Rename layout tabs to dwg name + suffix -Help with codes

Thanks Lee Mac for the code you posted here above.

I'm a newb when it comes to LISP but I've modified the Lisp to simply rename the tab to the dwg name if only one layout is present and the Number or Letter option if there's more than 1.

Maybe someone might find this useful.

This may be helpful we number from D01 not D1

; if less than 10
   (if (< (car dwgnum) 10.0) 
     (setq newstr2 (strcat dwgname "-D0"  (rtos sheetnum 2 0)))
     (setq newstr2 (strcat dwgname "-D"  (rtos sheetnum 2 0)))
   )

Also if you want to use A B etc you can use the (chr x) to convert an ascii number code to a string.

You've kind of lost me. How would that fit in the code that I posted.

Also, would (car dwgnum) not be replaced with (length (layoutlist))?

Thanks very much, but go easy. I'm a baby at LISP.

Its part of a bigger program so if say you have layout 3 then it will check for less than 10 and make the string "03" It may be your cnt variable in your code that you may want to look at.

Just got round to checking this. Thanks. I've used LeeMac modified code that I posted here.

I've used instead.

(if (< (length (layoutlist)) 10.0)
(vla-put-name (cdr lay) (strcat tab "-D" (fun (setq cnt (1+ cnt)))))
(vla-put-name (cdr lay) (strcat tab "-D0" (fun (setq cnt (1+ cnt)))))
)

This does 01,02 etc on dwgs with layouts more than 10 instead.

3dwannab Sorry read 1st page only just ignore. It was about not asking for numbers or letters.

Very simple you have swapped the two lines making D as the is less than 10 if you look at my post they are the other way around.

(if (< (length (layoutlist)) 10.0)

(vla-put-name (cdr lay) (strcat tab "-D0" (fun (setq cnt (1+ cnt)))))
       [color="red"](vla-put-name (cdr lay) (strcat tab "-D" (fun (setq cnt (1+ cnt)))))[/color]
)

or 
(if ([color="red"]>[/color] but then its 9 else no 10

Why not a toolbar or a menu saves worrying about saving a enviroment variable. We have more menus and toolbars than c:defuns.

? I don't get it.

Hi to all I found this thread is very interesting and I'm about to post the same scenario of in layout tab..

I found the code of sir 3dwannab, The LSP is additional number or text...

What if you to change the entire name of Layout tab.. Let say For example in the first Layout tab original tab name Layout you going to change it into EE-LT-01(will depend on user what name he/she going to change the tab name)...

If you look at the code here and in the other posts they all use the "vla-put-name" for the particular layout concerned, you can imply basicly any name you want.

sir 3dwannab

Ok ok noted thanks 3dwannab
