K,

It's very difficult to find the cause of the error without seeing the code. However, it appears that somewhere you are using a string with a nil value. See the couple of examples below to get you started:

(setq filename nil)
(strcat (getvar "DWGPREFIX") filename)

nil
; error: bad argument type: stringp nil

(setq filename (getvar "DWGNAME"))
(strcat (getvar "DWGPREFIX") filename)

"Drawing1.dwg"
"C:\\Users\\scottb\\Documents\\Drawing1.dwg"

Regarding base.dcl I'll let somebody else answer that, although I'm sure they'll ask "why?"

Hmmm. I'd really need to know what files you're loading and what their contents are before I can tell you what the problem is. Surely you must know that.

Ok if u want to know the exact problem than i will like to tell u that there is file acadppp.lsp which exist in the acad path and i know that this is not acad application file tell me who to remove this file because if i remove it comes back again.

base.dcl is AutoCAD's definition file for it's core dialog boxes as well as defining some basic element groups.

Deleting or renaming this file will have serious consequences to the behavior of those windows that have the "OK". "OK/CANCEL", and/or the "OK/CANCEL/HELP" buttons along the bottom...

OK i agree with u but what about the solution to my problem.

thanks

There is a virus for cad files that creates this acadappp.lsp and also some acad.lsp you can identify them by the size 110kb

delete in all your computers and networks files with those characteristics to solve your problem

avast antivirus detects it but panda and others does not
