Insert Block on Multiple Circles (Circle Center Point)

[ELIANDEFI]

Hi All,

Could anyone help me create a LISP for Inserting Block on Multiple Circles (Circle Center Point).

Note:

Insertion of a Block to Circle Center Point

Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Add your block name in the program below as indicated in the codes and this should work with regular blocks and not with attributed blocks, because attributed blocks require more codes to fill out the values based on the blocks' settings.

  (setq bkn "MyBlock") ;; Replace MyBlock with your correct name.

  (and (or (tblsearch "BLOCK" bkn)
           (alert (strcat "Block Name < " bkn " > was not found !"))
       )
       (princ (strcat "\nSelect circles to position < "
                      bkn
                      " > over them : "
              )
       )
       (setq int -1
             sel (ssget '((0 . "CIRCLE")))
       )
       (while (setq int (1+ int)
                    ent (ssname sel int)
              )
         (entmake (list '(0 . "INSERT")
                        (cons 2 bkn)
                        (assoc 10 (entget ent))
                        '(41 . 1.0)
                        '(42 . 1.0)
                        '(43 . 1.0)
                  )
         )
       )
  )
  (princ)
)

More structured code using ActiveX and only copying (instead of inserting) selected block without keyboard entry.
