I could use some help with creating a LISP file to generate wire labels. Here is how I would like the program to work (see screenshot).
User loads and runs routine 1. User is prompted to SELECT 1ST blocktxt. Program extracts the first 8 characters from the model tag, it skips counting spaces. Or extract all characters up to the left bracket, which ever comes first. Then append a colon and space
Here is the desired results on the Label layer from the drawing and pic below
DP DA 2: 1
I found this LISP that extracts all text from multiple blocks and converts it to mtext. https://autocadtips1.com/2011/04/26/autolisp-attribute-to-text-mtext/
And this LISP combines multiple selected text in to one mtext

I thought these two LISPs might be helpful as a starting place. |

I’ve had great experiences with Brother printers and their P-Touch software. They had a template for network cables to go off of and you can import labeling number schemes from an excel sheet. I had the same issue some months ago and couldn’t find a solution I was happy with. Now all cables in my network are fully documented and labeled. Best of luck! |
