Access Data Reported by LIST Command

[lamensterms]

Hey guys,

 

Probably a bit of a long shot I realise.. but is it possible to access/extract the data reported by the LIST command, to be processed by a lisp routine?

 

The LIST command will report some addition data, that ENTGET and VLAX-DUMP-OBJECT will not.

 

See example below, this is the LIST report from a ProSteel element, showing hole quantity & diameter (highlighted):

 

 

I am not sure if this is raw AutoCAD that is producing this report, or if it is a ProSteel enhancement of the LIST command.

 

Is there any way to get this data into a LISP routine?  Interested in counting holes and diameter.

 

Thanks for any help.

Assuming the data cannot be accessed through xdata or an extension dictionary attached to the object, you could potentially obtain the information output by the LIST command by temporarily enabling the command line log file (LOGFILEMODE sys var), issue the LIST command, and then disable the log file and read the content of the file created (LOGFILENAME sys var).
