wBlock different input order

kevinponcioni — Mon, 14 Nov 2022 10:50:58 GMT

I have a script that among other things, saves a block as dxf. The problem is that despite all PCs having the same AutoCad version, it doesn't work on some of them because it asks "draw precision" before "base point", while in others it asks "base point" first.

So my script is interrupted at that step in half the pcs.

I couldn't find any settings to chage that. Is there one? Is it some other difference?

Hi and Welcome to AutoCAD Forum,

"draw precision" ... Would you confirm this term?

Sorry I have Autocad in another language. What I meant with "draw precision" is "number of decimal places between 0 and 16"

Why not share this script that creates this error for some users here for review and feedback?

To work out which variable may be different this is what I do, LOGFILEON this turns on make a logfile of what appears next, SETVAR ? * press enter etc till end, LOGFILEOFF.

The log file is saved as a default you need to find the path, mine is redefined, do CONFIG FILES Logfile you will see path.

Ok now I use Notepad++it has a compare function so can compare the 2 logfiles from the 2 different pc's. It highlites differences. Can hopefully find the variables needing to be pre set. If no Notepad ++ just open with notepad and scroll.
