extrim not working in 2025

[sdvannelli]

I have been using extrim from the express commands for years, but it will not work in 2025. I keep getting this message:

Command: extrim
Pick a POLYLINE, LINE, CIRCLE, or ARC for cutting edge..; error: no function definition: SINGLE_SELECT

Is anyone else seeing this? And if so, have you come up with a work around?

Never mind. Cleaned up my acaddoc.lsp file and it works now. Something must have been interfering with it.

Hi,

He cleaned up his house, I suspect that a routine that is over 25 years old had loaded automatically, unnecessarily.

Please, run this test:

test EXTRIM in a NEW file again:

Is it working, or still the same error message?

Error? Start appload (still in this new file) and Load this file:

C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2025\express\extrim.lsp

Test extrim again (in this, still open new file).

Is it working, or still the same error message?

2025 does not preload ET anymore. You might want to add 

(acet-load-expresstools)

to the acaddoc.lsp.

In my (german) version, ET's functions are preloaded! 

But the cuix file is not copied to the right folder (so no Expressmenu&Ribbon, until I copy&load it myself)

Side note:

In contrast to the English version, the express tools in the German version were not installed per default - until 2024,
Since 2024 these have been installed as default, but in 2025 there will be, at least in my attempts,

the error with the menu file.
Existing in the usercachefolder, but not copied to the user profile
"C:\\Users\\CAD1\\AppData\\Roaming\\Autodesk\\AutoCAD 20nn\\Rnn.n\\<lan>\\support\\acetmain.cuix" and not added to the workspace.
