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 with AEC. There have been a few attempts to alter it but none have been proven reliable. Some have tried to Create a NEW ACAD.LSP, add their routines, then on the last line add (load "AEC") renaming the AEC ACAD.LSP to AEC.LSP. For some reason this will not work for all users, and it is a non-supported method. I suggest you create a menu pick that loads the routine for you. Add it either the screen menu or tablet menu. This is THE BEST WAY. You don't have the routine loaded till needed and it is done automatically! Jamie
