naming closed polylines and count

[cizimcenter]

I am working on curtainwall manufacturing drawing task in which I need to give unique number and need to make table with layer, width, length and count of each glass panel. Then i need to write names into each polylines center as a installation scheme.
But is it possible to add number with prefix and/or suffix (for example GL1-1,GL1-2,GL1-3) Automatically instead of just 1, 2, 3 ,4..... type number? A sample file is attached.
Can you please help with this?

Hey! Looks like we have the same job 🙂

Do you already have a LISP to generate the table on the right, or did you fill that out manually? 

[cizimcenter]

i did it manually and takes too much time. that's why i need to automate.

Bonjour @cizimcenter 

There are several possibilities to do this.
I’ll start with the simplest one.
Would you agree to use a dynamic block to make this kind of drawing?
If so, it will be possible to add attributes and extract them to a table.
If you do not agree with this method, I will think about something else.

Bonjour @-didier- 

clients usually send drawings as polylines. they convert 3d to 2d drawings from rhino or revit. if possible, i prefer a solution using poylines.

Bonjour @cizimcenter 

Of course! If you don’t say all this complicates the thing to help you.
How could I know that you are not the author of these polylines?
OK, I will think of something that starts from these polylines as starting hypothesis.
We stay in touch.

A couple of ideas you need to make a list of each rectang,  length & height & entityname, can then sort the list, then label the rectang, add the label to a new list. Do a count on the new list and draw a table.

Ok next option copy the rectangs to seperate objects do dims of the objects as seen on bottom of dwg.

Next step is send  to Excel ? Can do as part of make table or I have send a table to excel.

Thats a few steps, not a 5 minute job.

I dont know if you have seen this movie.

Added to my to do list it is getting bigger.

Have you considered getting a programmer on board ? There are many here who do customer work, yes you will need to pay. But you would provide a list of tasks including this one. Time savings can be immense a task manually around 3 hours now its 2 minutes.

Currently, I am at this solution, it is not finished, but I propose it before creating the table.
I take as reference the surface to associate the identical windows, therefore I do not draw in the same position the texts as your example, which is based on the starting point lower left.
Is it okay with you, or do I have to think again?

Code looks good @-didier- just a comment would the lower left panel be Gl-100 as a starting label not GL-101 ? I have a rotate pline vertices to lower left if you need it. Neede for another project. Can help in the sorting process.by lower left.

Attached send a Table to Excel your welcome to use it.

This AutoCAD add-on will solve your problem.
Here - MyPropertiesCAD 
I remind the administrator - this is user assistance on the forum.

After which you can create a table of all objects.

After a while I will try to give a bigger example.

Hi @-didier- 

it is OK. Names can be at the geometric centers of the polylines. naming from lower left is not compulsory. If would, it will be better.

[-didier-]

Bonjour @cizimcenter 

I think good news should come soon.
I managed to increment from the bottom left.
I copied several times a few windows to check if the identical windows had the same label.
For me, it is OK, and You ?.
I will continue to process the table.

Hi @-didier- 

it works perfectly. That's what i need. thanks.

Hello @cizimcenter,

I developed the command. Attaching the video for your reference.

[cizimcenter]

@mohammedhussain.noyadaKS7M4 

can you share the lisp file also?

[-didier-]

Bonjour @cizimcenter 

I prefer to separate into different commands.
So the next one will be like this :

I work slowly because I do many other things at the same time.
When everything is effective, I will deliver the code.
Then we can make comparisons, because I’m glad to see that other members are interested in your question.
All ideas are good to take.

@mohammedhussain.noyadaKS7M4 you can set the width of the columns of a table, no need to pick and stretch. Same with start at settextheight for table.

(vla-setcolumnwidth objtable 0 17) ; column 0 width

Bonjour @cizimcenter 

As I said, I’m not quick to answer because I do several things.
This is my current version.
I rely on the end of the application, but I just realized that I have not treated well the lengths and widths. I will do it again.
I preferred to make three commands, it allows you to cut the phases. That’s my point of view.
If you prefer a single, complete action, it can be done without much effort.

By choosing to filter on surfaces to detect identical windows, I realize a limit, if two different windows have the same area

the program will create only one reference. I’ll work on that.

Hi @-didier- 

the current version is OK. no problem, better late than never.

and three commands may be more useful.
