Cannot invoke (command) from *error* without prior call to (*push-error-using-command*). Converting (command) calls to (command-s) is recommended. AutoCAD2021

Attached is a Smash command that worked in AutoCAD 2018 but when now that I am using AutoCAD 2021 it does not work. I'm new to AutoCAD lsip programs and I'm not sure what needs updated.

Thank you for your help. I'm still getting an error though, probably something I did?

@jrauRM2PM The code loads fine for me.

C:SMASH 
VDPW_SMASH_MAIN 
VDPW_SMASH_ERRORHANDLER 
nil

You can simply do what it recommends.  Any (command) function(s) inside the *error* handler should be converted by having the -s added to the end of the function name.

(vdpw_spin) is a missing function (probably lay in other lisp file), go back to who gave this for complete set 😀

Sorry, I have no idea what I need. I have an AutoCAD Customization Guidebook I just started reading. Other than that I have 0 experience with coding.

how \ from where did you get this lisp?

[jrauRM2PM]

I'm not sure where it came from. It was on our computers when I started here.

Then if it ever worked, the vdpw_spin function definition must also have been on them, somewhere.  Might the problem just be with its folder location?  If you can Search for content in text files, look for something containing that, we would hope in a file with a .lsp filetype ending.  But if it's in a compiled variety of file like .fas or .vlx, you won't be able to find it that way.  Could there be something about the file name that relates to its purpose?

[Kent1Cooper]

A further question:  Since that missing function appears to be triggered only for "Polyline" [not "LWPolyline"] objects [which can be "heavy" 2D Polylines, 3D Polylines, or meshes], if you use it in a situation without any of those, does it work correctly?

[jrauRM2PM]

Yes, it does appear to work.
