Have you had ANY machine work with this code? If not I would like to see it, can you upload a file here? (DL 9) It will not get on the public section so worry not and uploads are free. Jamie

Jamie, The problem is that the routine is part of a whole program. Which is somewhere around 12K once kelvinated. (I'll have to check its size with remark statements.) I'm going to have to see if I can get isolate the routine and still get the same problem. Let me work at it, and see if I can do that. I'll let you know how its going. I had an idea that I mentioned the other day to someone else on the board. It seems that in the situations that these empty LISP files appear, I also often see the dreaded "OUT OF STRING SPACE" (or something close to that effect) error. Could it be that in these circumstances, that I am running out of string space in the middle of a file write routine, and that this causes the empty file, and upon returning from that LISP routine the error message is never printed?? (It's a long shot… but its an idea!) ——– Mike

Michael — Maybe yes, maybe no. Send us the files, and we'll take a look at it! Jamie loves to debug long, complex AutoLISP routines that generate strange errors. — Brad

Sure, I love that kind of stuff <grimace>. But do it soon, the "Expo crunch" is setting in and my time is getting a real squeeze. Jamie

Jamie, How do I upload the file so that 2,500,000 other Compuserve users are not able to access or (gulp heaven forbid) download my source? —– Mike

Easy enough, you upload it and enter the description FOR AUTODESK ONLY! Files when uploaded are put in a holding area so I can review them, no one else will see the file. Jamie
