I do these things because I like to do them for fun (and sometimes a bucket of sweat) (and swears) but generaly speaking , as a hobby it's fun , but as soon as money gets involved , it kinda takes away the fun and turns it into responsibility you know...

"so this has cost me a lot of time" Maybe donate to rlx for his time.

haven't got in on my phone (defun wait ( time ) ....) but you could put that between each zoom (so routine run its course) or (grread) so user can press any key to advance to next poly but think that will only be fun for the first ten thousand poly's

you're welcome, now go and impress your boss, get a pay raise and then (if applicable) impress your wife and your mother-in-law

Try this out. It's helpful to type out commands to make sure you have the correct sequence. (defun c:qr (/ lyr) (setq lyr (tblsearch "layer" "A_arc")) (if (= (cdr (assoc 62 lyr)) 255) (progn (command "-layer" "c" "252" "A_arc" "") (command "-layer" "unlock" "A_arc" "") ; Unlock ) (progn (command "-layer" "c" "255" "A_arc" "") (command "-layer" "lock" "A_arc" "") ; Lock ) ) (princ) )

haha , blame the if anything goes wrong hey BTW , I've updated previous code , the is dead (i hope) , long live the

Slightly off topic, for me Electrical Single Lines I make up a blank layout via a LISP and add the texts in after, something that could be done here but would need a change of philosophy from having the data in the format above. Was just posting this to amuse RLX.... made this up a while ago, the output below contains the default texts - something that would never be in a finished drawing and is easy to spot if I miss something:

voila (well almost, just see in picture upper right clamp has no summarized value , darn , will kill that bug later) updated : smashed the bug Symbols.zip RlxSnake.lsp

Works fine here as well. Nice LISP.

I have to give up as I have said multiple times everyday our projects were big numbers. Never had problems. Just a thought do you have objects z =0 and z= 123456789 that could be the problem we get that with civil projects surface at a Z linework at 0.

I do stuff for beer money at times and like you they usually get way more than what they asked for with extra programs etc and have a direct line to ask other questions.

Thanx for the recommendation Bigal but I'm not in it for the money. When 'they' pay they'll own (or think they do) a piece of your soul but I'm a 'dragon' so I'm never gonna be anyone's ... well it starts with a b and it gives me an itch haha

Check also ATTREQ it controls wether it allows for entry of attributes.

Yes you can use commands in Revit even though it doesn't have the command line. I use similar keyboard shortcuts in AutoCAD and Revit so I don't get confused. To setup your keyboard shortcuts, go to File pulldown menu then Options. Under options > User Interface, there is a keyboard Shortcuts in the Right Panel. Click "Customized" and input your desired shortcuts Off-topic : A bit off-topic but might interest you. In AutoCAD we use AutoLISP to automate our task. In Revit there;s this thing called Dynamo, a visual programming software... for me, it is easier to use than AutoLisp..

If you do want current layout only add. (cons 410 (getvar 'ctab))

Ok 1st up posting a dwg is always best as it shows what your working with. I don't use set or get property as not supported in my Bricscad. Just a comment I would probably convert the table block to a list of attributes easier to loop through. The other is I use creation order of blocks a lot as don't need to worry about tag names. If your creating a dwg index I make a "TABLE" it is created by reading from the layouts the title block attributes and populates a "TABLE" so if change revisions just delete and create again. Used this on 88 layouts dwg. Its fast.

This is the first 'proof of concept' version. Its not yet complete , still have to add routine to add lines between symbols , line connecting rows and auto-sum distances for clamps , but have been at this from last thursday evening until now (sunday evening) so this has cost me a lot of time so far and also have to deal with big work related challenges this week (just so you know ) RlxSnake.lsp A3.dwg BJC.dwg Clamp.dwg GP.dwg GP-Clamp.dwg POP.dwg

Thank You @Steven P and @mhupp here's the code that works (made some changes, syntax errors really nothing major) (setq obj (ssname (ssget "_X" (list '(0 . "INSERT") '(2 . "MARS_Petcare_US Title Block") )) 0) ) Works great!!

Custom routines are easy to get to do a task like this, its called Pay For it. I write custom routines and yes get paid. Did you contact the Youtube person ?
