Ok, so I have a customers title block, there is a block for the Revision Table, we have now exceeded the rows for the revision levels. I want to edit the block to add another row.

The Text is attributed as shown here.

But when I go into block editor there is no text showing anywhere.

How do I edit the physical location of the text? Where is it?

I have checked and I don't see any hidden layers while in the block editor.

Any help would be appreciated. Clearly the text was populated some how.

"I need to do the LISP, and then enter the command makevisible afterwards.

So as I understand it, the LISP code creates the command, and then you enter the command afterwords, correct?"

 

The code defines a function, which in this case (because of the C:) can be run as if it were a command by typing the function name at the command line. Functions defined without this mechanism (sometimes called sub-functions) would have to be run within parentheses, e.g "(makevisible)".

 

"I.e. makevisible is not a standard AutoCAD command, but now it can be used because I created a script for it?"

 

AutoLISP code is somewhat like a script.

 

AutoCAD Help has a few sections devoted to AutoLISP:
