copyswaptext

[sanjeeve]

Hi Lee

 

i have been using your copyswaptext las 1 year it was workingSwapText.lsp fine all of a sudden today it stooped working

[Lee Mac]

How can I possibly help if the only information you provide is that it 'stooped working'? What error message do you receive?

In order to help Lee if you're not familiar with LISP, you can check the "Break on Error" under the "Debug" ribbon in VLIDE before issuing the command.

 

You can describe your process of using the command, then when the command breaks, press Ctrl + F9 to go to the break source to exactly go where the routine fails.

 

When you're done inspecting your errors and want to resume drawing, press Ctrl + Q to quit the error and command.

Hope this helps with the error.

No function definition vlax-ename->vla-object... that's a first. Must have been a very old AutoCAD. It works fine for me. Are you sure you didn't do something like the below:

(setq vlax-ename->vla-object nil)

Add

(vl-load-com)

 

anywhere outside the function... make it global. Can be the very first line or the very last line, then run it again

 

Well, Lee's routine had that line written down near the end of the file though. Unless you only take some part of the routine and leave some out, then it would make sense that the program will fail. You need to load the entire program

 

If that still doesn't solve it, I don't know what else will solve it. You'll need to wait for the higher-ups.

thanks for the help

Are you using the mac version of AutoCAD or a LT version? If not, your registry has probably lost some keys

look here for a solution

I've seen this issue before - unfortunately the only reliable way that I have found to fix it is a reinstallation of AutoCAD.

THANKS 

I'll try later, I found a lisp on another web it is working fine so far I am using that for now. thanks again
