rod_smithsr Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 Good day all. I uploaded a lisp file into AC 2012 and it shows that it uploaded sucessfuly. However when I go to run the routing i get the error message 'error: bad character read (octal): 4' Can anyone help? Quote
Lee Mac Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 Ensure the file is saved with encoding set to ANSI, e.g: http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?66752-Ascii&p=456834&viewfull=1#post456834 Quote
rod_smithsr Posted March 6, 2012 Author Posted March 6, 2012 Hey Lee, thx for your help. The file is saved in that manner with encoding set to ANSI. Still not working Quote
Lee Mac Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 Have you edited the file using Wordpad or Word or other such programs, as these will add control characters to the file, causing errors. Quote
rod_smithsr Posted March 6, 2012 Author Posted March 6, 2012 No sir. I have only copied and pasted and/or saved it. Quote
rod_smithsr Posted March 6, 2012 Author Posted March 6, 2012 sure i will start a new thread and post it.. Quote
Lee Mac Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 It is a compiled VLX file whose extension has been changed to .lsp Change the extension to .vlx and try it. Did you not think the content was unlike any other LISP file you have seen?!? Quote
rod_smithsr Posted March 6, 2012 Author Posted March 6, 2012 Im very new to lisp routines. In fact this one the first one i ever used. I have the vlx file as well and it doesnt work either... :-( Quote
SLW210 Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Why did you start a new thread? I have combined them. Quote
