-OVERKILL command string

[frankie_rankin]

Hi,

I am currently attempting to write some LISP code to carry out the -OVERKILL, -PURGE, AUDIT and SPELL commands in this specific order in an attempt to make an easy way to clean up drawings in AutoCAD 2023.

Unfortunately, I am having some issues with the -OVERKILL command, specifically simulating the enter key after object selection. I have attempted to use " " and ";" to no effect.

If anyone has any tips on how to get this to work that would be great! I have copied my attempt at coding this below for anyone to check out.

Thank you!

(defun c:CLEANUP ( / )
(princ "\nStarting drawing cleanup...")

(command "-OVERKILL" "ALL" ";" "D")
(princ "\nNo objects to clean with OVERKILL.")

(command "-PURGE" "ALL" "*" "N")

(command "AUDIT" "Y")

(command "SPELL")

(princ "\nCleanup complete.")
(princ)
)

Bonjour @frankie_rankin 

Try with this syntax : 

(command "-overkill" "_all" "" "" )

Tell me if it works on your pc please

Hello @-didier- 

I have attempted to use that syntax and unfortunately it doesn't seem to work.

it appears to get up to "_all" before being unable to continue.

That works for me.  Could there be a language-version or undefinition problem?  Try "_.-overkill" .  Are there any messages?

works fine on my 2023.1.8

Works for me Bricscad.

"" is the equivalent of pressing Enter in a lot of code.

(command "line" pt1 pt2 "")

Bonjour @frankie_rankin 

I am surprised by what you are writing about the non-functioning of the line of code.

What reassures me are the answers of the other members who confirm my version.

Try again please.
