shorten text string


Lippens Infra

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

 

I have a file where the height of certain points is annotated as text.

The precision is 0.0001 which is too much.

I have like for example a text line containing 13.6489.

Would it be possible to adapt all text entities at once? and maybe even a correct round off?

If i could shorten the string to 13.64 that would be ok, but even better would be 13.65

 

If not, there are also blocks (crosses)  which have the height as Z attribute. 

Is it possible to extract that Z coordinate and annotate it?

 

Thanks in advande :)

Are these text heights "TEXT" , "MTEXT" or both?

Are they all on the same layer?

Those are TEXT entities :)

Please upload a sample drawing. Need to know if the TEXT has only the number, If is is in top level drawing or in a block, are the Text objects FIELDS, etc.

If they are text entities and all on the same layer you can try this. You will need to change the layer name in part of the filter (8 . "LEVELS") so that it matches the layer you height text is on.

 

(vl-load-com)

(defun c:lev22 ( / *error* c_doc)

  (defun *error* ( msg )
    (if (not (wcmatch (strcase msg) "*BREAK*,*CANCEL*,*EXIT*")) (princ (strcat "\nOops an Error : " msg " occurred.")))
    (princ)
  );end_*error*_defun

  (setq c_doc (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object)))

  (ssget "_X" '((0 . "TEXT")(8 . "LEVELS")))

  (vlax-for t_obj (vla-get-activeselectionset c_doc)
    (vlax-put-property t_obj 'textstring (rtos (atof (vlax-get-property t_obj 'textstring)) 2 2))
  );end_for

  (princ)
);end_defun

A bit more saves hard coding layer name.

 

(setq lay (cdr (assoc 8 (entget (car (entsel "\nPlease pick a text"))))))
(ssget "_X" (list (cons 0 "TEXT")(cons 8 lay)))

Thanks a lot! I've added this to the code!
