Script stops running after lisp

djurk_haas — Tue, 10 Dec 2019 13:52:23 GMT

Hello,

I have a script (see below) that stops running after the "_Situatie" (Insert_Situatie.lsp).

The lisp "_Situatie" works fine, it's even executed by the script, but is causes to stop running the last part of the script.

I have run the script without the "_Situatie" (Insert_Situatie.lsp) and than it runs fine untill the end so the problm is caused by the lisp "Insert_Situatie" but I can't figer out why.

Thanks in advance

----Script code-----

_open
"H:\BV3-TRANSMIT\Onderhoek\A\RV CZE A E0000\RV CZE A E0000.dwg"
_Situatie
_Stempel

-----lisp code-----

(defun C:Situatie ()

(command "_insert" "Situatie=E:\\data_tek\\AutoCAD-Custom_JHD\\Algemeen\\Situatie\\Situatie.dwg" nil)

(princ)
)

Do not CANCEL the insert command - Your NIL canceled the command and breaks the script.

Insert the block-reference and delete them.

[Without setting up the situation and experimenting....]

The (command) function always returns nil. If a nil return "breaks the script," wouldn't any (command) function do so, whether or not it ends with nil internally?

Maybe you can instead use (vl-cmdf), which always returns T.

the returning is not the problem

(vl-cmdf) or (command) at the right place will evaluate(? wrong wording) to [ESC]

(defun C:Situatie ()
(command "_insert" "Situatie=E:\\data_tek\\AutoCAD-Custom_JHD\\Algemeen\\Situatie\\Situatie.dwg")
(command) ; or (vl-cmdf)
(princ)
)

works,

but in 2020 is a bug and iam not sure that it is a problem in this case (an invisible problem which users not seeing in time)

A -insert requires name pt X Y rot so where are they ? This will stop a script. You can erase "last" block definition is still in dwg.

@Sea-Haven

as i wrote too, but:

What you and me wrotes is just the normal way to ends the command sequence fully.

But if ONLY like to redefining a block in AutoCAD (by hand) you

starts the (classic) INSERT command, choose your DWG,

acknowledge the re-define question and....

Exactly: You don't set the insertion point, scale and rotation and deletes the new blockreference,

you skip the command by pressing [ESC] and you can do this in Lisp too, by using the (command) or (vl-cmdf) statement.

I checked this: It was just a Problem when you want to create a blockreference, but here in this thread we don't want to create a block reference, so it is´also in 2020 not a problem to go this way.
