numeric text editing (add or subtracting)

March 10, 2010

Hi all,

Good day, i have a drawing that all levels of services are indicated, only i have now a problem regarding by revising the levels of annotation, i have to add it by 200mm, of all the levels and all levels will be edit and maybe i'll be missed some of it,

if a route cud sellect all or selected the text and choose add or subtract then put the valve to be merge(add or subtract) on numeric annotation, and it will be easier and safe, please see image for other clarifications

many thanks,

Try this VisDak:

thanks a million for this, saved me a couple of hours work changing levels on a survey drawing to suit a new datum.

i was particularly impressed how it found numbers in mixed text and numeric text entities.

for Autocad 2010 users (and 2008 onwards i think) add the line

(vl-load-com)

somewhere near the start.

thanks again

for google search - autocad autolisp utility program tool to add or subtract from numeric text numbers.

Thanks squowse, I'm glad you like it I'm yet to hear from VisDak...

Oh yes, that should be there (I normally have that in my ACADDOC.lsp, so don't realise when it is missing). I have updated the above code.

Thanks Lee Mac,

You're welcome VisDak

November 22, 2012

That code has worked perfectly for me Lee. Thanks.

Now unfortunately, I need to do something similar to another survey but on this one the text I need to change is part of a block (containing TEXT and a point). Do you have version that would work with this?

Many thanks

November 22, 2012

Try exploding one of the blocks. If the text is an "attribute" of the block then it will disappear after exploding or change to zero..

This will then be more difficult. If the not then the text can be updated after exploding you could use right-click>select similar to select all the blocks for exploding.

Thanks Lee, that works really well for adding/subtracting a number to an attribute. Is there a way to make it do it to all of the blocks in the drawing like Text_Inc above, rather than having to click each one individually? (I have hundreds in my drawing).

November 23, 2012

...that works really well for adding/subtracting a number to an attribute.

In your original post you specifically stated that you needed to change TEXT within a block, not an attribute:

...the text I need to change is part of a block (containing TEXT and a point)

Hence, upon selecting a Text object nested within a block reference, the above program will alter the value of that Text object within the block definition referenced by the selected block reference, subsequently updating the value of the Text for all references of the block in the drawing (following a regen).

Is there a way to make it do it to all of the blocks in the drawing like Text_Inc above, rather than having to click each one individually? (I have hundreds in my drawing).

For attribute modification, a window selection is certainly possible, however, if the selected block references contain more than one attribute, the program would need to know which attribute is to be modified in each attributed block reference.

However, I cannot justify the voluntary time required for this modification, but would be willing to provide a quotation to customise the program to suit your requirements; if you are interested, contact me through my site.

Lee Mac, this lisp is great, Thank you, how can I control the precision in the final number is there a way to add ' or " to the end , example 17.0 I want it 17.00'. I really appreciat your help.

LeeMac,

This code is perfect but I do have one question. When using this, if the resulting value ends in a zero, say 100.30 the end result is 100.3. How can I modify this to keep the hundredth mark even if zero?

Thanks!!

Hi Cylis,

There is an updated version of this program posted here; the updated version will use your settings for LUPREC & DIMZIN when formatting non-integer values.

Hey guys, this is a great routine (Thanks, Lee)

But how can we modify it to work on multileader text also?

June 22, 2018

hi all,

can anyone help me, to make the same lisp without decimal values.

February 3, 2021

All,

Can the Text_Inc.lsp be modified to just change one line of the mtext with a leader? ie. \A1;STATION: 754+00\POFFSET: 57.33\PELE: 953.48\PDESC.: ER

I would only need to change the offset distance.

Thanks!

February 17, 2021

thanks at first

how can i turn the script into a lisp in cad or how can i use the script into the cad?

numeric text editing (add or subtracting)
