Lasso lisp isn't working in 2016

[johnwbrown573]

These lisps worked in 2013.  We skipped 2014/2015 installs and just upgraded to 2016.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

LASSO.LSP worked fine in AutoCAD 2016 for me.

For copy2layouts, I just removed an extra return or "" in the explode code.

Change:

(command "explode" "l" "")

To:

(command "explode" "l")

Thank you for the reply and the change.  I'll incorporate it into the lisp.  I was able to get Lasso.lsp working.  

As an aside, is there a way to add a second pline before terminating with text and also to have an option for the direction of text?  I am not versed with lisps at all!!  

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Try the attached modified LASSO which should give you the option to add more Leaders and enter a Text rotation.

The text rotation works. Thanks.

It overides/turns off polar tracking and does not allow for an additional line.

I'm sorry for being a PIA.  😕  I am sincerely appreciative of what you've done.  Thank you!

Strange...I don't think the original or the revised code does anything to polar tracking.

Also I have no trouble getting it to do multiple leaders.

See attached image screen capture done on AutoCAD 2016.

I figured out the issue: I have to hit enter twice after the add text option.  

Please see the attachment. I noticed that your comm lines and mine are not the same. The text is not rotating. Why does the added leader insist on starting at the same quadrant of the elipse? Can that be made to be arbitrary?

Thanks.

I'm not sure why our command lines look different.

You had posted prior to my last post that your Text Rotation was working but polar tracking was not.

Did you change something to prevent the text rotation from working?

I've added the option to have an arbitrary Leader Start Point for additional leaders.

I have no idea either.  
Text rotation isn't working but polar tracking is.  I made sure that polar tracking was set to 15deg increments.  I noticed that Object Snap Tracking Settings changes to Track orthogonally only, Object snap mode gets turned off and cleared so if I want to add an arbitrary leader, I need to turn on OS then select a snap type. 
No, I didn't change anything in your prior lisp or the latest one.  

Screen cap attached.

The arbritrary leader works (regardless of snap mode).  Thank you.

You may want to go back to your original LASSO.lsp file which you said you got to work in AutoCAD 2016 to compare with the revised version.

I'm just not getting the same command line sequence when I run the same revised LASSO.lsp file on my AutoCAD 2016.

I'm also not sure why you are getting a response that shows "Unknown command "LASSO"  Press F1 for help.

Maybe you want to run the command in a new drawing and not an existing one.

The attached revised LASSO.lsp version comments out all the lines that relate to changing the current osnap & polar settings.
