LISCP or SCRIPT for renaming ladders in AutoCAD Electrical

[crosby.109]

I am looking for a LISP method to invoke the ladders to see the change on their FIRSTRUNG attribute.

Any ideas from the experts out there?

I have already completed the LISP that finds the first components of the ladders and then updates the values accordingly in FIRSTRUNG but then when i try to call the object method Update() with:

(vla-update AXName) ; where AXName is the Active X object of the first element in ladder

But the ladders don't update the rest of the rungs . . .

Any ideas??

Thanks!

It looks as though the rest are just text and don't mean anything and there isn't a method to invoke, I just have to go in the code and change all the text . . . crikee

Yup. It is all text for a visual reference.

You can either double click on each text and edit the value of each, or use the revise ladder command in the Edit Wires/Wire Numbers pallet.

That will change the first ladder number, which is a "smart" block, and it will renumber every ladder number underneath it in one fell swoop.
