Figures I click this link after I ask the question about why this happened! I have a question though. Is there something like call back functions? So instead of having to set the attdia back and forth, can there be a function that wraps around all the required commands and then returns attdia back to off?
@ATCCAD 15 күн бұрын
Kind of... but not really. You can call functions and pass values without any problem, the issue is the way that lisp throws an error when you exit a loop. I haven't done a video on error handling yet, but writing a costom error function would potentially have been a better place to put the system variable reset.

@@ATCCAD Thank you for the reply! I have a little bit of javascript experience and I keep wanting to simplify things and lisp doesn't seem conductive to that thought process. I'm in an autocad course right now, is there decent money in building dynamic blocks and custom commands for clients?

@NavySturmGewehr That's something that I do, but I'll admit it's a very small portion of my revenue. Back in the day, I made highly custom AutoCAD builds, but then Electrical Desktop came out.

Very useful!! However is there any way to implement bigger numbers? It says that the biggest number is 32767
@ATCCAD Ай бұрын
Wow! I didn't expect anyone to reach the end of the integer range! While integers can be larger (+/-2,147,483,647) the getint function is limited to 16 bits, a range of -32767 - 32767. In order to ask the user for an integer larger than that, you need to use getreal or getstring and then convert the value into an integer inside the function using something like (setq myInteger (atoi userString)) Using this means you'd have to check for a failed conversion in case the user typed "Bob" instead of 1,234,567

Thanks. could you please provide us the video regarding the automation of drawing symbol with attributed excel description: for example in excel description tree : we can automatically see trees on the drawing based on the imported pointdata.
@ATCCAD 2 ай бұрын
Generally, Civil 3D is used for this. In regular AutoCAD you would need to use a LISP routine. Which method would you like a video about?
@rezatalakoobi8029 2 ай бұрын
I am looking for a method to automate repetitive tasks in AutoCAD. Specifically, I would like to use a script or Dynamo to automate drawing tasks based on survey point descriptions from an Excel file. For example, I want the software to automatically draw a line between points A and B when the description indicates "edge of pavement," rather than manually drawing each line one by one. Additionally, if a survey point is labeled as a traffic light, I would like the script to automatically place a traffic light symbol at the specified locations in the drawing. Do you have any suggestions or resources that could help with this? Best regards,
@ATCCAD 2 ай бұрын
@rezatalakoobi8029 gotcha! Off the top of my head, I don't know how to do this in plain AutoCAD. Mainly because Civil 3D does this natively, so I've never needed regular AutoCAD to do this. It should be quite possible, in fact I'm working on a different video to do something very similar using astronomy data (gotta have some reason for light years to exist in AutoCAD!) It will be part of my LISP series, so keep an eye out for it! And let me know if another video explaining how to use Civil 3D to do this would also be helpful.

I really have repetitive task in AutoCAD like creating and placing doors in each walls. In Revit that's already built-in. Can you make a video about it using AutoCAD instead?
@ATCCAD 29 күн бұрын
Generally, I'd recommend that you look into using the Architectural toolkit. This is a free add-on if you have an AutoCAD subscription, and it behaves a LOT like Revit. That said, a way that you can do this with AutoCAD 2D drafting would be to add wipeouts to your door blocks so AutoCAD automatically hides the walls when you place a door. I'm thinking about a video on this subject, so stay tuned!

Davin, thank you for these videos. Possible TLDR; I began with Microstion in the late 80's (Loved it!). Forced (kicking and screaming) into ACAD early 90's. Made the best of ACAD by learning customization, LISP and some VBA. Switched to BricsCAD when the subscription debacle began, and for my own business (again Love it). Fate, karma or just luck now has me on AcadLT 2024. Thank the gods, it now supports LISP. Your videos are helping me get back into the nuances of AcadLT. Much appreciated!!!! Furthermore, I absolutely enjoy your style of instruction / narration - no fluff, down to business, and is what it is. In the end, CAD is CAD; at least between ACAD vs Brics. ACAD has Dynamic Blocks; BricsCAD has the QUAD cursor. If I could only combine the two....... I look forward to more of your content. Again, thank you!!!!!
@ATCCAD 4 ай бұрын
Thank you for your nice comment! And also thank you for teaching me about the quad cursor. I've never used BricsCAD before. I may have to play around with it It reminds me a bit of Microstation. You are definitely right, CAD is CAD. And I'm also super happy that LT had Lisp now too! Thanks again!

This video is fantastic, but how do you avoid the error when using the ESC key? I did find some hints of using visual lisp commands, such as vl-catch-all-apply, but I'm not really sure how to implement it in this code exactly.
@ATCCAD 5 ай бұрын
This requires using the * error * function - which was outside the scope of this video. I have a video planned for this topic - but this error is an easy one to deal with. Here is a way you can do it. In the main body of the program - at the top where you initialize the other variables - add the following two lines (setq tmperror * error *) ; saves the old * error * function so it can be restored after the user cancels the command (setq * error * errorfunc) ; sets the name of the new *error* function so LISP can find it Finally you'll add a new function - at the bottom would be good (defun errorfunc (errmsg) (setq * error * tmperror) ; Set the *error* function back to the old one (princ) ; Print a blank line )

@ATCCAD 6 ай бұрын
Yes, that can be done! It's a bit complicated to explain with words, but you can use the sheet metal tools to create a folded shape, and then ask Fusion to unfold it. This unfolded pattern can then be exported as a dxf and cut out. While it's called sheet metal, any foldable material does the same thing. That seems like a good idea for a video!

I load all my lisp routines using a legacy menu file which luckily still works in all versions of Autocad. I have all my routines in one folder complete with toolbar bmp image files. The mnu file is also included here and that's where all the lisp routines are listed in one big menu text file. Does the trick! I load it using the CUI partial menu setup and it automatically sets up my toolbar buttons. This something I learned years ago from Afralisp.

I have done something similar for a client in the past. They were moving several hundred users from Microstation J to AutoCAD 200(something). So making regular AutoCAD look like regular Microstation is definitely possible. I'm not sure if the same could be done to make Civil 3D look like Inroads. The Civil 3D toolbox isn't nearly as customizable as the AutoCAD ribbon (and the workflows will still be very different). I do not have a video for this process. Mainly because it would be a 27 hour video of me doing pixel art! Out of curiosity, what version of Microstation are you trying to reproduce?
