jim78b Posted July 11 Posted July 11 How can I create an additional window, such as Properties, to list all blocks and groups, including nested ones. I'd like to see a tree view. See the attached image, the window on the left. Quote
mhupp Posted July 11 Posted July 11 This has what you want but you will have to use the wayback website to find a none corrupt file as it looks like the website has been abandon. (Last Updated April 1st, 2013) blktree https://jefferypsanders.com/autolisp.html might have the file kicking around here some where. Quote
Saxlle Posted July 11 Posted July 11 You can also try with COUNT command built-in AutoCAD. Something like this you will get from picture 1. Quote

SLW210 Posted July 11 Posted July 11 Just get that one then. Drawing Tree | AutoCAD | Autodesk App Store I am pretty sure, that is not a LISP. Quote

You asked in the AutoLISP, Visual LISP & DCL Forum, something like what @mhupp posted is the best solution with FREE LISP, IMO. You need to look at asking this in some .NET forums, though not sure the FREE will happen. 1 1 Quote
Danielm103 Posted July 13 Posted July 13 You want to create a GUI? There’s a sample in python creating a palette with block names and preview https://github.com/CEXT-Dan/PyRx?tab=readme-ov-file#features you’d have to roll it yourself. There’s also opendcl if you feel more comfortable with lisp 1 Quote

Danielm103 Posted July 13 Posted July 13 You might want to check out OpenDCL, it has pallets, block preview … all the tools you would need create a block + group manager 1 Quote

And it would still be similar to Jeffery P. Sanders program, with a prettier Dialog Box. Python would be much better for the OP, even better would be a .NET solution. Quote

Also what are your computer specifications, graphics card, etc. and most important your Windows version and AutoCAD version? Quote

It's called purchasing the previously posted Drawing Tree | AutoCAD | Autodesk App Store. It has a free trial. Other than that, just need to ask around and see if someone will make you something for free. What permissions do you have for installing software? 1 Quote
