  1. Spurred into life by this thread, I thought I'd update an old program of mine. I have created this program to enable a user to extract the layer information from multiple drawings in a directory to either Text/CSV file. Example of XML data output using XSL to display data in a CSS styled HTML Table: Enjoy! Lee Code can be found here
  2. Hi Guys, Hope I've got the right part of the forum for posting this thread... I am trying to import xyz data into AutoCAD using the multiple - point command, however when I paste the data as part of the command line it does not process the points but pastes the data as text into the model space. I hope I have explained this well enough, sorry if I have not. I have also tried using ascpoint.lsp however I struggled to get to grips with making it produce the points on screen. Thanks in advance.
  3. Hi, I'm literaly just starting to use CAD so this might be a silly question, but how would I offset a line more than one distance in a command? Is there like a symbol you put between each distance like 2000;2250;2650 or something along those lines (no pun intended). Again sorry is this is a silly question. thanks

    Multiple block editing help

    Hello, I have a drawing of 300+ blocks which are point data with individual attributes, such as x & y coords, id number, etc. Due to the number and spread of the points, they don't display clearly at any scale. Is it possible to change all the points to, say, a circle or donut, without having to individually edit each block? Many thanks for any help. Alistair:)
  5. Hi, I am looking to lock multiple layers simultaneously by selection window. Or by clicking multiple times. The inbuilt lock layer (_laylck) command does not seem to support selection windows and only does one layer at a time. I would like to do mutiples. I am fairly new to LISP but fairly good at script writing (been on LT for several year, now on full!!!) I found this script on the forum; type "frz" to run lisp (defun c:frz () (setvar "cmdecho" 0) (setq data (enget (car (entsel))))) (setq laynme assoc 8 data)) (setq lay (cdr laynme)) (command "layer" "freeze" lay "") (princ)) Though autocad (2011) throws out an error (see below) Any suggestions on how to modify the above a) to work and b) to do what i want? Or is there a better way? Thanks for your help!
  6. Hi there We need to change +/- 100 symbol drawings we use in P&ID because wa adapt them to new European standard. Changes of all tehse drawings (symbols) has been done and now I want to open an existing P&ID drawing and change all the existing block definitions to the new symbols. can anyone tell me how to do this without doing it for each separate symbol ? thx in advance
  7. I have done a fair bit of web scouring to find a good method for replacing multiple blocks. There are some pretty decent vba codes out there for block replacement, the Office Optimum "Replace Block" tool, for instance worked okay, but you have to buy it. I have also found some effective .NET solutions for importing block definitions from another drawing to override the definitions in the current drawing. However I keep wondering if there is a good (free) solution for replacing and redefining large numbers of blocks using lisp. I am sure it must be doable. I know this has been discussed before here, but I haven't seen anything yet which uses a simple customisable table to handle lots of replacements at once (Please chastise me if I'm wrong). There are lots of 'piece meal' type block replacement lisps on offer, which rely on either specifying block names from drop down lists, or selecting blocks on the screen. I want something which handles lots of block exchanges at once. I would ideally like a lisp which allows me to set up a table of existing block names, with the filepath for the replacement block along side it. I would like it to resemble this lisp for renaming blocks (i.e. using a table): (defun c:renameb (/ btable badt) (setq btable '(("OLDNAME#1" . "NEWNAME#1") ("OLDNAME#2" . "NEWNAME#2") ("OLDNAME#3" . "NEWNAME#3") ("OLDNAME#4" . "NEWNAME#4") ("OLDNAME#5" . "NEWNAME#5"))) (foreach b btable (cond ((and (not (tblsearch "BLOCK" (cdr b))) (tblsearch "BLOCK" (car b))) (command "_.RENAME" "_Block" (car b) (cdr b))) ((tblsearch "BLOCK" (cdr b)) (setq badt (cons b badt))))) (and badt (prin1 badt) (alert "Unable To Rename All BLOCKs")) (prin1)) I want a block replacement lisp which uses a table to identify the filepath of the replacement block. I also want the routine to tell AutoCAD to replace the definition of any existing blocks with the same name as the one being brought in. Alanjt notes here that the use of the equals sign in the following line achieves that: (vl-cmdf "_.-insert" (strcat nb "=") nil) I also want to preserve the attribute values in the existing drawing. I want to be able to control the scale of the blocks being brought into the drawing as replacements. I want to ATTSYNC replacement blocks. Marijn incorporated the following in a reply to a thread posted yesterday. See here. (if (tblsearch "BLOCK" "OLDNAMEOFBLOCK") (progn (command "-rename" "b" "OLDNAMEOFBLOCK" "NEWNAMEOFBLOCK") (command "_.-insert" "NEWNAMEOFBLOCK=FILENAME" "y" nil);replaced convert template to new template. (command "_.attsync" "n" "NEWNAMEOFBLOCK") (scl 0.8 "NEWNAMEOFBLOCK");scales block to new scale (blknr13 "NEWNAMEOFBLOCK"); this was command to set a block the a layer. (not included can eb removed) )) This takes care of the ATTSYNC and the scale specification. I'd like the OLDNAMEOFBLOCK and NEWNAMEOFBLOCK to essentially be variables, which draw on a pre-defined table to derive values and then apply the commands. Is this possible? I guess I'd be just as happy to input all the values one by one in an unhealthily long code, but a more streamlined answer would be nice. By the by, Marijn's code aimed to incorporate replacing tag names also, when one block is replaced. Interesting. Haven't tried it out properly yet. I would greatly appreciate some assistance in addressing and integrating the requirements outlined above in one amazing 'table based' lisp. I have already sent a post card to Santa politely asking for this for Christmas, so if I'm unsuccessful here, I always have christmas day as a backup.
  8. Hi, I have a script that will plot layers automatically without me going into layer manager and changing them and then clicking plot. The drawings i will be working with are electrical, they have many layers in one drawing. the layers are not sequentially numbered so makes the script harder to produce. In theory i wanted a vB program were i have check boxes of the layeers and then the layers checked are pasted into the script. Has anyone got any ideas? the script is as follows:
