Hello Forum !
I'm getting this error with superflatten.lsp
Could anyone care to advise / help ?

The latest version 1.2b is attached. It contains a change related to the problem you
mentioned. Please let me know it this fixes it and what version of ACAD you are
using.

Thanks for posting the version you have so I could compare.

Hi Joe,
Thanx for ur concern. I'm getting this error with the new version Superflatten 1.2a.lsp.I found something Superflatten 1.2a.lsp working well with ABS (Architectural Building System ) but getting belowe error with Autocad 2008. Any idea / comment?


Command: sf
Error: Element not found; error: An error has occurred inside the *error*
functionAutoCAD variable setting rejected: "explmode" nil

Victor,

Sorry, the zip file attached to my previous message contained version 1.2a rather
than 1.2b. Please delete version 1.2a and try 1.2b attached.

Let me know if you are still seeing errors in the error handler. I can't imagine why
an error with the explmode var since that goes back to R13. And the error with
hpassoc doesn't make sense either since you are using 2008.

Please let me know if the program is running. IOW, is it flattening the drawing and
the error occurs at the end? Or is it happening at some other point?

I have installed both Acad 2008 & ABS 2007 ... It works well in ABS 2007 but s till the same error in Acad 2008? Is it related to ABS ( architectural Building System )?

Victor,

If you are still getting similar errors with version 1.2b I would appreciate an
example file. If you don't want to post it here, open the LISP file. At the top
you'll see an email address where you can send to me directly.

Thanks

Victor,

The routine has been tested with vanilla 2008.

I have an idea about what might be happening. Please test for me as follows in this
order. Start AutoCAD 2008. Open the file you're working with. Then load SuperFlatten
1.2b and run it. Do not load any other LISP routines after you load SF.

If that fixes the problem (error in error handler) then I think what's happening is
some other LISP routine failed to declare its error handler local to the routine.
Like this:

(defun c:SuperFlatten ( / *error* ...

If such a program is loaded after SF is loaded, I *think* it would cause the problems
you mentioned. If that's what's happening, and thinking about it more I'm fairly sure
that's it, then you will have to determine which routine failed to declare its error
handler local. That situation could cause problems with other LISP routines.

Just checking regarding this:

>> Command: sf
>> Error: Element not found; error: An error has occurred inside the *error*
>> functionAutoCAD variable setting rejected: "explmode" nil

You are saying the error occurs when you run the routine, right? It doesn't even get
to the select objects prompt?

This error occurs when I run the routine. It’ doesn’t even allow me select object.

It’s working normal when Superflatten.lsp runs alone. Absolutely you are right Joe. Probably it was clashing with another Lsp. Thanx once again Joe.

Victor,

You're welcome and I'm glad to hear it's working now.

(sorry to bump an ancient thread with a completely beginner question)

Someone alerted me to superflatten, and I'm interested in using it to flatten a surveyor's topo file so that i can work with it in 2d. It seems like it's just the right thing.

However, I've never used an .lsp file -- how do i go about that?

Where should it reside in my file structure?

How do I call the program to start working?

I'm on acad lt 2013 for mac.

Thanks up front!

I'm sorry to have to inform you that if you're using ACAD LT, you won't be able to use that routine, or any AutoLISP code -- Lisp interpretation is not a part of LT, but it requires a "full" version of AutoCAD.  [If you get one, write back, and people can tell you how to go about using the routine, or there may be things like Knowledge Base articles about such things.]

[adamchr]

Kent, thx -- that probably explains why i wasn't having success with such basics 🙂
