Anyone know hoe to create a field with lisp?..  The field is a costom name from a sheet set.  I searched the web and came up short.  It seems that here is now call to create a field with code???

Any help would be appreciated

I use fields only as part of all the predefined values for my blocks or titleblocks that I use in the sheet set manager - but none of them is via code.

You can copy the string values from each of the available ones in the FIELD dialog and from there recreate them - I did that in the past.


Here is some sample (in VBA) but can be easily ported to lisp

text = "%<\AcObjProp Object(%<\_ObjId " + Str$(entObjectID) + ">%).Area>%"

(setq text  (strcat "%<\AcObjProp Object(%<\_ObjId "  itoa(entObjectID)  ">%).Area>%"))

then pass that into a text or mtext.... hope that the lisp code is right - well that's the idea

Thanks Guys,  I'll look into it a bit more today.  These things are inuding me for some reason,  maybe its the sheet set part,  I dunno.

Thanks Again
