Simple Command Line Error

nt937HX — Thu, 11 Apr 2024 04:07:24 GMT

Hi,

I am new to scripting in AutoCAD but I am in need of a way to automate some processes.

I am trying to run this simple script:

; Test script
_textscr
Hello, AutoCAD!

Instead of displaying Hello, AutoCAD! I receive the below error.

I am sure this is a simple question but I appreciate your help.

Nathan

Hi and Welcome to AutoCAD Forum,

TEXTSCR (Command) Opens a text window that displays a history of prompts and command line entries for the current session. So it's normal that you have such an error with Hello command because there is NO hello command in AutoCAD .

BUT if your need is how scripting in AutoCAD then i suggest to follow this link that may help you .

Script file basically contains a sequence of AutoCAD commands.

Hello,

The above line is not a command as you can see from the response on the Text window

Now if you incorporate lisp functions then the following line will work when placed in the script file:

(alert "Hello, AutoCAD")

Hi,

and why the error appears for "Hello," and not for "Hello, Autocad!":

Because a commandname never include a blank, the blank will interpret as [Enter]

(prompt "Hello, AutoCAD!")
