From: Jamie Clay [Adesk] Forum unknown · General April 1, 1988 11:53 AM
Sure, It is in a file called PKX34A.COM and there is a copy in DL5 and DL10. Jamie

#21363- #LISP EMPTY FILES Message #21403
From: Jamie Clay [Adesk] Forum unknown · AutoLISP March 31, 1988 1:47 PM
Michael, That is another indicator that the load failed, although it does not tell you why it failed. I would say from the sound of things, the system is only allowing one file to be opened, then no more. Wierd. Here is an interesting test, take the routine you wrote…

#21394 #BBS Message #21399
From: Jamie Clay [Adesk] Forum unknown · General March 31, 1988 12:40 PM
Well, I sometimes get to talk to the AEC class, so perhaps then. As for the starting a BBS you should investigate the IBM Communications Forum. (GO IBMCOM) I think they have a section set aside just for the purpose. Good luck with your BBS, also there is a list…

#21393 FILE TRANSFER Message #21398
From: Jamie Clay [Adesk] Forum unknown · AutoLISP March 31, 1988 12:40 PM
Welcome aboard! I am not familiar with Cross-Talk. I would suggest another protocol for transfer, though RXmodem (Relaxed Xmodem) should work. If you have Protocol B use that. One you have solved that problem, please consider downloading either ATO (AutoSIG) or TAPCIS from the IBMCOM forum. Both are excellent programs…

#21386 Drawing Fix Message #21397
From: Jamie Clay [Adesk] Forum unknown · 3rd Party Software March 31, 1988 12:01 PM
I have it here, I'm sorry it has taken me so long to mail it out. If only it was small enough to send electronically. It's called cylinder.dwg and off it goes. Looking forward to meeting you soon. The Flying Dutchman? Hummm Jamie

#21374- SSGET "X" Message #21391
From: Jamie Clay [Adesk] Forum unknown · AutoCAD March 31, 1988 8:56 AM
Because you are trying to SSGET an entity that is a point and a line. No such animal in my database. The SSGET is checking entity lists for both of those elements. You have to perform a separate SSGET for each different entity, color, layer, etc. You can then merge…

#21373- Registration Message #21390
From: Jamie Clay [Adesk] Forum unknown · Shipping/Receiving March 31, 1988 8:56 AM
Computers? Humm, never thought about that. Where can we get one? But seriously, Craig, we are investigating the concept of "on-line" registration of software. CompuServe says it can be done but it's up to legal and management to decide. Thanks for the suggestion. Jamie

#21348 Member directory Message #21360
From: Jamie Clay [Adesk] Autodesk · General March 30, 1988 1:16 PM
We just discovered that on Friday. Yes indeed it seems the User Directory got wiped out. Thanks for reminding me. It would seem it was a casualty of the forum change. I will see if we can get it restored, but I am afraid that may be a lost cause.…
#21339 Mouse Driver Message #21357
From: Jamie Clay [Adesk] Autodesk · AutoCAD March 30, 1988 12:41 PM
Well, if you have to have the MSmouse driver in for Norton's then you may as well use the one for the MSmouse in AutoCAD. Like I said, I prefer it with the C-7 I use. Jamie
#21316- DL 16 Message #21355
From: Jamie Clay [Adesk] Autodesk · General March 30, 1988 12:40 PM
I will see about getting you 16 Access. Jamie
#21314 lines Message #21354
From: Jamie Clay [Adesk] Autodesk · General March 30, 1988 12:40 PM
You would have to construct a Lisp routine to do this, and it would not be too hard to do. 1) build a main selection set of just lines 2) advance through the set pulling out the single line entities 3) using PEDIT, convert line to a pline and join…

#21307 #LISP EMPTY FILES Message #21352
From: Jamie Clay [Adesk] Autodesk · Talk to the Trade March 30, 1988 12:39 PM
Everything you did works just fine on my machine. (Compaq 386) I don't know what to say, if something that fundamental fails then there is something else going on and it isn't AutoLISP. What do you have in your autoexec.bat and config.sys files ? Are you working out of a…
#21306 ACAD ON LARGE DISK Message #21351
From: Jamie Clay [Adesk] Autodesk · AutoCAD March 30, 1988 12:39 PM
We have seen this on Networks and the newer 130 meg and up hard drives. The current work around is to partition the section that AutoCAD is working with to 100 meg or less. Jamie

#21300 KELVINIZER Message #21349
From: Jamie Clay [Adesk] Autodesk · Talk to the Trade March 30, 1988 12:39 PM
Bryan, I do leave the access open only for a limited time, I have reset it and you should be able to see it now. Jamie
#21273 Opinions Message #21298
From: Jamie Clay [Adesk] Autodesk · AutoShade March 29, 1988 1:40 PM
It all sounds really interesting. I think it could be something some would go for, but having a whole other computer system may inhibit a majority of your targeted market. It also competes with AutoShade & AutoFlix directly and I would think the total costs may inhibit most from going…
#21272 Herc Troubles Message #21297
From: Jamie Clay [Adesk] Autodesk · AutoCAD March 29, 1988 1:40 PM
No problem, I checked the serial number and it is still registered to your friend. Please makes steps to resolve that. I didn't really think you were a pirate, they seldom make statements like "software my friend gave me". But it did seem odd so I had to "put my…
#21265 HP Laserjet Message #21296
From: Jamie Clay [Adesk] Autodesk · General March 29, 1988 1:40 PM
What version of AutoCAD do you have? The Series II works using the Laser Jet driver. Jamie
#21258 AEC AND RELEASE 10 Message #21295
From: Jamie Clay [Adesk] Autodesk · AutoCAD March 29, 1988 1:40 PM
AEC Menus…Yes indeed you can EDIT AEC-A.MNU to add the pull downs. Of course this is dependant on your graphic cards ability to use them. One of the easier ways to star this is to cut the top portion of the normal ACAD.mnu (that contains all the pull down code)…
#21255 DOWNLOADING MESSAGES Message #21294
From: Jamie Clay [Adesk] Autodesk · General March 29, 1988 1:39 PM
Bob, As per my earlier message, the answer to your CompuServe needs lie in either one of two programs that are available in the IBM COMmunications forum. (GO IBMCOM) AutoSIG (ATO) is a public domain program that does quite a lot for so little. It will automatically thread / scan…
#21250 DOWNLOADING MESSAGES Message #21292
From: Jamie Clay [Adesk] Autodesk · General March 29, 1988 1:39 PM
Bob, I am not sure where I can help you except in the communications area. I would get a copy of either TAPCIS or AutoSIG (GO IBMCOM) to handle your messages. Both offer automatic passes and message retrieval. And make sure to set CAPS LOCK off next time. Jamie
#21249 #ADI Message #21291
From: Jamie Clay [Adesk] Autodesk · AutoCAD March 29, 1988 1:39 PM
Randy, You can order the ADI through your sales rep. It is here in DOCs only. Now Rando, are you guys a registered Developer? If so fill me in on the details. Brad can answer your last ques. grin> Jamie
#21267 acad.lsp Message #21290
From: Jamie Clay [Adesk] Autodesk · General March 29, 1988 1:38 PM
Well, I wasn't "jesting". But I think there is a fairly clear issue you yourself brought up. In the Software Licence Agreement it does state you promise not to change the software. It also says you promise not to modify any copyright or trademark notice in the software. I would…
#21238 acad.lsp Message #21289
From: Jamie Clay [Adesk] Autodesk · General March 29, 1988 1:38 PM
Well, what I should explain is, by "warrantee" I meant support warrantee. As in, we will offer support to you through normal channels as long as you don't alter the package's integrity. Like patching a driver, .OVL using non supported methods within LISP or in this case breaking the protection…
#21209- #Herc Troubles Message #21237
From: Jamie Clay [Adesk] Autodesk · AutoCAD March 28, 1988 5:10 PM
John, I hate to ask this, but what was the condition that your friend "gave" you his old AutoCAD? Unless he sold/gave it to you, complete, and you are now assuming the registration this is a serious violation of the software's copyright. Old version or not this is not legal.…

#21212 Mouse Driver Message #21236
From: Jamie Clay [Adesk] Autodesk · AutoCAD March 28, 1988 4:43 PM
Ray, You should not be loading ANY driver from Logitech in order to use it with AutoCAD's Logi Driver. The driver Logi supplies is a MSmouse emulation driver and should not be loaded when using the AutoCAD supplied driver. I know the newer driver (DUD supplied) had some adjustments made…
#21199- #acad.lsp Message #21235
From: Jamie Clay [Adesk] Autodesk · General March 28, 1988 4:42 PM
Dick, first unprotecting AEC's lisp routine voids the warranty. Second the invalid character can come from a HIGH level ASCII character in the file, one that a word processor would leave. Check to make sure your Word Proc isn't leaving stuff behind. You can't currently add to ACAD.LSP that comes…
#21196- .drv Message #21234
From: Jamie Clay [Adesk] Autodesk · General March 28, 1988 4:42 PM
You would be best then to pop over to the Picture Support Forum. (go PICS). We currently don't have a GIF "driver" for AutoCAD but believe it or not there has been a wish for one. I can see a limited need for one but currently there are many GIF…
#21187- #AutoSketch ?/wishes Message #21233
From: Jamie Clay [Adesk] Autodesk · AutoSketch March 28, 1988 4:42 PM
Well, like Duff said your list is pretty much future feature wishes, but there are ways to get some of these effects now. 1) You were on the right track with the pen width idea. The trick we have used is to take all the lines you want heavier,and make…
