Block into multileader text

[boheng]

:Dthank you very much!!!!!!

[BIGAL]

have a look at this code snippet should help

 

(foreach att (vlax-invoke (vlax-ename->vla-object (ssname SS1 0 )) 'getattributes)
       (if (= oldtag1 (strcase ([color="red"]vla-get-tagstring[/color] att)))

I get the same thing.

 

Have you managed to get the Lisp to copy/paste the Block Description on the Multileader?

 

This is what happens when using the Lisp:

 

Command: TEST

Select block:

Specify leader landing location: _.mleader

Specify leader arrowhead location or [leader Landing first/Content first/Options] : _non

Specify leader landing location: _non

Specify landing distance : *Description of Block appears in command line*

Specify landing distance :

 

And then it disappears - Opens an empty Text box for me to write a Text on the MLeader..

 

The BNameLabel seems to work though

(defun c:BNameLabel (/ ent entl obj)
 (cond ((not (setq ent (car (entsel "\nSelect block: ")))))
       ((not (eq (cdr (assoc 0 (entget ent))) "INSERT")) (princ "\nInvalid object!"))
       ((setq pt (getpoint "\nSpecify first point: "))
        (setq entl (entlast))
        (vl-cmdf "_.mleader" "_non" pt "\\")
        (while (eq (logand 1 (getvar 'CMDACTIVE)) 1) (vl-cmdf ""))
        (if (not (equal entl (setq entl (entlast))))
          (vla-put-textstring
            (vlax-ename->vla-object entl)
            (vlax-get-property
              (setq obj (vlax-ename->vla-object ent))
              (if (vlax-property-available-p obj 'EffectiveName)
                'EffectiveName
                'Name
              )
            )
          )
        )
       )
 )
 (princ)
)
(vl-load-com)
(princ)

 

 

 

This is great, but someone can do the same as this, but to get the layer name?

Many Thanks

Replace:

            (vlax-get-property
              (setq obj (vlax-ename->vla-object ent))
              (if (vlax-property-available-p obj 'EffectiveName)
                'EffectiveName
                'Name
              )
            )

 

with:

(cdr (assoc 8 (entget ent)))

Hi...I've been trying to use the lisp codes in this conversation to automatically label a block with its name, description or, better yet, its defined attribute. So far, I've only been able to get a multileader with a text field that prompts me to enter the tag number manually. I'm wanting it to read the blocks information and automatically output this in the text field. What am I doing wrong?

 

[whysoserious]

Can somebody modify this code so that it reads a certain attribute in the block? And if possible, the text height of the multileader to be chosen by the user? I tried modify this myself but with no luck even though so much material can be found, I get all sorts of errors which I have no idea how to fix them.  Thank you

I was wondering if this can be updated/changed, so the TEXT on the multileade becomes a FIELD which points to the block name, so every time I change block's name definition it will be automatically updated on the multileader.  Thanks in advance!

There is an issue with this request that in a field a object ID is used. So if you change the block you will need to update the block ID in the field text, its possibly easier to erase and recreate. Modify the code previously posted.
