CHTEXT.LSP
Message #34320
SYSOP Still having problems with CHTEXT. I have yet to be able to change a text to a justification of Fit or Aligned. Maybe there's something wrong with my system, but every time I go to change to these justifications, the text shrivels up, moves over to the 1st insert…
Tony I've finished a lisp I've been working on, save for a way around getting the dreaded "Bad entmod list". I'm using "(setq a1 (list (assoc -1 var)(cons 39 pck)))" to change thickness of an entity (& 40 height, 41 width, etc.). I havent't been able to figure out a…
Duff I thought I did. Let's try it again: I've finished a lisp I've been working on, save for a way around getting the dreaded "Bad entmod list". I'm using "(setq a1 (list (assoc -1 var)(cons 39 pck)))" to change thickness of an entity (& 40 height, 41 width, etc.).…
#AVOIDING BAD ENTMOD
Message #34168
SYSOP I've finished a lisp I've been working on, save for a way around getting the dreaded "Bad entmod list". I'm using "(setq a1 (list (assoc -1 var)(cons 39 pck)))" to change thickness of an entity (& 40 height, 41 width, etc.). I havent't been able to figure out a…
Dave Hey, thanx for the quote–I needed that. Let's stick together on this one. I'm forming an unPeace March on Sausalito to get AutoDesk to include error messages in the documentation so us (or is it we), hell, the entire ACAD user community can look up their own error messages…
Anil Are you new here or something? You are really good, & I'm grateful for your answers: right on the mark. Stay! Appreciatively, Jeff
Tony I never would have guessed that in a trillion years; that's almost a lifetime in dog years. Actually, it wasn't in the lisp itself. Using a Power Mouse, I load up a full macro of (setq ang nil ent nil…..). That allows me to check the variables after each…
Ken 10-4, commander. Ramdrive away… Appreciatively, Jeff
Larry Tell me about it . You know, I really like the theory that if someone is willing to invest $10k+ in a system, take lessons to learn the programs, that there should be sufficient documentation for the user to at least have the information to be able to attempt…
(AND)
Message #28524
Tony Strangest thing–when I 1st go into ACAD, the (and) lisp function works perfect: (and 1 1) returns T. After about 10 min., it starts returning: "error: null function". Seeing as how it at least works at the beginning of each drawing session, that would seem to me to rule…

#CPUs or Whatever
Message #28523
Ken Don't mind the tease at all, but rest assured there's no teasing on my part regarding system problems. I don't have the time, & I know it would be a bad joke to waste your guys' time on nonsense. Still, I do appreciate your challenges. I just spent a…

RE: 27011
Message #28522
Walt Tony helped my with being able to include in a lisp the ability to pull down pull-down menus (e.g. (menucmd P6=*)). What I wanted to know was can you progress further by including in the lisp the command to click on the DTEXT options, then click on the Font…
#(AND)
Message #28355
SYSOP When I first get into the drawing editor, everything works fine, including the (and) function. After 10-15 minutes, the (and) function stops working. Initially: (and 1 1) & (or 1 1) returns T. Then (and 1 1) returns "error:null function" & (or 1 1) returns T. STATUS: virt. mem.…
#RAMDRIVE
Message #28354
Ken Cancel on the Ramdrive having any positive effect on performance–it's not even loading up via the CONFIG.SYS ("error on line 6"). It seems to me that Craig had a little ditty on copying ACAD files to another directory, or something, & a couple of other steps to make the…
#LISP CALLING
Message #21971
Andrew I screwed up the thread, so hang on. Again, a zillion thanx for the knock-out effort you put into trying to get me to see the light about calling in a lisp routine from within another. Basically, the answer you gave was the same as Tony's & a couple…
#SCREEN CAPTURE
Message #21970
Theo I screwed up the thread on this one–long story, short message. The shareware CAPTURE-.ZIP works perfectly in certain ways, so I have to use this as a reference. If the TSR is loaded, you hit the Alt-C keys, & whatever is on the screen at the time is saved…
CHTEXT.LSP
Message #21800
SYSOP I've been warned time & again about the bugs in CHTEXT.LSP. Unless I'm experiencing a setvar problem, I've noticed a couple of trouble makers myself. When justification is changed, I believe or all but "Left", you also get a prompt for a new location. The rubber band starts from…

PIPING SOFTWARE
Message #21799
Rob I've turned over your suggestions to my boss & we're mulling it over currently. Thanx for the time & effort you put in assembling this report! Appreciatively, Jeff
PIPING SOFTWARE
Message #21798
Randy I've showed your message to my boss, along with a few others for him to peruse. I'll let you know if he goes for your suggestion. Either way, thanx for the great effort. Appreciatively, Jeff
LISP CALLING
Message #21797
Rusty Whatever you do, please stay on this wavelength. In the past 6 months, I've probably gotten 6-7 "answers" from SYSOPS around the globe. Your's was the first *correct* answer which incorporated the "C:", my missing ingredient. This has really freed up some "stuck" lisps I've had in the closet…
ACAD.HLP–HELP
Message #21796
David Great suggestion. It's been so long since I've edited the ACAD.HLP file, I did forget about that deleting so it could be recreated anew. That did take care of 50% of the problem. The other was turning on CMDECHO which is necessary for my Flexicon icon macros to display…
