What happens when you run the Find command

Are the results not what you expected

"Find" is working properly, but if there is a bulk quantity, it's a ton of time-consuming.

doesn't matter if there's a bulk and with code it'll fly by the find process.

so where's the code?

So explain clearly what happens when a match is found

What I imagine is, When the code runs, let it find the first line data from the notepad, and find the match att block. Then press any key (TAB) let it jump to second line and pan to the particular att match in the dwg. Similarly till end of the line from notepad.

If copy paste from Note pad data to DWG, as text or Mtext also preferable, if it may difficult to connect with Notepad file.

Try FnAtV.lsp attached.

It doesn't allow you to TAB but at least you can choose from options at the command line as to how to respond when matching items are found.

Note the following settings that can be modified to your requirements at the beginning of the code:

(setq blknam "-EP-LEEDER-1" ; block name lyrnam "Verified" ; layer name lyrcol "3" ; layer color tagnam "CIRCUIT" ; attribute tag name zmfac ".2x" ; zoom away from object factor )

if possible can you just add verified and unverified buttons here also?

When we found duplicate blocks.

I apologise,My mistake, I have made a wrong post and edited Message 12.

So not Verifiedall but just Verified which applies to the current highlighted item?

Clicking Next or Previous is the same as Unverified right?

Re: LISP request for advanced find from a list

smallƑish — Sat, 10 Feb 2024 07:55:42 GMT

My request is having all 4 options,

1. Next / previous

2. Exit

3. Verified

4. Unverified

So we can compare previous and next, then verify the correct one/multiple, and move on.

Re: LISP request for advanced find from a list

4 options are:

Next - won’t show on last item

Previous - won’t show on first item

Verified - this option changes highlighted item’s layer

Exit - this option exits out of reviewing the current matching set

What does Unverified do?
