WodMarsden Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Thank you for this lisp,i am very new to lisps. Is there anyway you can have the table update automaticaly. Say i delete or add sum more lines to the layer,can i have it so the table updates on its own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Mac Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 The table could be set to automatically update using Fields, although this is an old program and needs a lot of updating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irneb Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I think your best bet would be to look into using Data Extraction. As example look at attached. Lengths.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WodMarsden Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Thank you very much for that irneb,is there anyway of making it so it updates itself wen a line is changed in length or a new line is added? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irneb Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Not immediately, you have to save the DWG and it should pop-up with a DataLink requires update pop-up - which you can click for it to update. Or in the bottom right of the status bar should be an icon with what looks like 2 chain-links: right-click and select "Update All Data Links ...". Otherwise the command is DataLinkUpdate.

WodMarsden Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 How do i change what layer it is reading lengths from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irneb Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 At present it reads all layers. To edit this you can add a filter: Select one of the cells of the table (single click so the bolded border of the cell is shown). Right-click and select Data Extraction --> Edit Data Extraction Settings. Click Next until you arrive at the Data Extraction - Refine Data (Page 4 of 7) dialog. Right click on the Layer column and select "Filter options" you can either pick each layer by urning on/off the checkbox next to its name, or adding a Begins with / Contains filter. OK & Next out until you reach the Finally button - after which the table should be updated. You can do most things in that Refine Data page, e.g. change the number format of the Length column, or rename a column, sort the table on one or more columns, add calculated columns, etc. BTW, for some reason I can't seem to combine different types of objects on the same layer into one line. I've hidden the Name (which I've renamed to Type) column, but it still shows 2/more lines per layer. Does anyone else know if there's a way to get round this? I've already selected Combine by Sum on the Length column, no other option available to the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WodMarsden Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 It wont let me edit the Date extraction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irneb Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 It wont let me edit the Date extractionHave you extracted both the DWG and the DXE file in the ZIP I attached? You need to have them both in the same folder. If it still doesn't work: As an alternative the attached is an eTransmit (which should have pathed the link relative to the DWG).

WodMarsden Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Rename the display names in section 2 of 7,and then in the refine data section.right click on the header and change the combine record mode to sum values. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
