Topic: vla-plotconfiguration...

[cadman6735]

Hi all,

I am trying to understand how to modify (vla-plotcofiguration) where I can set all plot configurations at once, including modelspace to a desired setting.

so if I only wanted to change the "paperunits" to 1 or..

change only the "PageSetup name" to whatever...

I don't LISP enough and seem to be stuck...

thanks

[CAB]

Maybe this will help.

Hi CAB, thank you very much for your link

I am not trying to or wanting to import a page setup from an existing "template" file, I have a macro for this, what I am looking to do is preset one setting in the plot dialog box of my own choosing, one at a time, I am able to do it for "activeLayout" but not for all "Layouts" at once, including the Model Space.

Why do I want to do this?  Only to add a new tool to my collection of tools and to add an extra bit of control for one off situations.  but mainly I can't figure out how to do it and I always seem to be starting from scratch with my LISP, I hit it hard and heavy for a week or two then 6 months later I am back to square one and I am frustrated and mind blocked.

Here is a basic example of where I am trying to get to:

Code: [Select]

(defun c:test ( / )(vl-load-com)

  (setq acDoc (vla-get-activeDocument (vlax-get-acad-object))
  acLayouts (vla-get-Layouts acDoc)
  )

  (vlax-for x acLayouts
    (vla-put-paperunits acLayouts 1)
  )

(princ)
)
Thanks again

Try this:

Code: [Select]

(defun c:test (/)
  (vl-load-com)
  (vlax-for layout (vla-get-layouts (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object)))
    (vla-put-paperunits layout 1)
  )
  (princ)
)

your kidding me!!!!....

I was so close....  and banging my head...  Thanks RonJon  (I saw your code and was thinking what's the difference)

I had this:

Code: [Select]

(vla-put-paperunits acLayouts 1)
and I need this:

Code: [Select]

(vla-put-paperunits x 1)

such a simple oversight

THANK YOU
