Hey,

I've got the attached lisp routine which I normally use to quickly align text to a line within a drawing.
It's usually works fine with ACAD 2020, no troubles, though lately it has just given out and I am getting an error and I've got no idea why.

The lisp is a beyond my understanding of how it all runs. Is there anyone who could have a quick help and see if they can figure out quickly what's going on?

Hi @S.T.123

Looks like you have modified somethings in the lisp which was originally created by Lee mac. Here is the link to that original lisp.

@vinodkl
Oh ok. I didn't realise where the original source of the lisp was or that the version I have had been edited. It's just one of them lisps I've picked up over the years and it was handy so I've continued to use it without any thought.

I've downloaded the original uneditted lisp but unfortunately am still getting the same "Error: bad argument type: numberp: nil" after starting the lisp, selecting the text then selecting a line.

Hi @S.T.123

The earlier attached lisp is working well on my end on AutoCAD 2018 & 2020. Can you attach a snapshot of command history? I assume you typed in the command "TAC" to invoke the new lisp instead of "ATC"🙂

Then the message would be different, ~~and the command is not ATC, it is AT~~

We should stop this thread and follow the crosspost here [CLICK - Text Aling Lisp Help]
