Help with Linetype/Psltscale code please?

[ShelleyM]

Hi,

I have a routine that I copied from one of your forums, not sure if it is lisp? Anyway, it is supposed to set the linetype variables to 1, but I would also like it to regenall. And can anyone tell me if I can use this in a button or is it supposed to be placed in the command line? I am really new to this so all help is greatly appreciated! I am using Autocad Architectural 2009.

 

Thanks,

 

Shelley

;sets msltscale, ltscale & psltscale=1 for all layouts

(defun c:layoutltscale ( / lay ct)

(setq ct (getvar "ctab"))

(setvar "ltscale" 1)

(setvar "msltscale" 1)

(foreach lay (layoutlist)(command "_layout" "_Set" lay "_mspace" "psltscale" 1))

(setvar "ctab" ct)

);defun

Welcome to the forum!

 

 

To add regenall, just add (command "regenall") to the code.

 

to put the whole function in a button, make this the button macro:

 

^c^c_layoutltscale

Yes, it is a Lisp routine. The name of the routine is indicated after the letter .

 

Might I suggest you become familiar with lisp by directing you to our AutoCAD FAQ section? Look in category 10: Customization. The topic you want is entitled How do I use a Lisp routine?" This article will tell you how a lisp routine can be run from the command line.

 

Yes, you could also assign this routine to a button. Have you ever created a button? Have you done any customization at all?

Thank you Uddfl and ReMark!

 

You are both kind to be so helpful, and yes I have done lisp and made buttons but it has been almost 11 years (in school)! I really enjoyed lisp back then, but never got back into it, and literally forgot it all. Now I thought I would try to play again, and I will definetly take both of your suggestions.
