assoc???

how do i get two points out of this item... I want the first two (10 ? ?)
points... the item is a pline shaped to be a closed rectangle... the first
two (10 ? ?) are the start point and the next point entered...

Select object: ((-1 . <Entity name: 400edf10>) (0 . "LWPOLYLINE") (330 .
<Entity name: 400edcf8>) (5 . "62") (100 . "AcDbEntity") (67 . 0) (410 .
"Model") (8 . "0") (100 . "AcDbPolyline") (90 . 4) (70 . 1) (43 . 0.0) (38 .
0.0) (39 . 0.0) (10 8.65821 1.5892) (40 . 0.0) (41 . 0.0) (42 . 0.0) (10
9.32908 1.92449) (40 . 0.0) (41 . 0.0) (42 . 0.0) (10 9.32908 48.8775) (40 .
0.0) (41 . 0.0) (42 . 0.0) (10 8.65821 48.5422) (40 . 0.0) (41 . 0.0) (42 .
0.0) (210 0.0 0.0 1.0))

 

(defun LWPolylist (/ ent)
(setq ent (car (entsel "\nSelect LWPolyline: < pick > ")))
(if (equal (cdr (assoc 0 (entget ent))) "LWPOLYLINE") ;check entity
(progn
(setq ent (entget ent)
) ; setq
(foreach n ent
(if (= (car n) 10)
(setq verlist (cons (cdr n) verlist)
)
)
) ;end foreach.
) ;end progn.
) ;end first if.
(setq pt1 (nth 0 (reverse verlist))
pt2 (nth 1 (reverse verlist)))
) ;end LWPolylist

 

(vl-remove-if 'null

(mapcar

'(lambda (a)

(if (= (car a) 10) a)

)

elist

)

)


where elist is the entity data list. This will strip all but dxf code 10's
from the list. Then use car and cadr to get 1st and second items.

HTH,

Devin

 

thanks...

 

If you need to keep the 40-41-42 values then just adjust the code as
follows...
(vl-remove-if 'null
(mapcar
'(lambda (a)
(cond
((= (car a) 10) a)

((= (car a) 40) a)

((= (car a) 41) a)

((= (car a) 42) a)
)
)
elist
)
)

 

I see it's time to update more of my code.

Thanks

Bill

 

I still prefer the good 'ole massoc function that
has been floating around here *forever*

 

Jason,

Why?

Bill

 

(vl-remove-if-not
'(lambda (x) (member (car x) '(10 40 41 42)))
lst
)

)

elist
)
)

 

Actually if you wanted to get optimized...

(vl-remove-if-not
(mapcar
'(lambda (a)
(setq dxf (car a))
(if
(or (= dxf 10) (= dxf 40) (= dxf 41) (= dxf 42))
a
)
)
elist
)
)

That way you can buffer the (car a). The member would only return a 10 or
41 etc and not the data with it, right?

I think we responded at the same time, jinks you owe me a coke

 

Michael,

My apologies, I stand corrected, I didn't realize that you could do that.
But I tested your code and sure enough. It works.

Good Job,

Devin

 

(vl-remove-if-not

I miss understood Michael's post and code. Here's one that works too...

(vl-remove-if 'null
(mapcar
'(lambda (a)
(setq dxf (car a))
(if
(or (= dxf 10) (= dxf 40) (= dxf 41) (= dxf 42))
a
)
)
elist
)
)
