Title: How to convert Field to String to use in Entmake in the code
Post by: HasanCAD on December 10, 2019, 08:39:52 AM
I am wondering is it possible to convert a field to a string to use in Entmakex
 
I extracted the scale using
Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]
  1.     (setq enam (car (nentsel "\nSelect Viewport: ")))
  2.     (setq objid (vla-get-objectid (vlax-ename->vla-object enam)))
  3.     (setq fldexp (strcat "Scale : " "%<\\AcObjProp Object(%<\\_ObjId " (itoa objid) " >%).StandardScale2 \\f \"%en0\">%"))


Thanks in advance

I would advise against using entmake(x) to create a field as it requires a not insignificant amount of code (http://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=20446) to create the associated extensionary dictionaries which underpin the field functionality; conversely, a simple (vla-put-textstring <obj> <field expression>) using ActiveX will create such dictionaries for you automatically.

Using VL you can set the viewport scale

(vla-put-CustomScale viewport yourscale)

Then use zoom c scale

You might check your FIELDEVAL setting too.

Perhaps incorporate a call to the command UPDATEFIELD and select the previously created text?
