Can you forgive me because I took it as a compliment to you? But what's the meaning of understand for you? I give example what I need but you give me very beautiful code that does the same as the code of expert Mac Lee... Those codes are sophisticated but I'm not one step further because that was not what I asked. Of course I'm grateful for your time/code and can certainly learn a lot from it. I'm here to learn from you, not to be told I don't understand something. Just explain what people don't understand. Edited June 9, 2022 by Leika 1 Quote
Steven P Posted June 9, 2022 Posted June 9, 2022 I thought I had it there for a moment, but not quite.... See below, and perhaps someone can point me in the right direction later. This isn't finished yet, it will need things like the cmdecho turning off temporarily and the error stopping, little tidying up. This will work, copy mtext and text as required. The base point will move with the text which I thought was useful. I have used a few of the parts from your example and of course refer to that. My problem is the copy loop and how to exit it, at the moment the copy loop will end on escape or with a right mouse click (as requested), problem is that it won't now exit with a space bar or an enter... does anyone know how to force a loop to finish if an enter or space is pressed within it? Or to detect if a space or enter was pressed during the last command (Looked briefly at grread, that might work), thanks See the code below, highlighted in ';;;;;;;;;;;;' what I a meaning (defun c:inctext ( / myent lstpt nxtpt) ;;;; Sub routines ;;;; (defun *Error* (Msg) (cond ((or (not Msg) (member Msg '("console break" "Function cancelled" "quit / exit abort")))) ((princ (strcat "\nError: " Msg))) ) (setvar "cmdecho" 1) (princ) ) (defun wcfilter ( string pattern / i c result ) (setq result "" i 0) (repeat (strlen string) (if (wcmatch (setq c (substr string (setq i (1+ i)) 1)) pattern) (setq result (strcat result c)) ) ) result ) (defun numbinc (myent Inc / NewNum ) (setq Lst (entget myent)) (setq OldStr (cdr (assoc 1 (entget myent)))) (setq OldNum (read (wcfilter OldStr "[0-9 .]"))) ;;check if a number (if (numberp OldNum) (progn (setq Res (+ Inc OldNum)) (setq Res (vl-princ-to-string Res)) (setq OldNum (vl-princ-to-string OldNum)) (setq NewStr (vl-string-subst Res OldNum OldStr 0)) ;;Number increased (setq Lst (entget myent)) ;;entget new text (setq Lst (subst (cons 1 NewStr) (assoc 1 Lst) Lst)) ;;substitute in new number (up to 250 characters) (entmod Lst) ;;modify (entupd myent) ;;update ) ;end progn (princ "\nNumber not found in text object ") ) ;end if ) ;;; End Sub;;;; (setq Inc 1) (if (setq myss (ssget "_+.:E:S" '((0 .

Yes, though we are dong this in 2 different ways, mine works using (Command "copy"...... ) which allows the OP visual representation of the copied text as it is being copied, selecting the points is done within the command, your points are selected outside of the copy command and then copies the text (which is a lot easier to include some code to end the loop)? I can ask the user to select points before the copy line but then you loose the visual of the text moving, So to escape my loop ideally I am looking for a way to detect whether a space or enter is pressed during the (Command "copy".... ), once I know how to do that I can put in an end to the loop Quote

Steven P Posted June 10, 2022 Posted June 10, 2022 no, I don't know grread well, I have tried it today but am not getting anything I am happy with yet. Also I am gong to look at Lee Macs IncarrayD - think somewhere on his website there is a description of what he does to make objects visible as you copy or move them - which is what I was trying to do here I'll try your suggestion later or over the weekend.
