change vlx command

[nychoe1]

hi.

I wish everybody a Happy New Year!

I have two vlx file.

blocktotable.vlx       --> command : bt

blocktotextli.vlx       --> command : bt

two vlx files have same command.

but I want to

blocktotable.vlx       --> command : bt

blocktotextli.vlx       --> command : bxt     <--- like this

of course, I know that cannot modify vlx files

how to use command : bxt

Give me some feedback.

It is not possible to edit VLX, and the same commands, conflict, making the command last loaded VLX is called.
To change is necessary to have the original file .LSP

Edit the original source code.

If you cannot change the code or contact one of the authors... then you can load it each time you run it to make sure it's the last one. (but you need to change the both names.)

(defun c:bta nil
  (load "blocktotable.vlx")
  (c:bt)
  (princ)
)

(defun c:bxt nil
  (load "blocktotextli.vlx")
  (c:bt)
  (princ)
)

if not have the source code can use the following "alternative solution".
Save the VLX 2 on c :, and then change the path in the code below:

(defun c:bxt()
(load c:\\blocktotextli.vlx)
(c:bt)
(load c:\\blocktotable.vlx)

(princ)
)

... and thats exactly why you should always use verbose command names.  Let the user set up the PGP file, or a LISP wrapper function, or whatever if they want to use BT, or BTX, etc.

Old threat but:

1. For

" blocktotable.vlx       --> command : bt

blocktotextli.vlx       --> command : bxt     <--- like this...

how to use command : bxt"

You might make a routine of some name, like C:BXTT,

that would load only 'blocktotextli.vlx' and then

execute its 'C:BT' command.

Same for blocktotable.

2. And I repeat, beware of the contents of

things you cannot see, as in VLX and FAS.
