Insert dynamic block with preset xyz & rotate not working

[Anonymous]

For years I have been using the following code to insert blocks with preset x,y,z scales and rotate, then setting attributes to default values. Here is the old code that worked fine - (setq BlockName "Test" BlockScale 1 BlockRotate 0) (vl-cmdf "_INSERT" BlockName "XSCALE" BlockScale "YSCALE" BlockScale "ZSCALE" BlockScale "ROTATE" BlockName) (command PAUSE) (while (/= (getvar "CMDACTIVE") 0) (command "")) Now that I am using dynamic blocks I get the following error - (vl-cmdf "_INSERT" BlockName "XSCALE" BlockScale "YSCALE" BlockScale "ZSCALE" BlockScale "ROTATE" BlockName) Point or option keyword required. Requires numeric distance or second point. Requires valid numeric angle or second point.

Change the
"ROTATE" BlockName
to
"ROTATE" BlockRotate

Sorry...that was a typo...it should have been BlockRotate. It still doesn't work.

Another quick question.
Do you know why does my coded come in without the line-returns in this forum?

The code works as expected on this side.

'why does my coded come in without the line-returns '

probably, you are using HTML, try selecting Rich Text.
