set attribute values automatically according to plan name

Hello, people,

New question : I want to change the values of attributes according to the dwgname. For example, when dwgname is “…SAR-01..dwg”, attribute TITRE 1 to be “STRING1a”,TITRE2 to be “STRING 1b”, ECHELLE_H to be “1:100”, when dwgname is “…SAR-02..dwg”, the three values to be “STRING 2a”, “STRING 2b” and “1:20” respectively, etc.. ; the block is attached; the name is “FR_ATTR_T*”.

 

also if this routine can open each plan in a folder , carry out lisp routine, in paper space, zoom to extent, save, quit. the path could be "I:\P_11100\11175\CAD\01-Station"; attention: make sure files in subfolder wouldn't be opened, only for those in said folder.

 

many thanks,

As for the 1st part, this will do:

 

(cond 
   ((not (= (vl-string-search "SAR-01" (getvar "DWGNAME")) nil))
      (setq TITRE1 "STRING 1a"
            TITRE2 "STRING 1b"
            ECHELLE_H "1:100")
   )
   ((not (= (vl-string-search "SAR-02" (getvar "DWGNAME")) nil))
      (setq TITRE1 "STRING 2a"
            TITRE2 "STRING 2b"
            ECHELLE_H "1:20")
   )
)
(setq ss (ssget "X" (list (cons 0 "INSERT")))
      i 0)
(if ss
   (progn
      (while (< i (sslength ss))
         (setq ent (entget (ssname ss i)))
         (while (setq ent (entnext (cdr (assoc -1 ent))))
            (setq ent (entget ent))
            (if (= (cdr (assoc 0 ent)) "ATTRIB")
               (cond
                  ((= (cdr (assoc 2 ent)) "TITRE1")
                     (setq ent (subst (cons 1 TITRE1)(assoc 1 ent) ent))
                     (entmod ent)
                  )
                  ((= (cdr (assoc 2 ent)) "TITRE2")
                     (setq ent (subst (cons 1 TITRE2)(assoc 1 ent) ent))
                     (entmod ent)
                  )
                  ((= (cdr (assoc 2 ent)) "ECHELLE_H")
                     (setq ent (subst (cons 1 ECHELLE_H)(assoc 1 ent) ent))
                     (entmod ent)
                  )
               )
            )
         )
         (setq i (+ 1 i))
      )
   )
)

For the second part you should know that's not possible, just like that. A AutoLISP file runs within a drawing and can not open another one & continue running.

 

To do something like that you need to create a batch file (*.scr) to open each drawing, load the lisp file with the above code, run it, save the drawing, & repeat...

Here's the smallest version i could produce, to create a script to run the lisp on a collection of files from a selected directory.

Note: It uses express tools for the directory & file selection, as well as the confirmation dialog.

 

It is best to start a new drawing, or have one (only 1) drawing open, without any pending changes, as the script would fail to 'save changes?'

The script needs SDI to run, so having more as 1 drawing open will crash the script.

Make sure all files are writeable, as read-only files will crash the script.

 

Set the right paths for locating the lisp script, inside the init section.

 

Use C:DNBV (Drawing Name Based Values) to select directory & generate the script to run the code i posted earlier (included as C:DNBV_RUN) on all dwg files there. (Not including subdirs)

 

The script file will be automatically executed at the end & can be found in c:\temp (set in init section) for reviewing.

 

After running the DNBV_RUN function, it will perform a zoom extent & QSAVE on all drawings. If you wish for more commands, you can easily add them to the code.
