old lisp does not work now

[dani_cs]

Hi all,

I used a wonderfull lisp too long ago. Ýesterday, I needed to use it, but I was receiving an error. The lisp is for creating automatic layouts. Steps are these:

 1. I have an attribute block which represents the size of viewport in layout according to plan scale (I have to scale that block in X and Y for that)

 2. I align that blocks to the axis of the road (for example, 30 blocks in total). Axis road is in layer "0" for example.

 3. Then, I configure the first viewport plot config and I go to model space again and I execute demo.lsp.

 4. Finally, it would appears 30 layouts according to the numbers of block, witch UCS align.

but it is not working now and I do not find the error. Maybe I forgot some step.

I am attaching the lisp and block.

Thanks all!

The block name needs to be SHEET

@dani_cs hi,

it's not working cause you are not using the correct block (sheet - with the expected attributes)

also this lisp does not support dynamic blocks.

Thanks for your response.

It is possible that I changed block name. So, I renamed it to "SHEET" and it is still not working. I am attaching a dwg sample and the lisp I use for align the bock with increment attributes. I saw that the new blocks created are anonymous. Could be it the problem?

Well... your LISP seems to be looking for an ATTRIBUTE called NUMBER, which does not exist

So...

@dani_cs ,

Attach is your lisp modified to support "Num-hoja" as attribute for layout name.

be aware that you must use VG as your block name.

enjoy

Hello @Moshe-A 

thanks for replying.

I tried the lisp but it is not still working. I think it could be the anonymous block created with the other lisp I attached. I copied the first block called "VG", then I changed the number of attributes to "02" and executed your demo.lsp version. Just only the 2 layout was created but not exactly how it must be.

I am attaching the second test drawing.

Thanks in advance.

@dani_cs ,

Yes you are right, the blocks from 03 are product of another application (lisp)

it is better you replace them to be VG.

Hello @Moshe-A 

Yes, I use a lisp to align the block to the road axis, while the attributes of block "VG" are incremented. But, I do not know why it makes anonymous block. In the past, the blocks created by that lisp were "VG" too.

I am attaching that lisp called "pagbloc2"

Thanks in advance.

@dani_cs ,

The lisp is perfectly ok. if at "Select block: " you pick anonymous block, the outcome is exactly what you got.

Moshe

Hello @Moshe-A 

But "VG" is not actually an anonymous block, isn't it? So, why does the lisp create anonymous block?

[Moshe-A]

looks like you did not read this:-

"if at "Select block: " you pick anonymous block, the outcome is exactly what you got."

but you can easy fix this, just delete all the blocks put again the first one, make sure it is VG and run your lisp

[dani_cs]

Hello @Moshe-A 

Yes, I read it, but I think I did not explain very well.

The first block is already "VG". I use "pagbloc2" lisp to copy and align "VG" blocks while incrementing attributes. But the problem is that all new blocks are anonymous although the seed (I mean first block) is "VG". You can try. 

[Moshe-A]

yes did try it and all the blocks came out VG

[dani_cs]

@Moshe-A Really?

I do not know what the problem is then....
