Topic: LISP to link a field to VPORT scale

[Gambit80]

I am looking to see if it is possible to use LISP to link a VPORT scale to an Attribute in a block.

Would like to allow user to place our North Arrow block in a drawing, which would prompt for a selection of the Viewport then populate the Field with the scale in the format we use.

I can do so manually and include a North Arrow in our template that already has the formula in the Field. This would be for inserting a north arrow after the fact.

The final formula is: %<\AcExpr (1/%<\_FldPtr 1995502088832>%) \f "%lu2%zs8">%

Appreciate any insight anyone can give.

Thank you!

For every object in a dwg this will change 1995502088832 so making the  field string needs say some lisp to get object ID.

Code: [Select]

(setq obj (vlax-ename->vla-object (car  (entsel "Pick viewport "))))
(itoa (vla-get-objectid obj))

Yes, sorry. I did know that would change, just showing the final output.

The process of getting that info (scale) into the field has been the issue. I will play with this and see what I can do.

Thank you.

Something like this for scale

%<\AcObjProp Object(%<\_ObjId 1056595104>%).CustomScale \f "%lu2%qf2816">%
