help in function silently opening file

July 6

Hello everyone, I've made a function based on Lee's great function to copy passed ss with objects, into existing passed file name and folder, but unfortunately can't make it open dwg in background and it always opens dialog box.

Tried also with filedia as u can see but it doesn't work. Any advice is appreciated

well of course it opens a dialog, (setq dwg (getfiled "" fnPath "" 8)) , getfiled is get file dialog

If your filename is : fnPath (strcat folderPath "/" fn ".dwg") either skip the getfiled-part or replace it with something like :

(and (setq sel objSS) (setq dwg (findfile fnPath)))

thank you, that part now works, now i'm getting 'Error: Automation Error. Invalid owner object' in this part and have no clue what it means, like it can't get Model tab or something

thank you for your response but even with yours function i'm getting Automation Error. Invalid owner object in line:

(vla-CopyObjects acDoc object-safe-array (vla-get-ModelSpace dbx))

July 8

Sorry I don't have any more time at this moment , but maybe run an audit on your drawing. It may be corrupt.

July 8

still, thank you in trying to help

July 8

i've tried both functions, from Lee and Rlx, on multiple validated files and always get same error on practically same row, so if someone has any idea why it could be happening i'm all ears

July 8

maybe post / PM a sample drawing and exaclty what you do (how you select) , if there is external / third party objects in there that can be a problem. But will have a look later 2day/week

your lisp works on its own, but in my lisp as called function it doesn't...perhaps i'm not supplying file correctly...i can't paste my whole lisp, it has 1.6k lines, but will add a drawing and part that calls your function.

My lisp basically creates profile from selected points, selects that profile line in ss by creating empty ss before creating profile line and after creating all parts of profile it adds all created objects in that ss, and i want to copy that profile ss in another existent drawing that has a name based on station like 18100.dwg

(if(= create_new_table "I")
	   (progn
	       (setq folderPath (vlax-get-property (vlax-get-property IndObjFolder 'Self) 'Path))	       
	       (while (setq profile_lastEnt (entnext profile_lastEnt)) ;here it adds objects in SS
		    ;; Add all entity's created/modified after setting lastent to the selection set0
		   (ssadd profile_lastEnt profile_ss)		   
		) ;_ _while
	       (if (= (rem station 1) 0)
		   (if(findfile(setq fn(strcat folderPath "\\" (rtos station 2 0) ".dwg")))
		      (ctd profile_ss fn)
		      (progn
			  (alert(strcat"File with station"(rtos station 2 0)".dwg not found!"))
			  (exit)
			  )
		      )
		   (if(findfile(setq fn(strcat folderPath "\\" (rtos station 2 2) ".dwg")))
		      (ctd profile_ss fn)
		      (progn
			  (alert(strcat"File with station"(rtos station 2 2)".dwg not found!"))
			  (exit)
			  )
		      )
		   )
	       )
	   )

template AC.dwg

18100.dwg

You could attach the whole lisp if its too big to paste the code here. From this part I can't really understand how are you create profile_ss selection set, this could be the problem why it doesn't work for you.

July 8

well, there's also some copyright involved , but here is a part from creating empty ss to adding objects in it and passing to ctd function...big part of this is skipped (like entering distances and heights to table) cause only when these 3 conditions from first 'if' are met then lisp does something

in another part of my lisp i also use same type of selecting objects in ss and copying to newly created file that also rlx helped me with and there it works normally , you can see that in the end tv:wb function call

well, there's also some copyright involved , but here is a part from creating empty ss to adding objects in it and passing to ctd function...big part of this is skipped (like entering distances and heights to table) cause only when these 3 conditions from first 'if' are met then lisp does something

in another part of my lisp i also use same type of selecting objects in ss and copying to newly created file that also rlx helped me with and there it works normally , you can see that in the end tv:wb function call

Eh IGH, dal s geodetom pričam?

Most of added stuff is table creation, what I'm trying to figure out what is "profile_lastEnt", you define it with (entlast), but what is that? And then later you use in while loop to create selection set, and it looks weird to me, but maybe I'm missing something

July 8

before passing selection set to copy-to-dwg function , maybe check if your selectionset is actually a selectionset and if it is , it has elements in it.

(if (and (= (type SS) 'PICKSET) (> (sslength ss) 0)) .....

da kolega geodeta Os-Koteks

you define profile_lastEnt as last object after which you create objects that will go into SS, it's a boundary for while loop as it adds objects going backward through created objects

i'll try to check that, but my watch window shows that profile_ss is indeed selection set

pa pozdrav kolega!
Okay, got that part now, even though you could add objects to selection set as you are creating them, it would be better in my opinion
And here is the problem I think, I also get the error in that line with using this part, but maybe again I am missing something

(repeat	(length pntucssort)
		    (setq ent (nth n pntucssort)) ;_ _setq
		    (entmake
			(list '(0 . "VERTEX") ; Object type
			      (cons 10 (list (car ent) (caddr ent) 0.0))
			      ;(cons 10 ent)
			) ;_  list
		    ) ;_  entmake
		    (setq z_values (cons (caddr ent) z_values))
		    (setq hdistances (cons (car ent) hdistances))
		    (setq n (1+ n))
		) ;_ _repeat

I don't understand why this VERTEX entmake, and it probably adds it in selection set but doesn't create it, so can't copy it therefore it gives error

July 9

i've made some changes to try adding to ss after creating so did this, changing adding and control of ss on the end of creation

(progn
;;;		(setq profile_ss (ssadd) ; Create an empty selection set
;;;		      profile_lastEnt(entlast) ; Get the last entity in the drawing
;;;		      )
		(setvar 'OSMODE 0)
		(entmake
		    '((0 . "POLYLINE")	; Object type*******************************************

		) ;_  entmake
		(setq n 0)

		    (entmake

			      ;(cons 10 ent)
			) ;_  list
		    ) ;_  entmake
		    (setq z_values (cons (caddr ent) z_values))
		    (setq hdistances (cons (car ent) hdistances))
		    (setq n (1+ n))
		) ;_ _repeat
		(entmake '((0 . "SEQEND")))
		(setq profile_ss(entlast))
		(if (and (= (type profile_ss) 'PICKSET) (> (sslength profile_ss) 0))
		    (princ"\nSS valid")
		    (princ"\nNone selected SS")
		    )		
	    ) ;

and getting none selected so you are right that something is wrong in adding

July 9

but when i leave original creating of profile_ss and add control, it passes control and gives that first error Automation Error. Invalid owner object in ctd function...

here is original+implemented control

(if(= create_new_table "I")
	   (progn
	       (while (setq profile_lastEnt (entnext profile_lastEnt))
		   ;; Add all entity's created/modified after setting lastent to the selection set0

		   (princ "\nOK")

		       (princ "\nNone selected SS")
