How to make blocks change over a certain height
drafting3 posted a topic in The CUI, Hatches, Linetypes, Scripts & Macros
Hi all, I have a dynamic block of some door hinges. Depending on the height of the door, depends on the type & quantity of hinges used. I was wondering if it is possible to have a block that detects height? If I insert the hinge block onto my drawing, and snap the base point of the block to the bottom left of the desired door, stretch the pick point to the top, I would like it to automatically change from 2x small hinges (for doors under 312mm high), to 2x large hinges (for doors under 1000mm), and finally to 3x large hinges (for doors over 1000mm)? I have attached a PDF for visual reference to what I'm talking about. I have no idea on any 'Lisp/VBA/Scripts' in AutoCAD, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, drafting3. -
VBA Selction sets. Select a list of blocks that exist on a specific layer
callvey posted a topic in .NET, ObjectARX & VBA
Hi I have this code; Sub selectABlockOnALayer() Dim sset As AcadSelectionSet Set sset = ThisDrawing.SelectionSets.Add("EXCEPTIONS-BLOCK3") Dim filterType As Variant Dim filterData As Variant Dim p1(0 To 2) As Double Dim p2(0 To 2) As Double Dim grpCode(0 To 1) As Integer grpCode(0) = 8 grpCode(1) = 2 filterType = grpCode Dim grpValue(0 To 1) As Variant grpValue(0) = "FXPM" grpValue(1) = "4PLUG" filterData = grpValue sset.Select acSelectionSetAll, p1, p2, filterType, filterData Debug.Print "Entities: " & str(sset.count) sset.Delete End Sub I understand the code only selects 1 type of block on a layer but I cant even get that to work! I am trying to select 89 different types of block that exist on a specific layer. Is this something that can be done using VB? Any advice would be great. Thanks Tom- 2 replies

I created a drawing that varies hole spacing on a peice of angle iron using parameters,but it would be very beneficial to incorporate if-then statements to control the value of some of parameters based on the value of other parameters. An example of this is, if d1 parameter = 14 then d2parameter = 3 elesif d1 parameter = 15 then d2 parameter = 2. I got this idea from iLogic in Inventor, which is very easy to use. Im aware AutoCAD does not have this functionallity, but I think programing such as VBA could help me with my issue. I do not have a strong programing backround so any advise is appretiated.

how to set ShadePlot when printing model space to PNG? - 2012 vba
ljbartel posted a topic in .NET, ObjectARX & VBA
I'm trying to plot model space to PNG using VBA. How do I set ShadePlot=Shaded and Quality=Maximum? These settings don't seem to be stored in the pc3 file and ActiveLayout doesn't have a ShadePlot or quality property. I need to set these to get filled text and lines in the png file. Thanks, -
vba equivalent for vlax-curve-getClosestPointTo ? - to measure perpendicular distance
DS-precast posted a topic in .NET, ObjectARX & VBA
Hello All I'm trying to write a vba routine which allows me to get the starting width and length of a polyline shape by specifying three points. The polyline will usually be made up of orthographic straight lines (but not always) Points 1 and 2 are the start and end points of the first side, from which I get the starting width and angle of the first side. Point 3 is a point anywhere on the opposite side. The length of the bay is the perpendicular distance between Point 3 and the first side (a line joining Points 1 & 2). I have written a (crude) LISP routine using vlax-curve-getClosestPointTo, but I now would like to write a vba routine to achieve the same thing. The purpose of the routine is to assist in the production of pre-cast floor layout drawings. The polyline shape would be a bay in a building drawing; the width would provide the pre-cast beam length; the length would provide the length of flooring to fill. Can anybody please help or point me in the right direction?

Link between Autocad dimensions and Excel cells
Taochuen posted a topic in AutoLISP, Visual LISP & DCL
Maybe someone can help me out here. Is it possible that I can create a link between dimensions (width & length) of a rectangle in AutoCAD, and two cells in a pre-existing Excel sheet; so when I modify the size of this rectangle in AutoCAD, the cells will also get updated? I'm using AutoCAD 2002, 2006 & Excel 2003. -

I am working on a routine that, at one point, goes into a Do loop and reacts to keystroke input via the GetAsyncKeystroke API. The routine looks at the arrow keys and a couple others and translates those keystrokes into activating flip and angle states of the dynamic block selected--giving the user and interactive tool for block manipulation. Anyway, the issue I'm having is that when the loop is complete, all of the keystrokes pressed while in the loop come rushing into the command line. I've been very careful to choose keys for the routine which do not have a command or shortcut associated with them. However, the UP arrow key is the kicker. I would like to keep it in the routine because it's obvious when using the others. Plus, even if I don't use it, I'm sure users will still hit it while using the other arrow keys. What I would like to be able to do, is prevent all of those keystrokes from going back into the command line when the sub is complete. I've tried using the SetKeyboardState API after each keystroke to try to cover my tracks. But, it doesn't do anything. My guess is that there is some keystroke queue that needs to be cleared prior to exiting the sub. Does anyone know if it exists and, if so, how to clear it? If it doesn't exist, is there some Acad variable I can turn off? Is there a system variable, etc.....? I've briefly looked at keystroke hooks, but they seem awfully involved and complicated and I'm not even sure if it will do what I want. Any help?????? Oh, and yes I know, I should quit using vba for .NET.....I know. Also, I have no interest in converting my code into lisp. I can use lisp to do some very basic tasks. I could use lisp to set a variable if need be, but I don't want to go "all out" with it. Thanks in advance. Here's a snippet of the code: Do U = GetAsyncKeyState(VK_UP) D = GetAsyncKeyState(VK_DOWN) L = GetAsyncKeyState(VK_LEFT) R = GetAsyncKeyState(VK_RIGHT) A = GetAsyncKeyState(VK_RCONTROL) 'Ret = GetAsyncKeyState(VK_RETURN) 'Space = GetAsyncKeyState(VK_SPACE) S = GetAsyncKeyState(VK_RSHIFT) If (Rot >= 0 And Rot <= 45) Or (Rot >= 135 And Rot <= 225) Or Rot >= 315 Then If HasH And (U < 0 Or D < 0) Then Set objDyn = DynProps(h) If Hflip = 0 Then objDyn.Value = 1 objRef.Update objRef.Highlight True Exit Do Else objDyn.Value = 0 objRef.Update objRef.Highlight True Exit Do End If ElseIf HasV And (R < 0 Or L < 0) Then Set objDyn = DynProps(v) If Vflip = 0 Then objDyn.Value = 1 objRef.Update objRef.Highlight True Exit Do Else objDyn.Value = 0 objRef.Update objRef.Highlight True Exit Do End If ElseIf A < 0 And HasRot Then Set objDyn = DynProps(t) objDyn.Value = Rad - (¶ / 2) objRef.Update objRef.Highlight True Exit Do ElseIf S < 0 Then 'Ret < 0 Or Space < 0 Then Done = True Exit Do End If Else If HasV And (U < 0 Or D < 0) Then Set objDyn = DynProps(v) If Vflip = 0 Then objDyn.Value = 1 objRef.Update objRef.Highlight True Exit Do Else objDyn.Value = 0 objRef.Update objRef.Highlight True Exit Do End If ElseIf HasH And (R < 0 Or L < 0) Then Set objDyn = DynProps(h) If Hflip = 0 Then objDyn.Value = 1 objRef.Update objRef.Highlight True Exit Do Else objDyn.Value = 0 objRef.Update objRef.Highlight True Exit Do End If ElseIf A < 0 And HasRot Then Set objDyn = DynProps(t) objDyn.Value = Rad - (¶ / 2) objRef.Update objRef.Highlight True Exit Do ElseIf S < 0 Then 'Ret < 0 Or Space < 0 Then Done = True Exit Do End If End If Loop

I am building a program in visual basic to select certain layers and change their color to outline a certain path on a layer diagram. I need to program a clear button that sets all of the layer colors back to color 7 as efficiently as possible any help would be appreciated Secondly and less important I was trying to figure out a way to select all of the text in the selected layers and export them to excel to build an effected equipment list. )I'm not sure if this is even possible) Any help would be greatly appreciated

I have been trying to figure this out for a couple of days now. The only thing I could find is this LISP that takes the Ellipse properties and uses them to creat an arc. When I use this, the start and end angles are not correct in the drawing. Ellipses must have been drawn in a different UCS). I have tried to get the LISP to use the start and end points of the ellipse along with the radius and center point. For the life of me I cannot figure it out. If anyone knows how to do this please let me know. *NOTE* Elllipses that I am trying to convert have the same minor and major radii. Thanks in advance!!

Hi All, is it a way to use vba code directly from within Visual LISP? Assume that we use this visual lisp code: (vla-addcustominfo (vla-get-summaryinfo (vla-get-activedocument (Vlax-get-acad-object)) ) "Key" "Value" ) Is it possible to use: ActiveDocument.SummaryInfo.AddCustomInfo "Key" "Value" inside visual lisp program?

Hi guys. I have written some code in VB for autocad and for the moment i am declaring the coordinates in xyz axis as following: Private Sub CreatePoints() SidePoints(0) = 400: SidePoints(1) = -105.25: SidePoints(2) = 215 SidePoints(3) = N( - 400: SidePoints(4) = -105.25: SidePoints(5) = 215 SidePoints(6) = 400: SidePoints(7) = 0: SidePoints( = 215 SidePoints(9) = N( - 400: SidePoints(10) = 0: SidePoints(11) = 215....... For example sidepoints(0),sidepoints(1),sidepoints(2) (x,y,z) are the coordinates for one point. It would be great if i could just write Sidepoints(400,105.25,215). Is there a simpler way to declare coordinates or that is the only method?

Hello, I've made one very useful tool. It's called MLINE SPLIT and you guessed what it does. However it doesn't work on first and second vertices (1 and 2 vertex), and that is real mystery for me. Why are these vertices so different than all the other vertices. Below is my VBA code: Public Sub MLineSplit() On Error GoTo eh Dim ent As AcadEntity Dim p1 As Variant Dim p2 As Variant Dim x As Double Dim y As Double Dim atst As Double Dim min_atst As Double Dim taskas As Double Dim atst_nustatytas As Boolean Dim dblVertices() As Double Dim dblVerticesCnt As Double Dim dblVertices2() As Double Dim dblVerticesCnt2 As Double Dim sset As AcadSelectionSet Dim perdavimui As Variant Dim obj As AcadMLine Dim obj2 As AcadMLine Dim varpnt As Variant Dim krd(2) As Double Dim aa As Integer Dim objEnt As AcadMLine Dim objEnt2 As AcadMLine ThisDrawing.Utility.GetEntity ent, 1, "Select MLINE: " p2 = ThisDrawing.Utility.GetPoint(, "Select the SPLIT point in MLINE: ") x = p2(0): y = p2(1) atst_nustatytas = False dblVerticesCnt = -1 dblVerticesCnt2 = -1 'randam artimiausia If TypeOf ent Is AcadMLine Then 'AcadBlockRef isrinkimas Set obj = ent 'ThisDrawing.SetVariable "CMLSTYLE", obj.StyleName For aa = 0 To UBound(obj.Coordinates) Step 3 'MsgBox Str(obj.Coordinates(aa)) & "," & Str(obj.Coordinates(aa + 1)) & "," & Str(obj.Coordinates(aa + 2)) atst = DistanceBetween(obj.Coordinates(aa), obj.Coordinates(aa + 1), x, y) If (atst_nustatytas = False) Then min_atst = atst atst_nustatytas = True End If If atst min_atst = atst taskas = aa End If Next aa Else MsgBox "Must select MLINE!"

hi, I'm working on a program that should make some work at the office run autonomous. People will be able to ask for drawings and get a general idea of the price of their product. To let it all go automatic I used the AutoEdit() command. So when I now open the drawing it updates everything makes the drawing fit the screen, pauses the program (so the drawing has time to adjust), and prints it as a pdf. so after the update this is the code: 'change zoom ThisApplication.ActiveView.Fit 'pause the program Dim Finish As Single Finish = Timer + 5 DoEvents Do Until Timer >= Finish Loop 'create pdf ThisDocument.PrintManager.SubmitPrint The programs runs great and everything works. BUT, since everything must go automatically I don't want to press the drawing. when user click send on the online form the drawing must do everything by itself. To do so I've made a VB program which does this: 'open inventor Dim InvTmp As Inventor.Application InvTmp = CType(CreateObject("Inventor.Application"), Inventor.Application) 'open the document InvTmp.Documents.Open("C:\Users\Wouter\Desktop\T&A\My Dropbox\knowledge base\Fase 3\html to inventor\nozzle.ipt", True) And for some reason this goes wrong. when the document is open and starts the AutoEdit(), VBA tells me that Timer has an runtime-6 error overflow. I can't find the source of this. everthing works when I click the drawing but I can't get it automated because of this. I can't drop the pause cause else the zoom wouldn't be changed by the time the printing starts (with a half drawing as a result) any ideas about how to fix this?
