Autocad open source drawing of selected bloc

[francine2013]

Hello everybody,

 

I have a lisp "Open-BL" that open a block from anywhere, the sub-directories are specified in a special text file. This Lisp routine work well but a want to open a selected block on a drawing with hundred of block. I modified "Open-BL" to "NewOpen-BL" but it dosent work and I don't know why!!!

 

Any help is appreciated.

Your code should work if the block is available as a DWG file in a folder from Support File Search Path list or contained in your paths list (test.txt file). It will fail if you select an entity other than a block (see below).

What error message you received?

 

It seems that you attempted to validate user's selection, but you should use that into an IF statement:

(if (eq (cdr (assoc 0 (entget ent))) "INSERT")
(progn
  ...
)
)

Alternatively check the SSGET function:

(if (setq ssetBlock (ssget "_:S:E" '((0 . "INSERT"))))
(print (vla-get-effectivename (vlax-ename->vla-object (cdr (assoc -1 (entget (ssname ssetBlock 0)))))))
)

 

 

Please also pay attention that "LIST" is a reserved symbol; you may want to consider renaming that variable.

Thank you for your response,

I mofified the Lisp, but I get this message:

 

Select Block Entity:

I can't find EP1780.DWG anywhere!

nil

 

 

Lisp modification:

 

(setq ent (car (entsel "\nSelect Block Entity: ")))
                (if  (eq (cdr (assoc 0 (entget ent))) "INSERT")
                 (progn
                 (setq BLKN (vla-get-effectivename
                                       (vlax-ename->vla-object ent)))
                 )
                 )

That meens that selected blcok isn't available as DWG file, at least not on the investigated paths (that it, the ones in Support File Search Path list and test.txt file).

 

If you modified the code like above, then should also validate the existace of block name:

...
(if (and [color=red]BLKN[/color] (/= BLKN "") (/= BLKN "?"))
...

Many thank, it works.....

You're welcome!

Hello

What you mean with : Please edit your previous post and the add code tags.

[MSasu]

In order to have the code well presented and preserve its formattings it must be wrapped in

 tags. My previous post contains a link where you will find information how to do this.

Here the Lisp :

 

(defun C:NewOpen-BL ( / POINTER FolderList BLKN PATH SUBDIR)
  (setq POINTER "H:")
  (setq FolderList (open (strcat pointer "[url="file://\\test.txt"]\\test.txt[/url]") "r"))
(setq ent (car (entsel "\nSelect Block Entity: ")))
                (if  (eq (cdr (assoc 0 (entget ent))) "INSERT")
                 (progn
                 (setq BLKN (vla-get-effectivename
                                       (vlax-ename->vla-object ent)))
                 )
                 )
  (if (= BLKN "") (princ "\n*Invalid*\n"))
  (if (= BLKN "?") (command ".insert" "?"))
  (if (and BLKN (/= BLKN "") (/= BLKN "?"))
     (progn
        (setq BLKN (strcase (strcat BLKN ".DWG"))
           PATH (findfile blkn)
           SUBDIR (read-line FolderList)
        )
        (while (and SUBDIR (not PATH))
           (setq   PATH (findfile (strcat SUBDIR "\\" BLKN))
              SUBDIR (read-line FolderList)
        ))
        (if (= PATH nil)
           (prompt (strcat "\nI can't find " BLKN " anywhere!\n"))
           (progn
(if (= 0 (getvar "SDI"))
(vla-activate (vla-open (vla-get-documents (vlax-get-acad-object)) path))
(vla-sendcommand
(vla-get-activedocument
(vlax-get-acad-object))
(strcat "(command \"_.open\")\n" path "\n") )
)
           )
        )
     )
  )
  (close FolderList)
);

 

Example of txt Datei:

H:\BLOC\profile
H:\BLOC\gomme

I need one time more your help, I want to redefine the block opened with the previous Lisp. I create a new Lisp "InsertBL" and replaced the open command with the insert command. The lisp works but it doesnt redefine the block!!! You know why?

 

 

(defun C:InsertBL ( / POINTER FolderList BLKN PATH SUBDIR)
  (setq POINTER "H:")
  (setq FolderList (open (strcat pointer "[url="file://\\test.txt"]\\test.txt[/url]") "r"))
(setq ent (car (entsel "\nSelect Block Entity: ")))
                (if  (eq (cdr (assoc 0 (entget ent))) "INSERT")
                 (progn
                 (setq BLKN (vla-get-effectivename
                                       (vlax-ename->vla-object ent)))
                 )
                 )
  (if (= BLKN "") (princ "\n*Invalid*\n"))
  (if (= BLKN "?") (command ".insert" "?"))
  (if (and BLKN (/= BLKN "") (/= BLKN "?"))
     (progn
        (setq BLKN (strcase (strcat BLKN ".DWG"))
           PATH (findfile blkn)
           SUBDIR (read-line FolderList)
        )
        (while (and SUBDIR (not PATH))
           (setq   PATH (findfile (strcat SUBDIR "\\" BLKN))
              SUBDIR (read-line FolderList)
        ))
        (if (= PATH nil)
           (prompt (strcat "\nI can't find " BLKN " anywhere!\n"))
           (progn
              (command "._-insert" path pause "1" "1" pause)
           )
        )
     )
  )
  (close FolderList)
);

I found an oder way without txt Datei, On the lisp I've add 2 functions, one for block opening and the second for redefining a block.

((findfile (strcat "H:/bloc/gomme/" n)));;;<--- this is another example path
;;; etc, etc. List as many block folder 
;;; paths as you need, following the patterns
(t (progn
(prompt 
(strcat "** PartSearch Error ** Required file (" n ") could not be found."))

By the first lisp command "openBL" is it possible that Autocad don't open the drawing if this one is already open!!!!

Please can somebody help me?

[Lee Mac]

Try the following code:

Hi Lee,

I tested your lisp, it work with the directory link "H:/bloc/gomme/" and "H:/bloc/gomme/". I changed this direntory link to :

"P:/GBR_GreatBritain/02-DESIGN/02-05-BLOCKS/Gaskets/"

"P:/GBR_GreatBritain/02-DESIGN/02-05-BLOCKS/Castings/"

"P:/GBR_GreatBritain/02-DESIGN/02-05-BLOCKS/MouldingPieces/"

"P:/GBR_GreatBritain/02-DESIGN/02-05-BLOCKS/Accessories/"

now the lisp doesn't work ,block not found. Do you know why?

[francine2013]

Hi Lee,

I think I found the problem : modification in green

I change also the block selection methode because I want to select the nested block : modification in red, is that OK???

I'm afraid I cannot advise regarding your paths - if the block cannot be found, the path must be incorrect.

Hi,

One last request, I have a lisp for redefine many blocks in a drawing. This lisp work well but when a have big drawing with lot of blocks the routines need sometimes 2minutes if not more. Is there a way to optimise this lisp. Perhaps redefine only blocks where the modified date is older as the drawing date!!!

I am also looking to do it with script and batch, I found this solution: http://www.widom-assoc.com/AU-CP12-3L.pdf but I need time to understand how it works.

You're welcome Francine.

 

One last request, I have a lisp for redefine many blocks in a drawing. This lisp work well but when a have big drawing with lot of blocks the routines need sometimes 2minutes if not more. Is there a way to optimise this lisp.

 

Is the following code any quicker?

 

(defun c:redef ( / blk def dir msp org src )
   (setq dir
      '(
           "P:\\02-DESIGN\\02-05-BLOCKS\\01-Profiles" 
           "P:\\02-DESIGN\\02-05-BLOCKS\\02-Gaskets"

                (setq src (vl-some'(lambda ( d ) (findfile (strcat d "\\" blk ".dwg"))) dir))
