tughant Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Hi Lee, I'm using this lisp for more than one year. And it's one of my favourite lisp. But today I got an error as "** Error: Automation Error. Problem in loading application **". How can I solve the problem, do you have any suggestion? Quote
Lee Mac Posted October 16, 2015 Author Posted October 16, 2015 Hi tughant, I'm glad you find (or should I say, found) the program useful; regarding your error, please see this earlier post. Lee Quote
tughant Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Thanks Lee for fast reply, RegisterObjectDBX didn't resolve the problem but finally I clean uninstall/reinstalled the Autocad and it works now. Quote

bababarghi Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) Lee, I was wondering if someone else has already reported the bug that the report file wouldn't be generated when user is doing a SEARCH ONLY batch. Or maybe I am wrong and the report is only meant to be generated only if there is Replacement batch?! Edited June 1, 2016 by bababarghi Quote

Or maybe I am wrong and the report is only meant to be generated only if there is Replacement batch?! The report should always be generated for a 'Search Only' run, but will only be generated for a replacement run if the 'Always Generate Replacement Report' option is enabled. The report should be created in the same directory as the processed drawings (if write-permissions allow this). Quote
bababarghi Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) The report should always be generated for a 'Search Only' run, but will only be generated for a replacement run if the 'Always Generate Replacement Report' option is enabled. The report should be created in the same directory as the processed drawings (if write-permissions allow this). I am afraid that's not the case on my machine then ! The write permission is granted on the drive which drawings reside. The program runs without any problem and I see the console message which states that XXX drawing processed but no Excel file would be generated EDIT: It doesn't create the excel report because the research result is NONE (no instance of keyword exist in searching directory). I think the code should still create a and open a blank report regardless. Don't you think Lee? Edited June 1, 2016 by bababarghi Quote
Pegleg55 Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Lee Mac, first thank you for your amazing lisp routines, I use them often. I am having an issue with the Batch Find & Replace. I type bfind, and the window comes up. It shows the last info I did a find and replace from, however when I enter in new info to find and replace and hit OK, the window goes away and nothing happens. If I open bfind again, it still shows the old info. I can't figure out what is going on. Any ideas? Quote
Lee Mac Posted February 10, 2017 Author Posted February 10, 2017 What is the command-line output received? Quote
Pegleg55 Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 What is the command-line output received? According to the text window, this is what I'm getting: Command: BFIND Select Object: Working, Please Wait... ** Error: Automation Error. Problem in loading application ** I have tried deleting and unloading the lisp, then downloading a new copy but it still keeps the old info in the find and replace boxes. Quote

Problem in loading application ** I have tried deleting and unloading the lisp, then downloading a new copy but it still keeps the old info in the find and replace boxes. From the error message you are receiving, it would seem that the ObjectDBX DLL required by the BFind program is not found or registered on your system; ObjectDBX is the technology which is required to interface with a drawing without opening the drawing in the AutoCAD Editor – it is provided with the standard AutoCAD installation. The attached program (RegisterObjectDBX.lsp) will attempt to automatically find & register the required DLL module if found on your system – the command for the attached program is regodbx. The program should also print some diagnostic messages to the command-line when run. After running the program, please restart AutoCAD and try my BFind program again – if this remains unsuccessful, I could only unfortunately suggest an AutoCAD reinstallation to attempt to resolve the problem.

Pegleg55 Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Unfortunately that didn't work (was returning nil). I did get it working again however. Last week I installed Advanced System Care (which I have done many times, just not on my newest computer), and ran a cleanup. I figured that may have been the culprit and did a rollback to before I installed it and now it works just fine. Now I know not to use that again. Thanks for your quick responses, as always, thanks for your great list of addons for AutoCad since it truly does make my work easier. Quote
