Tcase

[Zorg]

Hey Guys,

 

Im still very limited to what i can do with lisp; recently i've been experimenting with shorting command lengths. I thought i'd make on for the tcase function but you have to click to specify what case you want to make the selected text. Is there a varible for each one of them? (UPPER, lower, Sentance, Title.. ect)

 

Thanks in advance

Take a look at the tcase.lsp in the Express folder.

 

The mode is stored as a variable, and can be retrieved using:

(acet-getvar '("ACET-TCASE-MODE"))

couldn't get this to work for upper case, I'm obviously well out of my league

 

(defun c:tc ( / lst )
(defun acet-tcase-ui-cmd ( / ans def lst )

(setq def (acet-getvar '("ACET-TCASE-MODE")))
(if (not def)
    (setq def "Upper")
);if
(initget "Sentence Lower Upper Title toGgle")
(setq ans (getkword 
           (acet-str-format "\nSelect case [sentence/Lower/Upper/Title/toGgle] <%1>: "
                            def
           )
          );getkword
);setq
(if (not ans)
    (setq ans def)
);if
(acet-setvar (list "ACET-TCASE-MODE" ans 3)) ;; store it in the drawing and in the profile

(list ans)
);defun acet-tcase-ui-cmd
(princ / )

How are you trying to shorten it - at the moment I thought it is just a dialog and a selection - I don't see where it could be shortened, unless you created a function for each setting in the dialog

tcase has a commandline version of what you are working towards:

Hi All,
Reviving an old thread
Any reason why this stopped working in AutoCAD 2025?

Worked in 2024 and prior.

(acet-getvar '("ACET-TCASE-MODE"))

Get the following error:
; error: no function definition: ACET-AUTOLOAD2
