Importing old lisp routines to 2024

i have several old lisp routines, including menu files, that worked in 2014 but will not import into ACAD 2024. Is there a fix for this?

@cmlaw seriously my friend? That's so vague a description LOL

Can you please try again, start with:
1) how did you try to import anything from 2014 to 2024?
2) are both 2014 and 2024 running just fine on the same exact computer?
3) do your LISP routines\
a) require a 3rd party add-on to work?
b) Or are they using commands that have been dropped or changed?
c) Or are you just not able to run them at all because you are unsure how LISP files work in AutoCAD?

Let us know.

I am going to reply to this to say that I too cannot use my lisp routines inside of ADT 2024. I do know how they work. I read through the code and I do not see a place where it is looking "for an old machine". The answers from every direction are what is very vague. It is frustrating in that all of the routines I have use during the past 25 years, Autodesk only picked up changing spaces and text to multiline text. I am positive I am not the only person who used viewport outline or scale multiple around object or rotate in place. Every software developer seems to think they always make things better by changing programs. None of them read customer comments.

What lisp routine that doesn't work?

Does Autodesk still put out Architectural Desktop in 2024?

Did you install Express Tools?

"The answers from every direction are what is very vague"

 

Sure, if we don't know the source code.

 

There is one way we don't need the source code (to point exactly to the problem):

Learn the same as the people who can help, to help yourself.

 

Also: You have the VLIDE to debug your code, this way it is easy to find the problem.

 

 

 

Often the problem is, people using (command statements to controle native commands, instead to program her own function by API.

Commands changes, from tim to time and the (command statement is wrong then.

 

2014 is very old, command-s instead command is a problem in many codes and it is a thing what Adesk started years before (10years now).

 

If you need help, share your code and the information of your ABOUT dialog.

According to Lee Mac, the routines I have been using were updated between 2015 and 2017. The change space gives me the work around to get the viewport outline in model space so I am content. The others I use only occasionally so I am not worried about it. Maybe I will send a message to Lee Mac about updating for 2024.

You still doesn't want to say which lisp not working.

viewport outline - vpo, scale about centers - SAC. Rotate multiple - rotmult still works.

Thanks for the reply. The main problem is a menu won't load, which carries several lisp routines. I have worked around this by simply typing the shortcuts on the command line, so it is not debilitating, only inconvenient. It is puzzling though because another smaller menu loaded just fine.

Always a good move.

I just started using 2024 yesterday so I am working through the kinks. I am finding some shortcuts gone like now you have to type the entire word select instead of sel. I understand inconveniant. The VPO command was a one step command. Now it is at least two. Not much, but like I said, I just started using it yesterday. I am a button user so getting all of those back on the screen was a pain. I think Autodesk is moving away from buttons so it is much more difficult finding them. I see the ribbon includes more of the commands though.

You can look through your old acad.pgp and make your new 2024 acad.pgp the same

You are right the ribbon is more helpful. Like I said, I have cobbled enough commands together to make things work, but certainly not as convenient as
the old 2014 version.
