casariana Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Hello! I'm performing a count in order to create a report from a dwg file. Counting functioncan be called at any time, but necessarily runs on close - when I also count the edit time. For that I'm using a reactor. That works fine. Prior to start the counting I'd like to overkill the whole drawing. That way it will not generate fake data due to duplicated objects. My code: (defun finalize ( / total_vector t_time) (setq doc (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object))) (vla-sendCommand doc "_.-overkill\r_all\r\r_done\r") (arxload "EDITTIME") (load "julian") (setq total_vector (jtoc (acet-edittime-total))) (setq t_time (strcat (LM:rtos (nth 3 total_vector) 2 0) ":" (LM:rtos (nth 4 total_vector) 2 0))) (acet-edittime-enable "OFF") (report1 t_time) (report2 t_time) (CloseReactor) ) As you can see, I'm using a few of (the marvelous) Lee Mac's functions too: (defun CloseReactor nil (vl-load-com) ;; Lee Mac ~ 14.04.10 ( (lambda ( data / react ) (if (setq react (vl-some (function (lambda ( reactor ) (if (eq data (vlr-data reactor)) reactor) ) ) (cdar (vlr-reactors :vlr-editor-reactor) ) ) ) (if (vlr-added-p react) (vlr-remove react) (vlr-add react) ) (setq react (vlr-editor-reactor data (list (cons :vlr-beginclose 'CloseCallBack) ) ) ) ) (princ (if (vlr-added-p react) "\n** Reactor Activated **" "\n** Reactor Deactivated **" ) ) react ) "Close-Reactor" ) (princ) ) (defun CloseCallBack (reactor arguments) (vla-put-ActiveSpace (setq doc (vla-get-ActiveDocument (setq acad (vlax-get-acad-object)) ) ) acModelSpace ) (vla-ZoomExtents acad) (vla-put-ActiveLayer doc (vla-item (vla-get-layers doc) "0" ) ) (vla-put-ActiveUCS doc (vla-add (vla-get-usercoordinatesystems doc) (vlax-3D-point '(0. 0. 0.)) (vlax-3D-point '(1. 0. 0.)) (vlax-3D-point '(0. 1. 0.)) "TempWord_UCS" ) ) (if (not (eq "" (vla-get-FullName doc))) (vla-saveas doc (vla-get-FullName doc)) ) (princ) (finalize) ) ;; rtos wrapper - Lee Mac ;; A wrapper for the rtos function to negate the effect of DIMZIN (defun LM:rtos ( real units prec / dimzin result ) (setq dimzin (getvar 'dimzin)) (setvar 'dimzin 0) (setq result (vl-catch-all-apply 'rtos (list real units prec))) (setvar 'dimzin dimzin) (if (not (vl-catch-all-error-p result)) result ) ) I'm using vla-sendfile to call the overkill because I can't use command inside a reactor. If I close the reactor in the begining of the finilize funcion, it closes the drawing before running through the whole function. But I realized that the overkill is being performed AFTER the report1 and report2 functions. That is a problem because report1 and report2 are the functions that generate the report. So, I'm guessing there's some sort of priority of vanilla lisp over vla functions. Is that right? Is there other way of performing this overkill whithout using vla-sendcommand or command? Thanks a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Not quite sure what you are trying to record but there are a few record what goes on in a dwg out there I have used Productivity_Analysis_Tool.lsp it loggs a very entensive record of what a user has done it can be set up for multi users logging individual files per user.

No. The vla-sendcommand function sends a string to the CAD program to be processed when the CAD program is ready to receive command line input. In your example this is after the 'finalize' function is finished. The solution may be to use vla-sendcommand to start the 'finalize' function and in that function then use (command "_.-overkill" ...). Although triggering the Overkill command in a :vlr-beginclose callback is perhaps tricky. Edited June 27, 2019 by Roy_043 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the reply! Your code at Productivity_Analysis_Tool.lsp is great, congrats! But I need to record the amount of products generated for each user and in certain period of time. So I count it through the types, layers and attributes of the objects and also retrieve the user that made the modification and edittime. This way I know that an individual openned the file at 08:00am, closed it at 10:00am, had an edittime of 70 min, and inserted 2km of cable A, 3km of cable B, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You solved it I modified the code, maybe it's not the most elegant solution, but works great! 1 - Made 'finalize' a public function and changed its name for a random name that would be unlikely to be typed "accidentaly" (defun finalize ( / total_vector t_time)) >> (defun c:zxtw82 ( / total_vector t_time)) 2 - At other functions, where I called (finalize), I changed to: (setq doc (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object))) (vla-sendCommand doc "_.-overkill\r_all\r\r_done\r") (vla-sendCommand doc "zxtw82\r") And that was it! Thank you very much! Edited June 27, 2019 by casariana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy_043 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Not exactly what I meant. But that does not matter. Note that you can also do this: (vla-sendCommand doc "(finalize)\r") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually thought that the (command "_.-overkill" ...) would be inside the reactor, but now I see what you meant. Also this solution is far more elegant. Thank you.
