Help me fix this?

[Zorg]

(defun c:vpl( / )
(command "mv" "lock" "on")
)

 

I'm having a bit of viewport trouble at the moment. In some drawings when i select a viewport and go to the properties, it displays nothing. I tried to make a quick fix for locking viewports by using MV and wanted to make a quick lisp with the command vpl, however; when i click the viewport and run this it does nothing, likewise if i run the command and then wish to click on the viewport i get a nil response.

 

Can anyone explain what is wrong? Or if there is a better way of going about this?

 

Many thanks in advance.

You were trying to use the alias, Try this.

 

(defun c:vpl()
(command "_.MVIEW" "L" "ON")
)

Sorry Zorg,

 

Try this to avoid the nil echo:

 

(defun c:vpl ()
(command "_.MVIEW" "L" "ON" pause)
)
