run (command...) from invoked lisp?

JamesMaeding — Thu, 23 Apr 2015 00:27:42 GMT

I still have some code in my lisp functions that use (command.....).

I want to call some of those functions from my palette, and am getting the "command rejected..." message.

I read you need to set commandflags.modal or session to do this, but that only seems applicable when you are defining a command via .net.

I am not defining a command, the dialog is invoking the lisp.

Most examples are oriented around calling the commands straight from .net, so I have not found a similar situation to compare to.

Part of my need to do certain activities in lisp is my xdata attachment mechanism is complex and written in lisp (but does not use command calls itself)

I may have to split up activities if (command....) cannot be called from an invoked lisp, and draw using .net and then transfer to lisp to finish off...

thx

Hi James,

Can you please try the code snippet from this blog post ?

The context becomes important if you have (command-s ...) calls in your Lisp code that is being invoked from .Net code.

finally got back to this.

I am supporting back to acad 2013, so must use sendstringtoexecute.

Only problem is I am sending a huge set of parameters to the routine to do the drawing.

Sometimes its thousands of points, all serialized to string so way too much.

I will have to make the ents with entmake instead.I am using
