  1. Hi all, Again I have found a lisp Lee Mac made that copies a field into a dimension, "copyfield", but it requires that the field already exists... So is there a way to create a field from an attribute in a block and then insert the field directly into a dimension? Thanks in advance.

Is there an easy way (lisp or othe...
  3. Hi there! I have a lisp that saves a custom variable in my dwg. (the custom tab in dwgprops command) I want to insert that value in a field and manipulate it a little bit, but it's a string. Is it possible to convert it to a float inside the formula box in the field editor? I've tried w...
  4. I have several blocks that have fields created withing them, when I insert the block into a drawing then go to Drawing Utilities -> Drawing Properties those fields are not in the list to edit. I know how to go through the tedious steps of manually re-entering every single field b...

  7. Hello, I have a lengthy lisp routine that hasn't been updated in years. It is strictly for Custom Field Insertions and I do not remember how to edit it.

  9. Hopefully I am just unaware of a setting or method for doing this but so far the field command is handy but missing something. Associative updates. When a polyline is drawn and used for calculating the area the field command does a quick job of extracting that info into a field text element. P...

  11. Hi everyone, I have a quite a specific question relating to auto-filling fields that are inserted into text.

  12. Hello, I am trying to figure out a way to get all of my common data (detail numbers, sheet numbers, and when I bubble an item from my BOM) to update easier. The best way I found to do this seems to be using Field. Field works with regular text really well, but I cant figure out how to get the...
  13. Hello, I don't even know where to begin... I'm trying to construct a scale bar that can be linked with a chosen viewport, upon insertion into paperspace. Civil3d 2015 already has several of these "preloaded" in the Layout Element panel, but these scalebars are not "smart", requiring input f...
  14. Hi I am new to using fields, and I am having an issue. I wish to link two mtexts, so when the first is edited, the second updates to display the same text, similar to the =CELL function in excel. I use Field>Object>no format, yet it displays to complete contents, including font...
  15. Hi to all, Please someone knows if its possible to create a field on a text form that could count a number of texts inside a drawing?... Eg.: I have the word "L1" 10 times in a drawing, it's possible to create a field that show me how many L1 I have in this drawing? Count of L1 = [10]; t...
  16. Does anyone know of a field expression or lisp routine that will allow me to display a count of the number of polylines on any specified layer? I would like the number displayed to be able to update as I add polylines to the layer, just as an area field expression would update on regen. Thanks v...
  17. I am creating a Block with attribute "X" in which X is a field calling the attribute in my section mark block. Is there any mean to show where X is referencing? I know there is a routine Showfieldlink.lsp which draws to the parent object. But the routine does not work with attribute.

  19. Hi, I have a lot of lines and I need the Total length, I have them in a separate layer, I have tried with Field and Dataextraction but it is not exactly what I need, or I did not do it exactly. For Field, I can not select all line. Dataextraction takes all lines in the drawing, I need lines th...

The other attribute is titled location. I am told if needed, all these quantities can be totaled per drawing. It has a title of "location". Two t...
  21. Hey All, If you are familiar with the "Fields" associated with text attributes, you may be able to answer my question.. If you set up a date to fill-in automatically when you open a drawing, will it update from day to day? Or once its set up, will it remain on that date..? Please let me...
  22. Hi guys, I have a requirement to create a block with a few attributes, but the attributes require a bit of composition behind the scenes. Here's an abstract example. I need a block that represents a computer's identity. Each computer has 2 references that need to result in attributes that I...
  23. Hi All: I'm looking for a lisp that will help accomplish the most mundane part of drafting - creating a coordinates table. I've found lisps on the internet that can do this, and actually work very well, here's an example: http://www.cadlispandtips.com/2011/09/lisp-coordinates-with-table....
