Topic: Dynamic Intelligent Leader !

[KewlToyZ]

How does it work with "%UserProfile%\\Application Data\\Autodesk\\MEP 2010\\enu\\Support"  ?
I have workstations inadvertently unloading Express tools in 2010, still trying to figure out the why.
Regardless it leaves the workstations with an unable to load customization file command line prompt.
Makes quite a few bugs occur with publishing especially.
But when I try to make a check for it and reload it isn't working.

Code: [Select]

(if (null (menugroup "express"))
  (command "menuload" "express")
)
Maybe null is the wrong check to use?

Hmmm maybe I should be paying more attention to "LOCALROOTPREFIX"
but I have had this error on some installations as well.
The dangdest part is only people with high level Administrative permissions seem to have problems.

Hi Andrea,
does not work:
 
Pick Text location...
bad argument type: 2D/3D point: nil

At this point,...what kind of object entity you have selected ?  

I am getting this error too no matter what kind of object I select, but I am using Autocad 2005.  Although I don't remember what the exact reason is, I seem to recall an explanation as to why your other dynamic routines (dhatch, dcloud, etc.) will not function correctly in older versions.  Perhaps this is part of his problem?

Fixed !  thanks..
was an error on local variables. 

DiLEADER 2.2.4

Hi Andrea,
Thanks for your sharing.
I tried your code but found a problem.
It made a number of copies of leaders when I moved the mouse.
Please see the attachements.
Thanks again.

MeasureUp,..welcome to the swamp....

thanks reporting this issue...but after downloading your drawing...I can'T reproduce the problem..
but,..i'l will make more tests...

thanks.

If not set as current WCS, at the prompt "Pick Text location..." text is positioned away from the cursor.

on DILEDIT command, the problem remains when using a new UCS.

Hi Zanze..

can you provide a drawing with your named UCS ?

Andrea,

I normally use this when dealing with filepaths:

Code: [Select]

(setq fpath "C:\\Lee Mac")

(or (eq "\\" (substr fpath (strlen fpath)))
    (setq fpath (strcat fpath "\\")))

 

thanks Lee...


but I don't know why (getvar "SAVEFILEPATH") have diffrent result..!?

SAVEFILEPATH is Read/Write

SAVEFILEPATH is Read/Write 

I mean....why sometime it end with a backslash and some time not ??

I had the same result in v2009 mech & v2010 mech.
Perhaps you use other version?
Thanks again.

Andrea,
I apologize but this happens only in an old drawing.
however, in a new drawing with named UCS at the DIL command, the text is under the line.
I attach the sample file

Hi Andrea !
It's been a long long time since I came on the swamp.
But I've just seen most of the stuff you published here in 2009 [with the help of Camtasia (!)].

Great job(s)

OK....

I Think that I need a little help on this one...
attached...a dwg file (2004 format) with a simple Leader.

Arrow head size = 0.2

but if I use

Code: [Select]

(vla-get-arrowheadsize
  (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (entsel)))
)

he give me:

Arrow head size = 1.0

any idea ?

[Kerry]

Where did you get the Arrow Size as being 0.2 from ??

Opened in ACADM2010 this is my result:

Not sure about 2004, but I note that the
