Problem with list

Sorry Thread should be named Problem with Lisp

My AutoCAD crashed and I had to uninstall and reinstall. Now my lisp routines will no longer work. I have been using the BreakObjects.lsp by Charles Alan Butler for a while and now when I try to use it i get the following error

"; error: no function definition: VLAX-ENAME->VLA-OBJECT"

It happens to many lisp routines, I just thought everyone may know this one. Can anyone help me with whats going on. All my lisps are useless right now.

Add

(vl-load-com)

To your ACADDOC.lsp, or to the top of those LISPs which are returning the error.

I have seen cases where the above doesn't cut it, especially for 2011 it seems - also try typing the above manually at the command-line (this solved it for me when I first installed it).

Thanks, but it did not work.

Try to post one your routines which is not working so far .

Your install may have become corrupt.

What happens when you type (vl-load-com)?

I do not have any of my personal routines that do not work because I have not gotten that deep into the programming to use VLA. I do not like posting someone else's work, but here is one that most people know about and its not working for me, http://www.cadstudio.cz/download.asp go 3/4 way down the page and the BreakAll is one of the commands. you can download it and take a look at it. The file is also available at the theswamp.com for download.

alanjt, I went to the AutoCAD window and entered (vl-load-com) at the command line, nothing happened it seemed. I went back to my lisp editor and it was locked like running a command. I had to go back to the command line and enter vlisp to free it up. I think you might be right abut a corruption. Any ideas about how to fix it?

Run a repair on the installation.

Before you do that, what happens when you execute this and select any object in autocad?

(progn (vl-load-com) (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (entsel))))

I ran it and below is the outcome.

Command: (progn (vl-load-com) (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (entsel))))

Select object: ; error: no function definition: VLAX-ENAME->VLA-OBJECT

Corrupt installation.
