Why AutoCAD command POLARARRAY doesn't take my number?

Hi.

I'm extremely new to this. I created a .lsp file and I'm doing polar array.

(COMMAND "ARRAYPOLAR" "LAST" "" center "12" "360" "eXit" )

Command: ARRAYPOLAR

Select objects: LAST 1 found

Select objects:

Type = Polar Associative = Yes

Specify center point of array or [base point/Axis of rotation]:

Enter number of items or [Angle between/Expression] : 12

Point or option keyword required.

; error: Function cancelled

It seems last object is found, center point is defined in the beginning. It doesn't take number of items?

I've also unsuccessfully tried

(COMMAND "ARRAYPOLAR" "LAST" "" center 12 "360" "eXit" )

and some other silly workarounds but none worked.

Since I don't have AutoCAD 2012 I cannot test with that command - but you can get the same result with classical, ARRAY command:

(command "_ARRAY" (entlast) "" "_P" center 12 360.0 "_Y")

Thank you for a quick response.

Works beautifully

Sound good - you're welcome!

I will try to find a station with AutoCAD 2012 to see also what was wrong with your attempt.

I manage to find a workstation with AutoCAD 2012 and seems that there is a bug of this command - I mean it randomly accept or reject the

keyboard input on number of items prompter.

I have made a dedicated post for this issue on AutoCAD general section to see other opinions.

Pzi,

Please read the CODE POSTING GUIDELINES and edit your first post!

When the arraypolar or the arrayrect command doesn't accept input, move your cursor away from the objects and it should accept it. I assumed the command is reading the position of the cursor to generate the number of object and when the cursor hasn't moved it does accept any input.
