Upgraded Burst

I wrote this a few days ago, following a request from one of the members on here, but didn't quite perfect it.

The program will operate in much the same way at the native Burst command, but should be a lot faster and won't create text from Invisible Attributes.

Give it a shot and let me know what you think

Lee,

Just tested it on one block with attributes and I got this error:

Select objects:
** Error: no function definition: VLA-GET-EXPLODABLE **
Command: 

Ooo, I haven't had that reported before... blocks do have the 'Explodable' property, so I'm not sure why that would be the error.

Can anyone else report this?

I will post the block drawing for you to try it yourself. Let me know what happens.

By the way, This is one of those blocks created with an entmake program.

Not sure if thats important.

In fact, just checked, the Express Tool's version of this command also uses that function...

I used the express tools version on it and it works fine.

Not sure if it matters, I am using your program in 2004 and having this problem. I tested in 2009 also and all is OK.

Perhaps that function doesn't exist in '04...

Please try the updated code in 2004

Hot Dog! On the money. What did you find?

I just thought that function was available in all versions is all - they don't really specify in the help file in which version functions were introduced, so its a bit hit and miss sometimes, and I don't think anybody had tested it in a version as old as 2004 before. So I just put in a check that the property was available before calling it. Simples.

Well that solves that.

I deleted the other post so nobody downloads that thinking it was yours.

Good point, also the fact that its illegal to post the ADesk version

Sorry about that.

No sweat mate

It has a built-in speedometer?

Pull Over, I want to see your licence and registration.

No, I just compared both functions using another bit of code

Never take me seriously.
