modifying a lisp for rename the layouts

hello everyone,

 

I have download this lisp from on of the website, I'm just looking if someone can modify it to make it more smart and fast to work, this lisp is to change the layout name as per the template attribute or text or mtext. 

however this does it one by one, is there a way to make it for all the layouts in the viewports. 

thanks

I take it there is a block on the layout tab as the source for the new layout name? or are ou wanting to prompt the user per layout tab? maybe because its not always an attribute but TEXT or MTEXT? 

 

?? And that somehow confuse us more ??

 

Need more info @waseemtarik  a sample perhaps?

@pbejse Hi, this lisp can change the layout name into titleblock name but I only can do it one by one.

I need a way of having it as automatically. so I don't need to select each layout and run the lisp

@pbejse I don't know how to do screenshare or screen video, but here's a website maybe it can help. as you can see it changes one by one

So its from a block then? and if somehow the name already exist and cannot be use again for another layout what will happen then?

usually the titleblock name won't be repeated, however I want once I select the text/Mtext/attribute of the titleblock, it will generate all layouts to be upgraded as per the name of the titleblock. 

let me know if this can be modified. 

thanks

@devitg I uploaded a file, as you can see that layouts name don't match titleblock. I have more than 200 layouts. I don't want to rename each one, it'll take time. with this lisp I can rename one by one, by selecting the attribute.

looking for a way to make it rename all of the layouts to match my titleblock name or text. thanks

Only now that this statement makes sense:

"make it for all the layouts in the viewports."

 

"I have more than 200 layouts." a

Are you saying that all 200 titleblock is on model space? how are arrange? left to right ? or in rows?  All the layout tabs already exist and matches the number of titile block on model space?

How is the titleblock numbered? always with a "-" and a number? "E7-12" ?

@pbejse IN A ROW, ALL TITLEBLOCK ARE IN MODEL SPACE. 

Message 12 of 15

@pbejse yes always E(number)-(number) 

example E1-1 

E1-2

E1-3

E45-1

E45-2

E45-3

E45-4

etc...

If your dwg with 200 layouts matches the sample with a layout containing the single title block this may work, but its very driven by an exact match in same location for the attribute dwg#

 

(defun rlayouts ( / pt2 pt3 ss lst)
(setq oldsnap (getvar 'osmode))
(setvar 'osmode 0)
(vlax-for lay (vla-get-Layouts (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object)))
(setq layname (vla-get-name lay))
(if (/= "Model" layname)
(progn
(setvar 'ctab layname)
(command "._mspace")
(setq pt2 (trans (list 865 22) 3 0))
(setq pt3 (trans (list 835 37) 3 0))
(setq lst (list pt2 pt3))
(if (setq ss (ssget "F" lst))
(progn
(setq ent (ssname ss 0))
(command "chspace" ent "" )
(command "._pspace")
(foreach att (vlax-invoke (vlax-ename->vla-object (entlast)) 'getattributes)
        (if (= "DWG#" (strcase (vla-get-tagstring att)))
