Workflow in Lisp

cjneper — Fri, 13 Jul 2012 19:07:38 GMT

I am trying to run a workflow within a lisp program.

I am using a command function such as:

(command "mapworkflowbatchrun" "myfile")

And then I have some other commands after that. The problem is the lisp program skips ahead to the other autocad commands before the workflow is finished running. How do I get the program to complete the above command to run the workflow, before moving on to the next lines in the program?

I would break the lip into two defuns. with the second being called inside the workflow afer everything else is done.

EX:

(Defun part1 ()

(command "mapworkflowbatchrun" "myfile")

)

(Defun part2 ( )

Do the rest of lisp

)

Then in the workflow add the function/command "part2"

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried breaking up the program into subprograms like you said, but lisp still wants to jump ahead to the subroutines before completing the workflow.

Lisp does not like workflows apparently.
