Auto LISP for MAC - Breakall.lsp

matteoYEMXT — Fri, 12 Apr 2024 07:23:04 GMT

Dear community,

I hope find you well. I'm reaching out to you through this medium because I need assistance with AutoLISP files for AutoCAD and the MacOS Sonoma operating system. Let me explain in detail:

- I've found the breakall.lsp file online, which allows cutting lines at each intersection point. I can upload it but this message is shown:

"; error: vl-load-com not supported on "Mac OS X Version 10.16 (x86_64)"

This file is supported for AutoCAD on Windows, but I don't know how to modify the script so that it can work on Mac.

Currently, I work with AutoCAD 2019, but I would like the files to work on other versions as well.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Matteo

Hi Matteo,

@matteoYEMXT

I looked at the LSP file you attached - it contains a lot of functions which are not supported in AutoCAD for Mac.

These are ActiveX functions whose names begin with VLA-, VLAX-.

Thus this AutoLIPS must be completely rewritten (if possible) in order to be used in AutoCAD for Mac.

@matteoYEMXT ,

Forgot to mention.

AutoCAD for Mac 2019 is not supported on macOS Sonoma, so I recommend you to upgrade to the latest (2025) version as soon as possible.

There is a dedicated LISP forum that may be able to help with a re-write, here is the link

Is there a specific single function in that LISP that you use more often that not and cannot live without? It might help if you narrow it down to just that one for now too. just remember, they are all end users just like you, they may only wish to teach you to rewrite the code or choose not to do much either, its their time and choice to do as they wish.

I checked earlier, but I will take a look again!

In this sense I need to use a command in order to Break lines in each intersection. I'm working with traffic flows into spaces, so it will be helpful if I can select all the lines and break them in all the intersection. Otherwise, it'll take me a lot of time and effort.

Thanks again

Dear community,

- I've found the legend.lsp file online, which allows cutting lines at each intersection point. I can upload it but this message is shown:

"; error: vl-load-com not supported on "Mac OS X Version 10.16 (x86_64)"

can you help me fast plz ?

Hi @2019120137FFU ,

1/ Are you sure that you attached the correct LSP file?

I've looked at it and have found that it doesn't allow cutting lines at each intersection point, but rathe creates a legend of specified lines used in a drawing.

2/ In any case the LSP file you attached uses a lot of functions which are not supported in AutoCAD for Mac.

These are ActiveX functions whose names begin with VLA-, VLAX-.

Thus this AutoLIPS must be completely rewritten (if possible) in order to be used in AutoCAD for Mac.
