hello, you can create a new entity in AutoCAD from Lisp.
example:

thanks

thanks for replying, but routine creates MakeEntmake.lsp existing entities, circle, point, text .... I take care to create a new entity, such as:
TPLDTOPOLGCADNODE, see the picture above. NET can, but the question is: can with lisp. ? a clear example:
loaded application that creates the point

Code: [Select]

((-1 . <Entity name: 3110210>) (0 . "TPLDTOPOLGCADNODE") (330 . <Entity name: 31100f8>) (5 . "52") (100 . "AcDbEntity") (67 . 0) (410 . "Model") (8 . "PUNTOS") (100 . "TPLDTopoLGCADNode") (70 . 1) (140 . 272.43) (141 . 205.819) (142 . 100.0) (143 . 1.5) (144 . 0.5) (90 . 1))not loaded application that creates the point

Code: [Select]

((-1 . <Entity name: 7efc3dd0>) (0 . "ACAD_PROXY_ENTITY") (330 .
<Entity name: 7efc3cf8>) (5 . "52") (100 . "AcDbEntity") (67 . 0) (410 .
"Model") (8 . "PUNTOS"))
Please see dwg

My version of ACAD (2006 plain) does not support that entity so I can't test this.
Give it a try.

Code: [Select]

(entmakex
  '((0 . "TPLDTOPOLGCADNODE")
    (5 . "52")
    (100 . "AcDbEntity")
    (67 . 0)
    (410 . "Model")
    (8 . "PUNTOS")
    (100 . "TPLDTopoLGCADNode")
    (70 . 1)
    (140 . 272.43)
    (141 . 205.819)
    (142 . 100.0)
    (143 . 1.5)
    (144 . 0.5)
    (90 . 1)
   )
)

This is a guess
TopoLGCAD may create custom objects and AutoCAD needs TopoLGCAD or an enabler installed to read/display the entities.

You MAY be able to create the objects with Lisp so that they are database resident BUT AutoCad may not know how to display the objects.

your code does not work, choose to use to recognize an entity xdata

Looking at the drawing object I see a simple + (2 lines) with text bundled into what looks like a block but the block is a proxy object.
I can't deal with that proxy with my system, sorry.
