  1. I Have lisp for placing slope and arrow with polyline and i want enhance this to what i need mention in my drawing file..so i have attached lisp & sample drawing file . and also want to enhance lisp for select all polyline at once, currently lisp select on object at once. thanks. Slope.lsp SLOPE SAMPLE.dwg
  2. MCOLLAR.LSPMCOLLAR.DCL Collar Drawing.dwg Hey Guys yet with another question: I created this DCL that has 5 user input and I would like it to draw this complicated collar for me. Basically, the size of the mast (monopole diameter) is given together with the thickness of the collar plate (which is the same thickness for the ring plate), then there are some fixed values that can be assumed to draw this. Hopefully 1/3 can be drawn and then array at 120 deg. DWG I posted would be a better representative. The number of bolts (5 rows shown on this picture) is only the best fit for the support - I would like it to give me all options to choose from (3 bolt pattern all the way to 9 rows). Then to make it even harder, I would like to create a shop drawing (as shown on dwg) that has detailed plan so it really should be drawn in 4 pieces (for that 1/3 of the pie) to then assign layer and hatch. Can someone drag me to the right direction and show me how to draw stuff with different arcs and trims and offsets PLEASE! I was so excited to finally show drop down menu on a DCL, now that is done, I do not know how to draw an arc with specific geometry in lisp. Thanks

    PDF

    I had a problem in the past whereby the first page appeared blank and I pulled out my hair to fix it - now that this problem is over I am back to yet give it another try to see if I can make this routine successful. Upon entering "PUB" command I would have three options (1st one uses autopub) (second is the one with the problem) (3rd only sets the correct page setup). I tried to use ghostscript but with no success - I then jupmed in to use another application as shell command (PDFTK builder) but that did not panout either. I would like basically the "PDF-SELECTION" option to select page setup, then select layout, then create and combine PDF. shout out to LEE MAC, BIGAL, ROY_43 for their earlier responses and helping me get started. the question is: how can I combine single PDFs with their correct layout names into one pdf file with the project name? I read about the discussions on this platform between @Roy_043 and @BIGAL but could not make the combined pdf. Please help!

Any solution? 2) it appears that the above routine (robocopy routine) happens to execute in strangest of circumstances for example when I publish or before attempting to autosave/ backup save I see my message hinting there is an attempt to robocopy even though the routine is in acaddoc and my understanding is that acaddoc only loads when I start of Autocad at the beginning not between commands. Thanks

  6. @Lee Mac hopefully you can answer me in your earliest convenience as almost everyone is moving from offices to homes, I am trying to find a way to update PCs. Basically, the overwrite function does not seem to work for me - if I make an update, I am trying to have to so that it updates the files and folders but it does not seem to be happening. I have been twitching this routine but still having the same problem. It does work when I do not have the initial folder but when it exists, it just does not overwrite it. Could you please help! Thanks, As you can see, I am trying to update if "Update CADSET.txt" is updated to then overwrite TX Cad Config folder from T to C drives and overwrite everything (folders and files).

  7. Hey guys, I wrote a routine that automatically change the setting or copy files from server onto C drive. What I am looking for is an idea to invoke these changes each time I make any changes on the source folder. I do not want to search for changes, but rather I was thinking let's say acaddoc evaluate something or through a lisp I tell it to < Update is available. Do you want to update? > for directories on anyone's C Drive if I make any changes on the source directory. I am looking for an idea... I have about 10-15 folders and sub-folders with all bunch of extensions on the server - when I finished editing them, I was thinking to write a routine to say < Ready to distribute? Yes or No > on my end. When I say "Yes", then for computers that are mapped on C drive, they would get a message "Update is available. Do you want to update? yes or no" I am just fiddling with this idea - any better idea? I DO NOT want to invoke it every time a session is starting or autocad is starting - rather a creative way to invoke it... on a different note, How do I evaluate blah.txt for a date change, if outdated then execute the copy routine, if not business as usual? Thanks guys
  8. Hey Guys, I am trying to write a lisp that has 4 or 5 list boxes. "LS1" would be the main list that appears on the first pane. When you click on "General" then second list box then would contain "LS2" as a sub category on the second pane. Then, if for example "LDF" from the second list/ pane is selected, "LS3" would show up on third list box and hopefully upon double clicking, it would insert a block from "LS3" list. Hopefully someone can follow my logic here and provide some help as to how to go about it. Thanks guys.

  9. hey guys, I am hoping someone can tell me what is wrong with my cad. I have been fiddling around with the autopublish to generate PDF and it seems somehow a variable or something was made incorrect. As a result, each time I publish say PDF or hard copy, first page/ tab of any project appears blank. This seems to be consistant no matter if I change my page setup under publish to any predefined setting. (1st. page is always either blank or extremely small that appears as though it is blank). Any suggestions? Does anyone know what is wrong? Thanks

  11. hey Guys, I am hoping someone can let me know what is incorrect about my approach here. I have created 2 routines: IMP-CUI: which renames the old "acad.cuix" and bring in my updated one (do not ask why I did not use "vl-file-copy" method as the result was not satisfactory for me anyways). 2016N: which import the profile from a server location and renames the "...(US Metric)" first to then replace it with an updated one with the same name. The result is quite random when I try it on different computers with the same version. Although I can see that the profile is imported, it does not always carry my setting. I keep losing my supported path, etc... each time I twick the routine. My acad.cuix is updated and when I import it manually seems to have all of my options including the checked and unchecked boxes and supported files. I am tried of trying really! the funny thing is that my partial cuix menus load with no issue, but my preferences on option setting is random even on the same computer when I reset setting to default. Can anyone help PLEASE! Recently enough BIGAL was telling me something about .MNR or .MNL files but I have no idea how to process those. Thanks, Bother in need! hah!

  12. Does anyone know where the file is saved each time you load the "LIST" that you saved on this amazing LISP? http://www.lee-mac.com/bfind.html The reason I am asking is because I would like to transfer my list onto another computer but I cannot find where the file is located when you save your list to then "Load search items list"! Thanks
  13. Would anyone help me find and change certain setting I would like to change under Options or preferences: 1) I would like to load and unload a buck of CUIX files - but as always the menu will not show up - I have to then manually do CUILOAD and unload and reload the menus to appear on menu bar. 2) This is taken from BIGAL: (vlax-dump-object (vla-get-files (vla-get-preferences (vlax-get-Acad-object))) T) which helped me a lot in finding many of the settings but I still need to change many more. 3) Anyone please help to find: ; SET OPEN AND SAVE TAB/FILE SAVE/SAVE AS: ; AutoCAD 2013 Drawing (*.dwg) ; AND ; UNDER FILE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: ; UNCHECK: "Automatic Save" ; SYSTEM TAB/GENERAL OPTIONS ; CHECK "Beep on error in user input" my biggest problem is loading and unloading that results in menus being loaded but not shown on the menu bar: ; UNLOAD "ACA.CUIX" ; LOAD "ACA 20##" ; LOAD ACA FROM "C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\ACA 20##\enu\Support\ACAD.cuix" ; LOAD ACAD.cuix ; CUSTOM.cuix ; Appmanager.cuix ; acetmain.cuix ; Featuredapps.cuix ; Modeldoc.cuix ; RadicalPurge.cuix I posted something similar and no one replied and many of my questions were resolved by searching through web. But Can anyone help me with those please? Thanks
  14. Below is BIGAL`s wonder from 2011. All of which are amazing and never knew could be done! Imagine a 2020 BIGAL!!! Basically what I was trying to accomplish was to setup or configure my computer to then save the setting for any other but some tasks are proven impossible or not done efficiently. I did use to import workspace and get some of the task done but if there is a way to combine all the features with a lisp, I would be more satisfied. That is to be able to change a certain controls within "Options" settings as well as adding search path for lisp, trusted path, printed path and other controls. Does anyone have a hand into this or a way of instructions as to how my tasks can be done? presently, I have to add each item on the list manually, CUI settings, control other settings and set some criteria one by one. Is there any genius that can help me achieve this? Also due to variety in autocad version, I have to constantly save my workspace, then use a "Hotfix" by Autodesk to suit the version blah blah blah...

  15. Could someone let me know how to use put-string to arrange text by colour so that example: all content in colour #2 remain but contents in colour # 0 and #4 are removed without changing any of the text format or style? I looked up Wmatch but it seems I cannot get anywhere with that. (setq txt(vla-get-TextString(vlax-ename->vla-object (car (entsel))))) (vla-put-textstring obj ...) not quite sure how to deal with : "\\pxse1.01;{\\C2;TEXT1\\PTEST2\\PTEST3}\\P{\\C4;TEST4\\PTEST5\\PTEST6}" to separate specific colours and merge them. I am also thinking if I could ask which colour to remain, then any other colour could just be removed - this way not complication would arise from conditioning the colour numbers. it could simply be Colour #0 + any colour stored on "Colnum" variable to stay. (setq Colnum (getint "\nWhich Colour to Stay")) Any ideas? sample.dwg
  16. I am trying to retrieve the current dimension style on an open cad file to execute some of my other lisps instead of (Alert blah...), but am not successful. Could someone take a quick look at this and let me know where I am getting it wrong? i had a quick look at tblnext and tblsearch and I think it is right! but maybe VLA could do this more efficiently - I have not gotten too deep into LISP though. I also have two standards ( "STANDARD" and "Standard") depending on which one is the current dim style my code changes. is there a way to make it Case sensitive? ; condition based on current dim stlye ; "Tx Arial 1.65" "Tx CityBlueprint 2.38" "Standard" (defun c:test (/ D1) (setq D1 (tblnext "DIMSTYLE")) ; getting current dimstyle name (setq D1 (cdr (assoc 2 D1))) ; getting dimstyle name (while (/= D1 nil) ; if dimstyle is not nil then proceed (setq D1(tblsearch "DIMSTYLE" D1)) ;; searching for dimstyle (cond ( (= (cdr (assoc 2 D1)) "Standard") (alert "Standard is selected") ) ( (= (cdr (assoc 2 D1)) "Tx Arial 1.65") (alert "Tx Arial 1.65 is selected") ) ( (= (cdr (assoc 2 D1)) "Tx CityBlueprint 2.38") (alert "Tx CityBlueprint 2.38 is selected") ) ); end cond ); end while (princ) ) Please help SAMPLE DIMENSION.dwg
  17. I am not even sure how to pose this question - so here she goes: I am not quite sure if you can select content with different colours within a text (see attachment). The code below only finds text colour selected by the layer. Is there a way? My whole intention is to sort them so that say if I pick BELL (colour 150) or RORGERS (colour 22) then the white text strings and colour 150 remains and the rest be removed - sorting by colour and merging the text condition the selection and colour!!! Possible? (setq ss (ssget "X" '((0 . "*TEXT")(62 . 1)))) if yes...how??? text sample.dwg
  18. I am trying to make this work but sometimes it works and sometimes does not. Please bare in mind that I just learned POLAR function and it may not the efficient way. The radius through fillet I am choosing sometimes works but sometimes comes up with an error that radius is too big. Is there another way to deal with drawing this or could there be a way to add arc without fillet? could someone also please explain the ssget function and how I can select any object i create and store under a variable? say, in this case I want to select all my lines: how would I do it?

  19. Hey guys, I am trying to create a label (see attached dwg) using lisp to; upon entering the command: 1) ask for prefix then keep this prefix in memory (in this case BM-SC- let's say) 2) I would just enter the number associated with any block until i change my prefix 3) create a block with the criteria (dwg attached) and attributes so I can edit the text if need be 4) simply insert it on paperspace 5) also to auto adjust the box width so it remain a certain width but if it exceeds blah mm then to fit and center text within the maximum box size instead of extending the box. I do not know where to begin or how to handle this. Is it even possible with a lisp to accomplish all this? I do have this as a dynamic block but it seems to be a redundant task after a dozen paste - I have to fit the text or adjust the box. Thanks label.dwg
  20. Could someone guide me through this challenge: I am trying to create a lisp to have sub commands (I am not even sure what you would call it) - and when I search sub command I get a bunch of none sense. My first list is: [Bolt/U-bolt/Pipe/Angle/Plate/Hss-square] then under "Bolt": [1-2/5-8/3-4] under "U-bolt": [1-2/5-8] under "Pipe": [General/73/89/102/114] under "Angle": only on dynamic block with all sizes under "Plate": only on dynamic block with all sizes under "Hss-square": [Square/Rectangle] I have no idea how to make sub commands or how to call them in order to call insert command. all blocks are on the same dwg, but they have funky name that does not represent their shape only the size. so on this lisp: each time I select a "sub-menu" for the lack of better words, I then would like to insert the block. Example: Bolt > 5-8 > then magically insert "blah" block from its insertion point. (if(not ttc:Mode)(setq ttc:Mode "Pipe")) (initget "Bolt U-bolt Pipe Angle Plate Hss-square") (setq oldMode ttc:Mode ttc:Mode (getkword (strcat "\nSpecify mode [Bolt/U-bolt/Pipe/Angle/Plate/Hss-square] <" ttc:Mode ">: ")) conFlag T paseStr "" ); end setq (if(null ttc:Mode)(setq ttc:Mode oldMode)) Could someone help me with this please?

  23. Could someone take a look at this lisp and let me know how I can get true north based on the North Symbol attached to remember my last pick so I can enter values as angle once the true north is set - I am thinking something like Offset command that keeps last entry if it is at all possible. Attached is the north symbol I am using on my projects but to orient antenna blocks to say 40 degrees from true north, then I have to go through selection process instead of value entry each time.

  24. I did use STEAL lisp by MAC LEE before but since I am not inserting blocks anymore (Thousands of blocks on master general blocks), also because STEAL mess up the draw order on the hatch in dynamic blocks, is there a way: Upon entering a command to copy a selection coordinates from the source file and let user choose a place to paste them on the destination file; example: Cables <Enter> (go to D:/blocks/general blocks.dwg) and copy from specific coordinates and let me paste them to where I want on my current cad file? Thanks
  25. I have seen so many lisps to change the draw order or send hatch to back, but would there be a way to: My dynamic blocks are on layers 0 and defpoint; 1) upon inserting a dynamic block 2) preserve the block draw order or 3) send wipeout at the very back 4) Defpoint layer lines, plines, arc, circles before wipeout 5) Solid hatch before wipeout 6) Hatch ANSI32 & ANSI33 on top of Solid hatch 7) Text or dimension in Defpoint layer on top of solid hatch 8)All lines,plines, arcs, circles, etc at the very top if someone scrambles something I would really appreciate it.
