. I assume your ultimate goal is to have a clean drawing on which to create a polygon topology. To do this, use '_mapclean' in C3D, activating the options in 'Cleanup Actions': - Delete duplicates - Erase short objects - Break crossing objects - Dissolve pseudonodes Repeat this 2 or 3 times. I don't think this will solve all the problems. But it will leave the drawing ready for you to try creating a polygon topology. The problematic polylines that remain in the drawing will appear with each attempt to create the topology. It's a laborious but safe process. I imagine you're confused because you suddenly have to do something you haven't done before. But I think you'll have no choice but to waste a little time learning.

This related post may be helpful in this regard.

A couple of loose ends to tie up the all-too-fast V.2 release: -Multiple renumbering is currently done based on the order of the objects in the database: this looks ugly if the dispersion is too random. -As PGia has suggested, perhaps I should leave a brief explanation of the code's functionality. So, let's get to it: I've added a couple of improvements to the code that makes up the new version of <<Something different>>, which I've attached below. What's New in Version 2.1 The philosophy of this command is to concentrate the greatest number of functions in the fewest user actions. In addition to the previous capabilities: - individual creation/renumbering of texts based on the cursor position - multiple renumbering of texts using a selection window, thanks to the momentary activation of the 'V' key... The following has been added: - readjustment of the renumbering criteria for multiple texts ('V' key option): from now on, renumbering will be done based on proximity to the first corner indicated on the screen of the selection window. That is, if the selection window is from Northwest to Southwest, the renumbering increment will be in order from least to greatest distance from the Northwest corner. - In addition, the definition of the real-time selection window is discontinuous to differentiate it from others. ;******* <<S o m e t h i n g d i f f e r e n t V.2.1>> ******* ;******************* p o r d e s í a r g o ******************** ;************************ G L A V C V S ************************* ;************************** F E C I T *************************** (defun c:txtIncrem (/ tam capa ind para a c cl txsel le l s dameTexto uconfig obtcad ent loc tipC nC ps add errores error0 v actTX ventanea pv n cj acdoc md listOrda pr lt f ) (defun errores (mens) (setq *error* error0) (while (>= (boole 1 (getvar "UNDOCTL") 8) 8) (vla-endundomark acdoc) ) (prin1) ) (defun dameTexto (cad / v r l daleVuelta) ;;; WRITE HERE THE CODE YOU NEED TO CUSTOMIZE THE TEXT YOU WANT TO ENTER OR CREATE (defun daleVuelta (a) (cond ((and (> a 64) (< a 91)) (if (> (setq a (+ a 1)) 90) (setq a -65) a)) ((and (> a 96) (< a 123)) (if (> (setq a (+ a 1)) 122) (setq a -97) a)) ((and (> a 47) (< a 58)) (if (> (setq a (+ a 1)) 57) (setq a -48) a)) ) ) (foreach v (reverse (vl-string->list cad)) (if (or (not r) (minusp r)) (setq l (cons (abs (setq r (daleVuelta v))) l)) (setq l (cons v l)) ) ) (vl-list->string (if (minusp r) (cons (if (= r -48) 49 (car l)) l) l)) ) (defun ventanea (/ p no se) (if (listp (setq p (cadr l))) (progn (redraw) (grvecs (list -7 pv (setq no (list (car pv) (cadr p))))) (grvecs (list -7 pv (setq se (list (car p) (cadr pv))))) (grvecs (list -7 no p)) (grvecs (list -7 se p)) ) ) ) (defun actTX (e / le) (entmod (subst (cons 1 tx) (assoc 1 (setq le (entget e))) le)) (setq tx (dameTexto tx)) nil ) (defun listOrda (cj pr / e n l) (vl-sort (while (setq e (ssname cj (setq n (if n (1+ n) 0)))) (setq l (cons (list (cdr (assoc 10 (entget e))) e) l)) ) '(lambda (a b) (< (distance pr (car a)) (distance pr (car b))) ) ) ) (setq error0 *error* *error* errores ) (setq acdoc (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object))) (while (>= (boole 1 (getvar "UNDOCTL") 8) 8) (vla-endundomark acdoc) ) (princ (setq s "Select PREVIOUS number text or type it...

Calculating an axis using angle bisectors a) Attempt number 1 (it was my first impulse, but I came up with a better one later) Advantages: - Pure LISP: doesn't depend on Express Tools, - It's faster Disadvantages: - The result isn't as good as @GP_'s "c:CPL" - It only accepts LWPOLYLINES and ignores arcs Basically, the approach is to obtain angle bisectors on each polyline, extend them to the other reference polyline, and use their midpoints. The result is acceptably good, but not as accurate as c:CPL.

It will require more modification than just extending the bulge list - you also need to calculate the positions of the additional vertices. However, I really liked your suggestion (and it's also consistent with my existing Box Text program), and so I've updated the program to Version 1.3 to incorporate a new Filleted Rectangle textbox option (you may need to refresh the page to view the new version). Enjoy!

I guess you could do like (setq i (+ i 0.01)) 16 vertex poly would then create a 1600 vertex poly And then run overkill on the created polyline to remove all collinear vertexes.

Here's a proof-of-concept example for consideration - (defun update-attributes ( / bln idx ins map obj sel tag val ) (setq ;; List of ;; ((lower-left point) (upper-right point) "attribute value") map '( (( 0.0 0.0) (10.0 10.0) "abc") ((20.0 20.0) (30.0 30.0) "def") ) ;; Block name bln "YourBlock" tag "YourTag" ) (setq bln (strcase bln) tag (strcase tag) ) (if (setq sel (ssget "_X" (list '(0 . "INSERT") '(66 . 1) (cons 2 (strcat "`*U*," bln))))) (repeat (setq idx (sslength sel)) (setq idx (1- idx) obj (vlax-ename->vla-object (ssname sel idx)) ) (cond ( (/= bln (strcase (vlax-get-property obj (if (vlax-property-available-p obj 'effectivename) 'effectivename 'name))))) ( (setq ins (vlax-get obj 'insertionpoint) val (vl-some '(lambda ( itm ) (if (vl-every '<= (car itm) ins (cadr itm)) (caddr itm))) map) ) (vl-some '(lambda ( att ) (if (= tag (strcase (vla-get-tagstring att))) (progn (if (vlax-write-enabled-p att) (vla-put-textstring att val) ) t ) ) ) (vlax-invoke obj 'getattributes) ) ) ) ) ) ) (defun block-position-callback ( rtr arg ) (if (and arg (wcmatch (strcase (car arg) t) "qsave,save,saveas,plot,publish")) (update-attributes) ) (princ) ) ( (lambda ( key ) (vl-load-com) (foreach rtr (cdar (vlr-reactors :vlr-command-reactor)) (if (= key (vlr-data rtr)) (vlr-remove rtr) ) ) (vlr-set-notification (vlr-command-reactor key '( (:vlr-commandwillstart . block-position-callback) ) ) 'active-document-only ) (update-attributes) (princ) ) "block-position-reactor" ) There is no command to run the program: simply amend the block name, tag name, and map at the top of the code to suit your setup, and then load the program - the attributes will be automatically updated when the drawing is saved or plotted.

I did write something once to find and launch documents but its a little over the top probably. But Bigal also had a good suggestion , a program called everything.

@Steven P See what this does. again will use default browser.

actually quite nice Steven , think I'm gonna add this to one of my toolbars (if there's still room that is...) for opening things I also like : https://lee-mac.com/open.html

also shell commands - I've only used that once though: (defun c:GetGoogle ( / SearchTerm PageBase) (setq SearchTerm (getstring "Enter Serch Term: [use '+' between terms] ")) ;; get search term, '+' between words (setq PageBase "(command \"shell\" \"start microsoft-edge:http://google.com/search?q=") ;; google address (setq Page (strcat PageBase SearchTerm "\")" )) ;; google + search term address (eval (read Page)) ;; open 'Page' ) Guess what this does....

Even more reason to give weight to the opinions of those who have more experience in this area To the man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

You can actually calculate it, here is the code (you can change it for your purposes): (setq ptlist (mapcar 'cdr (vl-remove-if-not (function (lambda (x) (= (car x) 10))) (setq ent (entget (car (entsel "\nSelect the line:")))))) ;; point list sum_x 0 sum_y 0 vertices (cdr (assoc 90 ent)) ;; number of vertices for LWPOLYLINE ) (foreach pt ptlist (setq sum_x (+ sum_x (car pt))) ;; sum only the X vertices values ) (foreach pt ptlist (setq sum_y (+ sum_y (cadr pt))) ;; sum only the Y vertices values ) (setq sum_x (/ sum_x vertices) ;; dividing the total sum X by the number of vertices sum_y (/ sum_y vertices) ;; dividing the total sum Y by the number of vertices pt (list sum_x sum_y) ;; geometric center ) Below are the pictures with geometric center for open and closed polyline (picture 1 open, picture 2 closed). Picture 1. Picture 2. This is true. Best regards.

Load VT , start with VT (or C:VT) Click on one of the attdef's , you get the main dialog Click on setup (bottom right) and change difference to 5 , click on ok to return to main dialog Finaly click on Renum and select all attdefs , enter, done... VT uses grread in a constant loop so exit with escape, cancel or spacebar that will get you in quick menu and you can escape / Quit / cancel from there. Not all buttons will work because some are company specific like revision but for now it should get you what you need. VT.LSP

@Steven P did trusted paths above including check if running Bricscad which does not have trusted paths. Another way to push lisps to a pc is you can via lisp unzip a ZIP file to a location, advantage is only one file rather than copying a whole directory. I use this as part of install lisps. Its super fast. Just need a "Filename" (startapp (strcat "powershell -command Expand-Archive -Path '" filename "' -DestinationPath 'C:/xxx-CAD-TOOLS' -FORCE")) (alert "programs unzipped to C:/xxx-CAD-TOOLS")

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 .

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:

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

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)

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 .

This returns the serial number of the motherboard.

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 .

@leonucadomi @PGia I'm attaching a new version V.3 that can also renumber block attributes. It also includes some other new features. However, I'm letting you know that <Something different> is going on 'holidays' and won't be serving any more requests for a while I'm attaching the description and new features of V.3: - Individual creation/renumbering of TEXTs and MTEXTs based on the cursor position - Multiple renumbering of TEXTs/MTEXTs via selection window (option key 'V') based on proximity to the first corner indicated on the screen of the selection window. That is: if the selection window is from Northwest to Southeast, the renumbering increment will be in order from least to greatest distance from the Northwest corner Added in this version: - Ability to detect and renumber block attributes using the same criteria as 'TEXT' and 'MTEXT' attributes. (Note: This may not work for block attributes with multiple levels of nesting.) - New functionality (by pressing the 'A' key) to change text alignment on the fly. A preview of how it works: SDifferent_V3.mp4 SDifferent_V3.lsp

@EIA You can use a dynamic block. А-А.dwg

Only one DIMALIGNED call is required, e.g.: (defun c:mydimalign ( / e p x ) (if (and (setq e (car (entsel))) (= "LWPOLYLINE" (cdr (assoc 0 (setq x (entget e))))) ) (foreach g x (cond ( (/= 10 (car g))) ( p (command "_.dimaligned" p (setq p (cdr g)) "@5<180")) ( (setq p (cdr g))) ) ) ) (princ) )

@pondpepo9 I can't tell you if what you are looking for exists unless you can be more specific on what you want. Ideally, post a DWG with the Before and After and explain in more detail what the workflow should be. Then if someone has something they are willing to share, write, or alter - we can let you know. PLEASE NOTE: This is not a forum just to order up free programs. We prefer helping those who wish to learn programming and need a place to start, which is the purpose of this forum.
