;;; --------------------------------------------------------------------- ;;; EXTFIX-bgol.lsp ;;; Command: EXF ;;; ;;; PURPOSE ;;; Scans every entity in the drawing and resets any non-default ;;; extrusion direction (DXF group 210) back to the normal (0,0,1) ;;; value. Some drawings contain entities created under a non-default ;;; UCS that carry a nonzero extrusion vector, causing them to behave ;;; or display unexpectedly. Running this routine is a safe first-pass ;;; recovery step: it has no visible effect on unaffected drawings. ;;; ;;; USAGE ;;; 1. Load this file (APPLOAD or drag-drop onto the drawing window). ;;; 2. Type EXF at the command line and press Enter. ;;; 3. The routine scans all entities and resets any non-default ;;; extrusion vector to (0.0 0.0 1.0). ;;; ;;; CAVEAT ;;; Some entities may shift position slightly as a side effect of the ;;; correction, since overwriting group 210 without recalculating the ;;; entity's stored coordinates relative to the new extrusion can ;;; change how those coordinates are interpreted. Review affected ;;; entities' positions after running this command. ;;; ;;; NOTES ;;; - This is an original, independently written implementation. ;;; It is INSPIRED by the general idea of extrusion-direction ;;; recovery utilities common in CAD drawing-repair workflows, but ;;; the code, command name and file name here are new and are NOT ;;; copied from, nor identical to, any specific third-party ;;; product. ;;; ;;; --------------------------------------------------------------------- ;;; Developed and shared for the CAD community by: BGol Community ;;; Community website: https://bgol.in/ ;;; License: Open-source & free to use, modify, and share for all. ;;; Provided "as is", without warranty of any kind. ;;; --------------------------------------------------------------------- (vl-load-com) (defun BGOL:EXF-IsDefaultExtrusion (vec / tol) (setq tol 1e-6) (and vec (< (abs (- (car vec) 0.0)) tol) (< (abs (- (cadr vec) 0.0)) tol) (< (abs (- (caddr vec) 1.0)) tol)) ) (defun C:EXF ( / ss n i ent edata extpair fixed skipped result) (setq ss (ssget "_X")) (if ss (progn (setq fixed 0) (setq skipped 0) (setq n (sslength ss)) (setq i 0) (while (< i n) (setq ent (ssname ss i)) (setq edata (entget ent)) (setq extpair (assoc 210 edata)) (if (and extpair (not (BGOL:EXF-IsDefaultExtrusion (cdr extpair)))) (progn (setq result (vl-catch-all-apply 'entmod (list (subst (cons 210 '(0.0 0.0 1.0)) extpair edata)) ) ) (if (vl-catch-all-error-p result) (setq skipped (1+ skipped)) (setq fixed (1+ fixed)) ) ) ) (setq i (1+ i)) ) (princ (strcat "\nEXF: reset extrusion direction on " (itoa fixed) " entity(ies) to normal (0,0,1)."))
