Calling specific layers in land desk

[DustinF]

I am working on trying to run an Autolisp program that we use for patterning lines at work. We have a machine that used version 12 that will pattern the lines however we need to get the program to run on land desk 2002 LT. How does ACAD call individual line names? The logic of the program seems to be OK but with no way to call the lines it runs through the code but produces no results.

 

Any ideas?

 

I also understand that there needs to be a .lsp file in the folder containing the project to call the pattern function. Is there any way to move this to the program folder without having it ride along with every project?

 

Thanks

Can you explain what you mean by "patterning lines"? Can this be done simply by creating different linetypes?

[DustinF]

This can be done with different linetypes through the translator that we use but when a dashed line is stroked out on the screen it becomes multiple polylines. The LISP routine actually creates a scalloped look by creating a series of various diameter arcs that are strung together to create one soild line.

Have you posted the question in the lisp forum?
