Script Pro 2.0

sssf_23 — Wed, 24 Aug 2022 04:52:45 GMT

I am currently using Script 2.0 to batch a delete stamp script. I am not very familiar with this program. When I run my batch everything seems fine & the status is "Done" but when I open the original drawing my stamps are still there. Not sure, but I think it is not saving properly. I have qsave at the end of my script. When I run using the wizard button. I can see that the stamps are coming off but they are not saving. I also am using Auto CAD 2020. Can someone please assist. Thanks

Hi,

is your script working in a single file without scriptpro incl. Qsave?

Share your Script.

Screenshot of scriptpro window

and Scriptpro settings?

Where is the report from Scriptpro?

We need more informations to help you.

Test your script file in that DWG file (without the add-on) to see if it even works first using SCRIPT command: let us know.

Ok, so yesterday everything appeared to be working properly but today is different. I did as you suggested & tested the script on a single file. When I drag & drop the script into the drawing a message comes up: 3 of the monitored system variables have changed from the preferred value. Use SYSVARMONITOR command to view changes. When I copy & paste "SYSVARMONITOR" this is what I receive:

I have unchecked Notify when these system variables change, reset all & ok. It's not reading the script at all on drag & drop. If I copy & paste to the command line, the command processes but I receive: 1 of the monitored system variables have changed from the preferred value. Use SYSVARMONITOR command to view changes.

I'm not even sure at this point if it is saving & reading the script all the way through & I'm assuming it is not.

My script is:

FILEDIA 0
CMDDIA 0
-laydel
n
stamp

y
z e
-purge
a
*
n
-purge
a
*
n
FILEDIA 1
CMDDIA 1
qsave

I'm bascially just trying to delete a stamp(s) on a stamp layer, purge it, zoom extents, then save.

According to the report it looks like it is stopping at the zoom command. I think it has something to do with the spacing or how the script is written. I have tried so many combinations but I can not get it to work.

One thing you can always avoid when coding script files is the abrupt change in style (most of your script is one spelled-out commandname per line, then somewhere along the way you opted for abbreviations and multiple commands on a single line).

And are you positive 100% that after that Y and before "Z E" there does not need to be another space?

Try again. Keep testing.

I deleted my Post (you posted Script came up wrong in the browser, so my answer didn't fit your situation)

You are using an ALIAS instead of the command name!

Zher is no command "Z", but "ZOOM"

try it with ZOOM instead of a simple Z

ZOOM e

Was it the problem (zoom vs z) ?

Actually yes. I changed it to zoom. When I drag & drop now it works but when I use script pro it says "Error while reading log file C:\... where ever the file is located. & it fails. Still working on it. I did change my script a bit.

Start a reboot and take a coffee, try it again.

I am off of ideas for this issue.
