McSwain: This is a very nice solution to a Xlist command limitation that could prevent a long layer name from displaying correctly. (/= (vl-file-size oldxlist) (vl-file-size newxlist)) (setq newxlist (findfile "serverPathLocationxlist.lsp"))
#Civil 3d xlist hangs update
You also can use acaddoc.lsp over a network to update the xlist.lsp file by adding this code in it. If you have AutoLISP knoledge, you can use this function to show more information about the selected entities such as handle, elevation, coordinate points, etc. Additionally, it won't search for any DCL file. (if (/= sLineType "")(setq line6 (strcat "Linetype: " sLineType " ")))īy using an alert box instead of a DCL file, it prevents AutoCAD from hiding some important information with long layer names. (if (/= sColor "")(setq line5 (strcat "Color: " sColor " "))) (if (/= sLayer "")(setq line4 (strcat "Layer: " sLayer " "))) (if (/= sObjectType "")(setq line3 (strcat "Object: " sObjectType " "))) (if (/= sStyleName "")(setq line2 (strcat "Text Style: " sStyleName " "))(setq line2 "")) (if (/= sBlockname "")(setq line1 (strcat "Block Name: " sBlockname " "))(setq line1 "")) (setq sAcadPath (substr sAcad 1 (- (strlen sAcad) 8))) (defun DisplayDialog ( / sAcad sAcadPath line1 line2 line3 line4 line5 line6 ) OR paste the replacement DisplayDialog function shown below, AFTER the one currently in the file

C3D will not lock up and you can continue. If you are good, or lucky, the task (s) will finish. This will happen from time to time, the absolute best thing to do. Put the entire DisplayDialog function in comment by putting a semicolon ( ) character on each line. Re: Civil 3D locks up during certain operations. Open the file via the LISP editor (Vlide command) or simply with Notepad. You can find it by using (findfile "xlist.lsp") at the Command line. The solution is to modify the XLIST.LSP file.

Delete Features with End of Part MarkerĮver had a problem where you can’t see the entire layer name when using the Xlist dialog box?.
