load application error

Anonymous — Fri, 12 Jul 2019 08:51:02 GMT

Hello!

I'm having a problem when I'm trying to load an application to AutoCAD 2020. The app worked fine until yesterday, when I tried to acces any menu in the app, I got this error message: "error: no function definition: vlax-get-or-create-object". I tried unloading the app, and then load it again using Tools - Load Application. When accessing "app.lsp", ACAD said: app succesfully loaded, but when I closed the load app window it gives me this error message: "error: no function definition: vlax-get-acad-object"

Many thanks in advance!

@Anonymous hi,

key this in command line:

(vl-load-com)

now run the application

does this make the issue go?

Thanks for the quick answer, I managed to load the app without the (vl-load-com) command. but now I'm facing another issue. It's getting pretty frustrating, ; error: no function definition: dos_guidgen

P.S. Just now I realised that I get these errors only in some drawings. I don't get it, it's weird

Help, please!

Not sure why this posting is in the installation and licensing forum.. It should be in AutoCAD and I have requested the moderator to relocate it there.

Anyhow do you have LISP programs running that reference the DOSLIB add-on for AutoCAD? This missing function sounds like a DOSLIB function
