More dimscale please
« on: December 19, 2019, 07:17:55 PM »
How would I include a filter for text objects found on "X" layers located at pt1 and pt2?

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]
  1. (defun c:foo4 ( / dim pt1 pt2)
  2.  
  3.    pt1 '(33.375 21.4375);;revision text
  4.         pt2 '(31.875 5.3125);;revision text
  5. )
  6.  
  7. (setq dim (getvar 'dimscale)
  8.         pt1 (mapcar '* pt1 (list dim dim))
  9.         pt2 (mapcar '* pt2 (list dim dim))
  10. )
  11.  
  12. ;;need combine a filter for all TEXT layers with pt1 pt2
  13. ;;something like ????
  14. (setq rev1 (ssget "C" (list pt1 pt2) ((8 . "Text*")))
  15.  
  16. (command "._change" rev1 "" "p" "la" "TBLK_TBLK_REVTEXT" "")
  17.  
  18.   (princ)
  19. )
  20.  
  21. )

Remember too that these text objects need to be visible on the screen for this to work.

I see why that was confusing. I posted the wrong code.
This is what I currently us

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]
  1. (if (and (= (getvar 'dimscale) 8)
  2.   (setq rev1 (ssget "c" '(268.5 171.0) '(254.25 42.125) '((8 . "Text*"))))
  3.   )
  4.    (command "._change" rev1 "" "p" "la" "TBLK_TBLK_REVTEXT" "")
  5.   (and (setq rev1 (ssget "c" '(33.375 21.4375) '(31.875 5.375) '((8 . "Text*"))))
  6.         (command "._change" rev1 "" "p" "la" "TBLK_TBLK_REVTEXT" "")
  7.         )
  8. )
  9.  

We use model space with multiple scaled title blocks. The above code demonstrates how I handle changes to the area specified by the ssget "c" in a
1 1/2" = 1'-0" drawing. If it's not a dimscale of 8 then it's got to be dimscale 1.0. For now I'm only addressing these two title blocks. I would like to expand that to address all 12 of our title blocks.

The code below is closer to what I have in mind.

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]
  1.  
  2.   (setq lst '((31.875 5.3125) (33.375 21.4375)))
  3.   (setq dim (getvar 'dimscale) lst (mapcar '(lambda (x) (mapcar '* x (list dim dim))) lst))
  4.   (setq rev1 (ssget (cons "_C" lst) '((8 . "TEXT*"))));;;my issue is here, I'm pretty sure. I just don't know why.
  5.  
  6.   do stuff here....
  7.  
  8.

Yes Ron. Thanks for that. I have that set in the larger code. Actually I think we may have discussed that in a prior post about roughly the same thing I'm trying to do here.

Remember too that these text objects need to be visible on the screen for this to work.

Here's the full code with Lee's last suggestion.

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]
  1. (defun Rev_Up ( / DIM DIM1 OSM REV1 REV2 X)
  2.   (defun _addlayer (name color ltype plot)
  3.     (cond ((not (tblsearch "layer" name))
  4.            (entmakex (list '(0 . "LAYER")
  5.                            '(100 . "AcDbSymbolTableRecord")
  6.                            '(100 . "AcDbLayerTableRecord")
  7.                            '(70 . 0)
  8.                            (cons 2 name)
  9.                            (cons 62 color)
  10.                            (cons 6
  11.                                  (cond ((tblobjname "ltype" ltype))
  12.                                        ("continuous")
  13.                                  )
  14.                            )
  15.                            (cons 290 plot)
  16.                            ;;1 = plottable 0 = not=plottable
  17.                      )
  18.            )
  19.           )
  20.           ((tblobjname "layer" name))
  21.     )
  22.   )
  23.  
  24.   (setvar 'osmode 0)
  25.   (setvar 'cmdecho 0)
  26.  
  27.   (command "Zoom" "E")
  28.  
  29.   (setq lst '((31.875 5.3125) (33.375 21.4375)))
  30.   (setq dim (getvar 'dimscale) lst (mapcar '(lambda (x) (mapcar '* x (list dim dim))) lst))
  31.   (setq rev1 (ssget "_C" lst '((8 . "TEXT2"))))
  32.  
  33.   (_addlayer "TBLK_TBLK_REVTEXT" 3 "Continous" 1)
  34.   (_addlayer "TBLK_TBLK_REVLINES" 9 "Continous" 1)
  35.   (command "_.CHANGE" rev1 "" "_P" "_LA" "TBLK_TBLK_REVTEXT" "")
  36.  
  37.   (setvar 'osmode 1)
  38.   (setvar 'cmdecho 1)
  39.  
  40.   (princ)
  41. )
  42. (REV_UP)

When I run it through the vlide console...

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]
  1. _$ (setq lst '((31.875 5.3125) (33.375 21.4375)))
  2. ((31.875 5.3125) (33.375 21.4375))
  3. _$ (setq dim (getvar 'dimscale) lst (mapcar '(lambda (x) (mapcar '* x (list dim dim))) lst))
  4. ((765.0 127.5) (801.0 514.5))
  5. _$ (setq rev1 (ssget "_C" lst '((8 . "TEXT2"))));;ichose to speicifically identify the layer I'm looking for.
  6.  
  7. Error: too many arguments; warning: unwind skipped on hard error
I suspect I'm fat fingering something or not reading something correctly. My eyes are a bit tired today.

-------------------

If I use...
Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]
  1. (setq rev1 (append (cons 'ssget (cons "_C" lst)) '(((8 . "TEXT*")))))

at the console, I get...
Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]
  1. _$ (setq lst '((31.875 5.3125) (33.375 21.4375)))
  2. ((31.875 5.3125) (33.375 21.4375))
  3. _$ (setq dim (getvar 'dimscale) lst (mapcar '(lambda (x) (mapcar '* x (list dim dim))) lst))
  4. ((765.0 127.5) (801.0 514.5))
  5. _$ (setq rev1 (append (cons 'ssget (cons "_C" lst)) '(((8 . "TEXT2)))))
  6. (SSGET "_C" (765.0 127.5) (801.0 514.5) ((8 . "TEXT2")))
  7. _$ (_addlayer "TBLK_TBLK_REVTEXT" 3 "Continous" 1)
  8. <Entity name: 1b975c66980>
  9. _$ (_addlayer "TBLK_TBLK_REVLINES" 9 "Continous" 1)
  10. <Entity name: 1b975c66990>
  11. _$ (command "_.CHANGE" rev1 "" "_P" "_LA" "TBLK_TBLK_REVTEXT" "")
  12. nil


Change to layouts and all your title block problems will go away.

Yes!!! I've actually set up a meeting for the first of the year on this. This code is part of that. Moving objects from old drawings into the new Pspace title block. This code assists with that.

Happy Holidays to you all.

  19.           )
  20.           ((tblobjname "layer" name))
  21.     )
  22.   )

This should probably be this (cons 6.....)

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]
  1. (defun Rev_Up ( / DIM DIM1 OSM REV1 REV2 X)
  2.   (defun _addlayer (name color ltype plot)
  3.     (cond ((not (tblsearch "layer" name))
  4.            (entmakex (list '(0 . "LAYER")
  5.                            '(100 . "AcDbSymbolTableRecord")
  6.                            '(100 . "AcDbLayerTableRecord")
  7.                            '(70 . 0)
  8.                            (cons 2 name)
  9.                            (cons 62 color)
  10.                            (cons 6
  11.                                  (cond ((tblobjname "ltype" ltype) ltype)
  12.                                        ("continuous")
  13.                                  )
  14.                            )
  15.                            (cons 290 plot)
  16.                            ;;1 = plottable 0 = not=plottable
  17.                      )
  18.            )
  19.           )
  20.           ((tblobjname "layer" name))
  21.     )
  22.   )
  23.  

as (tblobjname "ltype" ltype) returns an entity if true

You are masking it by passing in "continous" instead of "continuous" in some of your calls

What is line 12?

("Continuous")

Looks like a function call.  No parentheses required.

Note that it's not a function call, but rather a cond condition, returning a literal string.

Thanks for that.

However, your catch didn't solve that problem.


Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]
  1. _$ (setq lst '((31.875 5.3125) (33.375 21.4375)))
  2. ((31.875 5.3125) (33.375 21.4375))
  3. _$ (setq dim (getvar 'dimscale) lst (mapcar '(lambda (x) (mapcar '* x (list dim dim))) lst))
  4. ((31.875 5.3125) (33.375 21.4375))
  5. _$ (setq rev1 (ssget "_C" lst '((8 . "TEXT2"))));;shouldn't I be getting the selected entities after this?

<selection set: ????;;;instead I'm getting too many arguments

Error: too many arguments;

I've literally stripped the code down to just the guts and...nothing. This is getting aggravating.
