I assume you downloaded this from the website:

http://www.steel-link.com/downloads/download-detail.cfm?recordID=145

The files need to be placed into a folder called:

C:\STL

Then you need to add this into AutoCAD's Support Search path:

Options

Files tab

Support File Search Path

Add C:\STL

Then enter:

(load"STL")

Now it should work when you enter command: STL

note

i was using visual lisp

and i found this notepad created on my desktop 

this was written in it

====== DCL semantic audit of c:/stl/stl ======

Hint in "stl_ersa". (widget type = list_box, key = "TABLE_ERSA")
height = 13 is probably redundant.

i donot know what is this related to

What version of AutoCAD are you running?

I have no problems running on vanilla AutoCAD 2015, 2017 & 2018.

After I enter (load"STL") I get the attached publisher warning dialog so I would click Always Load.

Then when I enter STL I get the attached STL AutoCAD Draughting Utility window.

You can always remove the height line but that should not be causing the error you are getting.

iam using autocad 2018

right now i managed to load lisp 

and when i write the command stl

this is what i get from command bar

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

Doing a search on-line matching your error message I found these links that mentions of other vertical add-on apps with error trap functions that may be the culprit. But other than that I have no solutions for you. Perhaps others may have encountered something similar that can give you a better solution.

Perhaps you could check to make sure you are running AutoCAD and not one of the AutoCAD verticals?

That one is easy.

The *error* trapping function calls the function (STL_VAR_RESET)

STL_VAR_RESET contains the line:

(command "_.layer" "set" old "")

... but (with newer acad) you can NOT use the regular (command ...) inside the error function.

Change that to: (command-s "_.layer" "set" old "") to make it work properly.

Note: this will only get rid of the message above, it will not solve you semantic problem. In fact, this means there is a problem which invokes the *error* function, but then it detects an error inside the *error* function and reports that instead.

Just wanted to chime in 5 years later - The same problem happened to me... After 6 hours of googleing - I solved this problem by changing screen resolution back to 1920x1080 🙂
