Greating a lisp to get a rectangle and impotting a block in it

[CadFrank]

Hi i would have another interresting question regarding the insertion on a block in a box .. it it possible to put in a dynamic block according a visibility name

I am out of this as I have no idea what is involved when it comes to dynamic blocks. Never had a chance to work with them.

Yes, if you're adept at Visual LISP.

 

Look into applying this:

 

(vlax-put-property [color=red]<VisibilityPropertyObject>[/color] 'vlaue [color=red]<VisibilityStateName>[/color])

 

... on the resulting DynamicBlockProperties Object when using the GetDynamicBlockProperties Method on the Block Object (

 

Edit: The value being applied to the must be included in the AllowedValues Property for the same Object.

You may need to use:

 

(vla-put-value [color=red]<DynamicBlockProperty>[/color] 
 (vlax-make-variant [color=red]<VisibilityStateName>[/color] (vlax-variant-type (vla-get-value [color=red]<DynamicBlockProperty>[color=black])))
)

 

See here for a set of Dynamic Block Functions.

Perhaps I've misremembered (and misrepresented) supplying a String in lieu of a Variant for the value... It has been a while since I wrote the only routine I used for Dynamic Blocks??? If I have, then I apologize.

 

I'm trying to teach myself too much, purging information I've already learned (or so I thought!). LoL

 

Cheers!

I've always used the method shown without problem - no need to apologise Renderman.

Hey well i started to read my book but i don't think is fully adapted to autolisp. I can't see what the description of "vla" anywhere. I'm still trying to understand alot of thing for autolisp can't see to understand how to put all the script together. but i guess ill eventually figure it out.

 

But any how! should i intergrate the routine up there with the routine you gave me this morning?

 

So ill leave you on this and try to read up somemore to understand everything.

Perhaps look at this: http://docs.autodesk.com/ACD/2011/ENU/filesALG/WS73099cc142f4875516d84be10ebc87a53f-7c00.htm

 

Unfortunately AutoDesk (in their infinite wisdom) has decided to omit the ActiveX/COM references from the online help. The only place I can still get at it is using my 2008's acadauto.chm file.
