Script Problem

[Anonymous]

Ok, I tried to make a simple upside down parabola in CAD by the equation y=-x^2. So I follow the intructions and did all the stuff in Excel and Word and the script file even ran, but it comes out different every time I run it. Sometimes it will not pass through the origin even though there is a point 0,0 in it or sometimes it seems like it will just skip points all together. Here is a condensed version of what I have:

pline
-5,-25
-4,-16
-3.-9
-2.-4
-1,-1
0,0
1,1
2,-4
3,-9
4,-16
5,-25

Does anyone have any ideas about what may be going on? Please help.

Thanks

First, try posting in the Customization group, where things like scripts and
LISP are discussed on a regular basis.

Second, no one will be able to offer a lot of help unless you post at least
the important portions of your script.

instructions and used excel and then word to create the script file and that
is all fine, but when I run it, I can tell that the lines are not where they
are supposed to be. No line even passes through the origin even though when
I look at the script file in the command line, there is a 0,0 point. Plus, I
thought it should look like a mirror image, but some lines are longer than
others, and they dont end together. Can anyone please help?

coordinates separate by comma

and osnap set to none (osmode 0)

[GvHerk]

Here is my script file. I would think it is pretty simple.

Well, that did it, thank you very much. What about osnap made it mess up like that, I dont understand. If it has all the points it seems like osnap shoulnd't matter. Can you explain?

[H.vanZeeland]

with no osnap to 0

use this one

(command "_.pline" "none" "-5,-25""none" "-4,-16" "none" "-3,-9" "none" "-2,-4" "none" "-1,-1" "none" "0,0" "none" "1,-1" "none" "2,-4" "none" "3,-9" "none" "4,-16" "none" "5,-25" "")

for each coordinate you give none witch snaps none

it's a overide of osnap
