Lisp to insert text cod according to data base

I have data base for objects i need lisp when I write code of the object insert

Description as text in autocad

Example

description Code

M20 socket M20

M24 socket M24

M30 socket M30

What i mean when I write M20 lisp insert M20 socket.

It is just a matter of asking the user to specify a point and the text is inserted !

Is not the right time to try your own abilities to write this simple lisp ?

You must be lazy so have a play with this and let me know .

(defun c:Test (/ kw st pt)
 ;; Tharwat 24.08.2015    ;;
 (if
   (and (progn
          (initget 6 "20 24 30")
          (setq kw
                 (getkword
                   "\nSpecify the insertion text key < M(**) socket M(**) > [20,24,30] <Enter = Exit>:"
                 )
          )
        )
        (setq
          st (nth (vl-position kw '("20" "24" "30"))
                  '("M20 socket M20" "M24 socket M24" "M30 socket M30")
             )
        )
   )
    (while (setq pt
                  (getpoint
                    (strcat "\nSpecify insertion point for text < "
                            st
                            " > <Enter = Exit>:"
                    )
                  )
           )
      (entmake (list '(0 . "TEXT")
                     (cons 10 (trans pt 1 0))
                     (cons 11 (trans pt 1 0))
                     (cons 1 st)
                     (cons 7 (getvar 'TEXTSTYLE))
                     (cons 40 (getvar 'TEXTSIZE))
               )
      )
    )

thanks its working

thanks its working

You are welcome .

Enjoy it.

thanks again but I failed to add more descriptions could you help

I Try To add M40 to insert socket 40

I Try To add M40 to insert socket 40

Have a close look .

(and (progn
          (initget 6 "20 24 30 [color=magenta]40[/color]")
          (setq kw
                 (getkword
                   "\nSpecify the insertion text key < M(**) socket M(**) > [20,24,30,[color=magenta]40[/color]] <Enter = Exit>:"
                 )
          )
        )
        (setq
          st (nth (vl-position kw '("20" "24" "30" [color=magenta]"40"[/color]))
                  '("M20 socket M20" "M24 socket M24" "M30 socket M30" [color=magenta]"M40 socket M40"[/color])
             )

   )

thanks a lot Mr. Tharwat

thanks a lot Mr. Tharwat

You're welcome anytime

Here's another approach, to remove an extra step:

(   (lambda nil
       (foreach x '("20" "24" "30" "40")
           (eval
               (list 'defun  (read (strcat "c:m" x)) '( / ins ocs )
                  '(setq ocs (trans '(0 0 1) 1 0 t))
                   (list 'if '(setq ins (getpoint "\nSpecify point for text: "))
                       (list 'entmake
                           (list 'list
                             ''(0 . "TEXT")
                              '(cons 10 (trans ins 1 ocs))
                              '(cons 11 (trans ins 1 ocs))
                              '(cons 40 (getvar 'textsize))
                              '(cons 07 (getvar 'textstyle))
                              '(cons 50 (angle '(0.0 0.0) (trans (getvar 'ucsxdir) 0 ocs t)))
                               (list 'quote (cons 1 (strcat "M" x " Socket")))
                             ''(72 . 1)
                             ''(73 . 2)
                              '(cons 210 ocs)
                           )
                       )
                   )
                  '(princ)
               )
           )
       )
   )
)

The above will define the custom commands: 'M20', 'M24', 'M30', 'M40'.

A couple more suggestions.

If your doing this over and over you could just type M20 with a series of little lisp defuns in one lsip file, (defun c:M20 () ......

Why not even a menu item "Bolts" 20 30 40 etc or a toolbar.

A DCL list select.

If I can get the old screen menu working another way.

There are a lot of choices. Have a go at doing one of the others yourself.

I ALREADY I DID BUT KINDLY TO CHECK WHATS PROPLEM IN M30 , M36 OTHERS WORKING OK .

(defun c:socket (/ kw st pt)

;; Tharwat 24.08.2015 ;;

(if

(and (progn

(initget 16 "M12 M16 M20 M24 M30 M36")

(setq kw

(getkword

"\nSpecify the insertion text key [12,16,20,30,36] :"

)

)

)

(setq

st (nth (vl-position kw '("M12" "M16" "M20" "30" "36"))

'("M12 810220 pcs" "M16 810221 pcs" "M20 810222 pcs" "M24 810223 pcs" "M24 810224 pcs" "M36 810225 pcs")

)

)

)

(while (setq pt

(getpoint

(strcat "\nSpecify insertion point for text

st

" > :"

)

)

)

(entmake (list '(0 . "TEXT")

(cons 10 (trans pt 1 0))

(cons 11 (trans pt 1 0))

(cons 1 st)

(cons 7 (getvar 'TEXTSTYLE))

(cons 40 (getvar 'TEXTSIZE))

)

)

)

)

(princ)

)

Kinly if you correct the lisp just refer to the inputs by diffrent color because i will add my data base and its huge .

Thanks

add my data base and its huge

Just me I would setup a text file with all the data, even different ones, this would be easier than bloating the lisp file. You could have a shortcut for each type but run only 1 master file. Bolts, Bolts and length etc.

I ALREADY I DID BUT KINDLY TO CHECK WHATS PROPLEM IN M30 , M36 OTHERS WORKING OK .

 

 (vl-position kw '("M12" "M16" "M20" "30" "36")

Is the above list the same as the one that I included in my program ?

Sorry for delay in replying.

Yes I changed according to what I wrote. Kindly check what is wrong

kindly to refer by different color for input and output to got possibility to add my data base because for each object (socket) I have code number .

for example when I select

(M20)insert (812020)

(M24)insert (812024) ... etc

the objects which I need to add it is to much .

I hope I got help

thanks
