1 question, what this function progn do exactly?

 

(progn

 

Is used after an IF statement to indicate you have multiple statements to follow. If you have only one statement in the IF code, then you can omit the (progn. And of course you can have multiple (progn to nest your IF statements. It's similar to THEN, ELSE or ELSEIF when programming in other languages like VB. I sometimes have trouble with a block of code and a missing (progn is usually the culprit.

 

(if (= x 1)
 (progn
    (command "._LINE" pt1 pt2 "")
    (command "._LINE" pt3 pt4 "")
    .
    .   (do some more stuff if needed)
    .
 ); end progn[color="red"] (only execute the above lines if the IF was True)[/color]
 (progn
   (command "._LINE" pt5 pt6 "")
   (command "._LINE" pt7 pt8 "")
 ); end progn[color="red"] (only execute if the IF was not True)[/color]
); end if
