error: Exception occurred: 0xC0000005 (Access Violation)

[Anonymous]

Using the snippet of code below, I get this error only on some layouts (not Model). Anyone seen this? Restoring cached viewports - Regenerating layout. Regenerating 948 modified entities. ; error: Exception occurred: 0xC0000005 (Access Violation) ; warning: unwind skipped on unknown exception (setq plotobj (vla-get-plot *adoc*)) (foreach x laylist (setq l-out (vla-item *layouts* x)) (vla-RefreshPlotDeviceInfo l-out) (vla-put-configname l-out (dos_getprn)) (vla-put-canonicalmedianame l-out "11x17") (vla-put-activelayout *adoc* l-out) (vla-plottodevice plotobj nil) ) -- Ken Alexander Acad2004 Windows2000 Prof. "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them." --Albert Einstein

Hi Ken, I've seen that error (or very similar) more than once but don't remember the exact situations. As you well know, you could wrap each vla statement in a catch all apply then read back the error-message to see which ones triggering it...course that may not explain why but it may give a direction to look... is the error consistent with the certain layouts? is it happening in a long loop of dwgs? couldn't be some weird memory issue? obviously you've confirmed each item in laylist is a valid layout name...hmmm what else could it be? (defun testforken() ;(or Getlayoutlist(load"LayoutFuncs")) (setq plotobj (vla-get-plot *doc*)) ;(setq laylist(GetLayoutList)) ;(or usedoslib (load"UtilFuncs")) ;(usedoslib) (foreach x laylist (if(vl-catch-all-error-p (setq l-out (vl-catch-all-apply 'vlax-invoke-method (list *layouts* 'item x))) );err (princ(vl-catch-all-error-message l-out)) (princ"\nItem method ok") ) (if(vl-catch-all-error-p (setq res (vl-catch-all-apply 'vla-RefreshPlotDeviceInfo (list l-out)))) (princ(vl-catch-all-error-message res)) (princ"\nRefreshPlotDeviceInfo ok") ) (if(vl-catch-all-error-p (setq res (vl-catch-all-apply 'vla-put-configname(list l-out (dos_getprn))))) (princ(vl-catch-all-error-message res)) (princ"\nput-configname ok") ) (if(vl-catch-all-error-p (setq res (vl-catch-all-apply 'vla-put-canonicalmedianame (list l-out "Letter"))));I had to change to letter for this printer (princ(vl-catch-all-error-message res)) (princ "\nput-canonicalmedianame ok") ) (if(vl-catch-all-error-p (setq res (vl-catch-all-apply 'vla-put-activelayout (list *doc* l-out)))) (princ(vl-catch-all-error-message res)) (princ"\nput active layout ok") ) (if(vl-catch-all-error-p (setq res (vl-catch-all-apply 'vla-plottodevice (list plotobj nil)))) (princ(vl-catch-all-error-message res)) (princ"\nplot to device ok") ) ) (princ) ) returned Item method ok RefreshPlotDeviceInfo ok put-configname ok put-canonicalmedianame ok put active layout ok plot to device ok for both layouts of a test dwg I had previously plotted from the two layouts manually to set the plot device "Ken Alexander" wrote in message news:40351c9d_3@newsprd01... > > Using the snippet of code below, I get this error only on some > layouts (not Model).

Mark, It's not consistent with certain layouts. At least I don't think so. I don't get the error but one or two times every couple weeks. I use this routine daily. Laylist is valid. I'm leaning toward one of two things. 1) I used this routine for almost a year using Acad2000 and dos_lib 2k. No problems Now I'm using Acad2004 and dos_lib 2004. Maybe something there. 2) Memory. I've got 512 meg and 4X that in virtual Memory. Hard to pin point a cause.

Ken,
I get those a lot, they seem to be related to a database conflict. 90+% of the time, reinstalling MDAC fixes the problem. go to microsoft.com, search for mdac, and download and install version 2.8.

Thanks Jeremiah, I give it a look. -- Ken Alexander Acad2004 Windows2000 Prof. "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them." --Albert Einstein "liftedaxis" wrote in message news:13204613.1077305248701.JavaMail.jive@jiveforum2.autodesk.com... > Ken, > I get those a lot, they seem to be related to a database conflict. 90+% of the time, reinstalling MDAC fixes the problem. go to microsoft.com, search for mdac, and download and install version 2.8. > --Jeremiah
