LISP QUESTION

Anonymous — Tue, 19 Oct 1999 21:11:29 GMT

Greetings All !
I am having an odd problem that I cannot seem to figure out. I am
hoping someone will be able to help me out with this...Notice that I do
not have an "mspace" command anywhere in my code. Any pointers would be
thanked...
Thanks,
Eric

Here is the error message that I am getting:

Command: ls2 error: incorrect request for command list data
(COMMAND ".mspace")

I forgot to mention that that I am loading this routine thru my
'acadr14.lsp' file. When I appload the file, it works just fine...I'm
stumped...

Eric,

I'm thinking that AutoCAD is not ready to evaluate any "command" statements
when 'acadr14' is being loaded, or even when 'acad.lsp' is loaded unless it
is in the S::Startup section.

Actually, 'acadr14' is for Autodesk use and you should put nothing in it.
Any external AutoLISP programs should have a stub loader, or an autoloading
statement, in your 'acad.lsp'. That way the program isn't actually loaded
and evaluated until you are ready to use it. There are also other means of
loading external programs as well.

If you would like more information on loading methods, please indicate such
and someone will respond.

David,
I cut my load statements out of my acadr14.lsp file and pasted them into my
acad.lsp file and restarted my AutoCAD, tried running my routine again, which I
have a button for, and the same error message came up again. I guess I would
like to look at some different options for loading AutoLISP routine...This has
really got me confused...it was working last Friday, and now...nothing...???

Eric,

In part, perhaps I misunderstood how you were loading the program as I
thought you were pasting the whole program in 'acadr14' and not just a
loader. However, by advice still stands as far as placing anything in
'acadr14'.

I would have to see the load statement in your 'acad.lsp' to evaluate it.
If it's a case of (load "LS2") in the main body, it should be in the
S::Startup section. However, I would still suggest loading on an as need
basis.

Also, as I am not versed in the DCL language, I cannot help you much there,
but there are others that surely can. While you do not use the command
'mspace' in your program, nor do you use 'lambda', and since the error
message points out six subroutines in succession, you might look at
something you are doing in a multiple of six. Just an idea. Also, I am
not familiar with 'command list data' either, but that is the key.

I have other thoughts, but they depend on whether you are pasting the whole
program in 'acad.lsp' or just a loader. However, at this point take a look
at the stub and autoloading information that I will paste below. If you
are familiar with it all, we'll both have a good laugh on me. When
you get this working, I would like to make some other suggestions
concerning the use of multiple instances of 'command' and 'setq', but one
thing at a time.

Here is the info written in general terms for R14 and A2K. Let us know if
it helps.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------

The most efficient way is with (autoload file cmdlist), which can be placed
in any one of several files. Since I use a partial menu to override a
portion the ACAD.mnu, which I never alter, I use an accompanying .mnl file
for the overwrite instructions, and to hold my autoloader extension.
However, it will work great if just placed in Acad.lsp for R14, or
AcadDOC.lsp for AutoCAD 2000.

In AutoCAD 2000, Acad.lsp is just loaded when entering AutoCAD (unless
'lispasdoc' is set to 1), and AcadDOC.lsp is loaded with each drawing.

If you don't have an Acad.lsp or an AcadDOC.lsp, create a simple text file
with the extension .lsp and place it anywhere in the AutoCAD support path.
Your entry will look like this:

(autoload "filename" '("commandname"))

filename being without the .lsp extension, and commandname being the defun
name, as C:ENTLIST, as in the example:

(autoload "entlist" '("entlist"))
(autoload "nentlist" '("nentlist"))
(autoload "multilist" '("multilist"))

When you have multiple programs in one file, you would use:

(autoload "entlist" '("entlist" "nentlist" "multilist"))
(autoload "pie" '("apple" "peach" "pear" "pumpkin" "potato"))

Which in this case has three & five commands (programs) within each file.

This way the program files are not loaded until you need them, and the
loading is completely automatic. If you are using a menu, or at the
command prompt, the entry is simply the command, such as: entlist

If you wonder how it works, the autoloader engine has already been fired up
by AutoCAD, and you are just extending its capabilities.

Another way is to place a stub loader in your Acad.lsp or AcadDOC.lsp as:

(defun C:ENTLIST ()
(load "C:/alisp/entlist") (c:entlist)
)

The first time you invoke the command, the stub loader loads it and runs
the program. Afterward, the program just runs because the stub had been
superseded by the program.

I hope the heck all this makes sense.

Re: LISP QUESTION

Anonymous — Wed, 20 Oct 1999 06:20:17 GMT

The error you quote occurs when you call any function not valid while a dialog
is active, e.g. (command ..), (entmake ...) etc. Yet it appears the only
function that is called while the dialog is active is (main) which does not make
any calls to (command ..) or other functions not allowed during dialog activity
(see the customization guide).

_________

However, just persuing your code I found the following:

In (main) you have used the symbol name 'eg' as a variable, redefining a
standard function. Any subsequent call to the eq function will result in the
calling function bombing, be it your code, someone else's code, or an AutoLISP
behind the scenes call. I find you reference all other variables defined as
globals in (main) from (layers), but not 'eq'. Is this a typo?

_________

General stuff I noticed ---

In (layers) you are using the progn function superfluously as the parent nest of
a cond statement.

You have:

(progn
(cond
( (= FP "1")
...
)
...
)
)

All that's needed is:

(cond
( (= FP "1")
...
)
...
)

_________

In (layers) you assume layer "t_title" exists, and if it's off, turn on a bunch
of layers ---

Your code:

(setq CHECK (tblsearch "LAYER" "T_TITLE"))
(setq ONOFF (assoc 62 CHECK))
(setq ONOFF (cdr ONOFF))
(if (< ONOFF 0)
(command "LAYER" "ON" "T_cutline,T_misc,T_text,T_title" "")
)

A suggestion ---

(command "._layer")
(foreach x '("t_cutline" "t_misc" "t_text" "t_title")
(if (setq check (tblsearch "layer" x))
(if (minusp (cdr (assoc 62 check)))
(command "_on" x)
)
(command "_new" x)
)
)
(command "")

This way the layer is turned on if it exists and is off, otherwise it is
created (if it doesn't exist). I'm guessing by your code you need
these layers. If not, the (command ".new" x) is not required.
Since there is only one call to command it will also be faster than
individual calls like (command "._layer" "_on" x ""), a technique
much of your subsequent code could benefit from.

< I actually use entmake/entmod, but I think I'll not suggest that here >.
If you want details I'll provide them in another post.

_________

You have many calls to (command ...). Some of these calls require object
selection ---

Your code:

(command "mview" "on" DET_MVIEW_SS "")

If det_mview_ss is not set to a valid selection set, the command may not
terminate correctly. Anytime (command ...) does not teminate correctly, there
is the chance the next call to (command ...), or a call to terminate a command
=> (command "") <= in fact recalls the last thing that was called via command
prior to execution of this program (c:ls2), be it by the user or another lisp
program. Said previous command could be 'mspace'.

The method you are using to make a selection set of viewports, is not fullproof,
nor do you test the variable before using it:

Your code:

(setq DET_MVIEW_SS (ssget "X" (list (cons 8 "DET_MVIEW"))))

All this does is grab all the objects on the noted layer. How can you be sure
only viewports are grabbed, and that any viewports were actually found?

A suggestion is to be more explicit in your selection set creation, and test it
before you use it:

(setq
det_mview_ss
(ssget "x"
'( (8 . "det_mview")
; only grab viewports
(0 . "viewport")
; don't grab paperspace viewport
; which is always vport 1
(-4 . "")
)
)
)

Later in your code test the variable before using:

(if det_mview_ss (command "._mview" "_on" det_mview_ss ""))

I generally create selection sets right where I'm going to use them, as part of
the test:

(if
(setq
det_mview_ss
(ssget "x"
'((8 . "det_mview")(0 . "viewport")(-4 . ""))
)
)
(command "._mview" "_on" det_mview_ss "")
)

_________

More stuff ---

Question --- Why do you jump back and forth between (command "layer" ...) and
(command "-layer" ...) ?

Question --- Why turn off, and then back on, some of the same layer wildcard
specs? Aren't you finding your screen flashing a lot as a result of this code?
Perhaps some logical regrouping, and then a reduction in calls to the layer
command can reduce the flashing and speed up the routine. See the following.

Suggestion --- The use of foreach could significantly reduce the amount of code
you have for all the turning on and off of layers, and make management of your
code easier, and if set up correctly, will be much faster, particularly if you
limit yourself to one call to (command "._layer ...). An example was provided
near the beginning of this message.

(Entmod ...) may also be an alternative in the future.

_________

All in all, this does not solve your problem, but it does offer other details
you may be interested in at some point.

Well that just about exhausts my welcome, and oh look, time to crash.

Cheers.

^^^^^^ Here the problem is

#33e116c> "") > (<> 1) (<> 16) (<> 7))

leads me to an action_tile ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

therefor take a look at this ^^^^^^ and ..

^^^^^^^ ..this !! While a dialog is active, you cannot execute an PRINC !!

Eric -- if your file is sometimes working, and
sometimes doesn't, if it works OK right after
you appload it, ---- it's obvious that you have
some other file defining another MAIN function,
which *does* have an mspace command in it. 🙂

You can try and put all your dependent functions
inside the main one, like

(defun c:LS2 (/ main layer)

(defun layer() ..... )
(defun main () ..... )

(setq dcl_id (load_dialog "ls2.dcl"))
(if (new_dialog "ls2" dcl_id)
(progn
(action_tile "accept" "(MAIN) (done_dialog)")
(action_tile "cancel" "(done_dialog)")
(start_dialog)
(unload_dialog dcl_id)
(LAYER)
)
)
(princ)
)

so that these functions are always defined properly
when your command is called.

See if this helps. 🙂

Ok on all of my drawings for this company we use drawing footers to
determine where the drawing is located, My question is, Is it possible to
write a lisp so that when you open a drawing or save a drawing in a new
place that it updates the footer text, If it could be done could someone
help get me pointed in the right direction. Thanks!

Do you have Express Tools? Sounds like a job for RText.
