Arguments? ACET-TABLE-NAME-LIST

[svorgodne]

I have a couple of questions I've been searching on the WEB without any... but really any answer...

What is the definition of argument in lisp?

Where can I get information from ALL ACET codes, VLA codes? I guess BETTER all subroutines from express tools which are very useful but without knowing them it is very difficult to develop any lisp without controlling the result.

Thanks a lot

Search your ACAD Program Files for 'tblname.lsp'

Thanks Lee,

 

I may be completely overwhelmed because I cannot understand anything in this file. Apparently nothing is loading from when I use appload command although I know it should load all this subroutines for expresstools to work properly. Isn't there a PDF or an HLP file where all these subroutines are explained? I opened the count.lsp and found this inside:

 

(setq lst (acet-table-name-list (list "block" 1 4 16))) ;exclude anonymous and xref blocks

 

What are these parameters to filter out anonymous blocks and xrefs?

 

Basically I want to filter all xrefs so I can extract xref names from a bunch of drawings in different text files.

 

Thanks again

The parameters are explained in the headers of each of the functions - the functions could be scattered in different files throughout the Express Folder.

 

You could just write your own:

 

(defun _tablenames ( table exclude / item result )
 (while (setq item (tblnext table (null item)))
   (if (zerop (logand (cdr (assoc 70 item)) exclude))
     (setq result (cons (cdr (assoc 2 item)) result))
   )
 )
 (reverse result)
)

Hence, to exclude XRefs and Anonymous Blocks:

 

(_tablenames "BLOCK" (+ 1 4 16))
