Lisp error- "no function definition- VLAX-WRITE-ENABLED-P

[Skierz]

Hello,

Below attached lisp file is for deleting the solid hatches from the drawing , even from the nested blocks. But when I am trying to run it in on any of the drawing , I am getting error as shown in the below picture. 


Can somebody help me to figure out why I am getting this error?
 

delsolhat.lsp

Thanks

This may HELP

 

Although there is a previous vlax call, it could be No 3 or No 4, probably No 4.

When in doubt Google

@dlanorh Thanks for this tip.
It seems, you are correct. The antivirus software may be interfering and doing some registry clean up causing this error. Since the antivirus is controlled by office administration, I can neither disable nor uninstall it.

It would be of great help if you can suggest some alternate work around .
Thanks

Another Link to Autodesk. This page has an attachment at the bottom to replace the missing registry files, if that is the cause. READ IT CAREFULLY as it is setup for AutoCAD 2020 but explains what to do for earlier versions. HERE

@BIGAL I did , but after going through the post shared by @dlanorh I realized that this issue is with all the lisp using vlax functions. Probably, due to my antivirus software interfering and registry cleanup. So , I wanted to eliminate the root cause.

Thanks @dlanorh for this article. Before trying this out, I searched the internet and common suggestions were to firstly try repairing and updating the AutoCAD.
Luckily,  after repairing and updating the AutoCAD , this lisp started working fine.
Thanks , I got to learn much about troubleshooting !
