skipsophrenic Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Hi all, I'v written my first program without following a step by step idiot guide and guess what? i think it's a lemon! I've posted the code below - what's happening is I go to load it, and AutoCAD says "Command: ; error: malformed list on input" where am I going wrong here pls? ;Routine to reset -Scalelistedit in 1 command ;Written by P. Smith (Defun c:SCLLSTRST () ;Define Function Name (command "-scalelistedit" "";Invokes Scalelistedit command ("R" ;Reset Scale list ("Y" ; Yes ("E" ;Exit -Scalelist command ) ) ) ) (princ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Mac Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Skip, If you have access to the vlide, in ACAD, click on the button as shown in my pic to test for unequal brackets, etc... Also, all the commands are colour coded so that you can tell if its a valid LISP command. - helps loads. And don't worry about the first attempt - you should have seen my first attempt! Putting them all on separate lines isn't such a big mistake - after all, script files use separate lines - it could be a common mistake. But just as a pointer, if you are using a "(command "...." function, put everything in there and then close the bracket, like in feargt example. i.e (command "-layer" "M" "TEST" "C" "2" "TEST" "") Hope this helps!
