mehrdad Posted Tuesday at 11:40 AM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 11:40 AM Thank you very much for your time. If this is the image you're referring to, it still doesn't display the date as 01-10-24, nor does it recognize the HTX1 text style. Yes, they have been processed within the model environment. To avoid any potential errors on my part, could you please provide me with the final file? Thank you very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rlx Posted Tuesday at 11:49 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:49 AM thanx for stepping in Steven , have to finish something for the boss before the end of the day... the second (now) function I've posted replaces the old one. You can either first remove de old defun from the original post , or put the new defun at the end of the isp file. When loaded , the last found defun will be used so if the new one is inserted before the old one , only the old one will be excuted. you could try to replace the old addtext_dbx defun with this : (defun addtext_dbx (d s p h / o a) (setq o (vla-AddText (vla-get-ModelSpace d) s (vlax-3d-point p) h)) (vla-put-textstyle o "HTX1") ) but not sure if this will work in odbx. In that case maybe going the old school script is gonna be better 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P Posted Tuesday at 11:52 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:52 AM For text height (size) and style replace the lines as below: ;;Replace: (setq Old_Font (getvar 'textstyle) ) (setvar 'textstyle "HTX1") ;;With: (setq vars '("textstyle" "textsize")) (setq Old_Font (mapcar 'getvar vars)) ;;get old variables (mapcar 'setvar vars '("HTX1" 3.125)) ;;set variables to new ;;and replace: (setvar 'textstyle Old_Font) ;;With (mapcar 'setvar vars Old_Font) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlx Posted Tuesday at 11:52 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:52 AM @Steven P I use (setq y (nth 1 y-list)) , where the 1 stands for the row (D1). The Y coordinate for each row is in y-list so that way its easy to pick another row , just by changing 1 into 2 for row D2 for example. Could be a nice radio-row or column 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P Posted Tuesday at 11:56 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:56 AM If only there was a handy radio button LISP out there.. yes a radio button might be a nice interface. Not a problem to look at this - a few changes and perhaps give the OP some confidence to look at the code and make a few changes rather than give a polished solution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mehrdad Posted Tuesday at 12:08 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 12:08 PM Thank you once again for your time on this matter. Unfortunately, the issue persists. As you can see in the image... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P Posted Tuesday at 12:20 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:20 PM Yes, the font style is being carried over in the batch process, will have a think over lunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlx Posted Tuesday at 12:25 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:25 PM yeah I think that style must exist in drawing before you can use it. Probably have to do an add / create text style first before you can assign it. Will have a look tonight if Steven doesn't beat me to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven P Posted Tuesday at 02:55 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:55 PM Nice, I struggled with this one - set off on the wrong path I think and then round in circles.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlx Posted Tuesday at 03:25 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:25 PM I struggled with the text style for a moment , only to find I tried to use the wrong command. The right command being vla-put-StyleName. We don't always have a choise what material we have do deal with , AutoCad dwg's , tiff , pdf , vectorized... but if these drawings would want to live in my document control system I'd probably replace border & titleblock for a real titleblock. But I understand , sometimes its not economic to do so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGAL Posted Wednesday at 12:38 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 12:38 AM (edited) I am glad others stepped in and helped you out. It may be worthwhile still looking at using a Revision Title block rather than individual text. The image shows where you would have attributes they could have a default value like "." or "-", even just leave blank. Multiple advantages, does not matter where it is located re X&Y, can be found by name, can change any attribute by tag name. It is possible to convert your existing dwg's adding the Revision title block and read the current text, placing it into correct attribute, if that sounds promising let me know.
