error Trapping??


BLOACH85

Recommended Posts

Here is a Lisp routine that draws a text box around text,mtext,or dimensions i modified it to draw the box and allow the user to trim inside of the box then the box goes away but if you hit the escape button at any point then all of the osnap settings turn off. Can anyone help with the error trap on this lisp? Ive tried but no full success yet. Thanks

by far the best error handler ive seen to date would have to be from a friend named Evgeniy.

 

Post by: *ElpanovEvgeniy*

------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the beginning of function I establish a list of the necessary environment variables,

list variable always miscellaneous:

 

Code:

(SETQ
 ERROR-LST-
            '("AUTOSNAP" "OSMODE" "APERTURE" "HPSPACE" "HPASSOC" "MIRRTEXT" "AUPREC" "LUPREC"
              "DIMZIN" "cecolor"
             )
 ERROR-LST- (mapcar (function (lambda (a) (list 'setvar a (getvar a)))) ERROR-LST-)
) ;_  SETQ

 

Function *error*

Code:

(defun *error* (msg) (MAPCAR 'eval ERROR-LST-))

 

 

It is a universal *error* function :-)

Give it a try:

(*error* "")

> ... not quite as elegant...

 

Oh don't feel bad at! i was blown away when i first saw his solution (I almost fell out of my chair as a matter of fact!). It's quite amazing isnt it? Besides, looks like you had the same idea anyways.

this is the *error* handler i keep in my template. you are more than welcome to this. i went ahead and added the reset of the osmode and an undo end. if using this type of *error* handler, you MUST localize it (place it in the main routine and add *error* to your local variables.

 

;;;error handler

 (defun *error* (msg)
   (and Osmode# (setvar "osmode" Osmode#))
   (command "_.undo" "_e")
   (if
     (not
   (member
     msg
     '("console break" "Function cancelled" "quit / exit abort")
   ) ;_ member
     ) ;_ not
      (princ (strcat "\nError: " msg))
   ) ;_ if
 ) ;_ defun

Good point - I have had many a discussion about localising error handlers as opposed to

 

(setq olderr *error* *error* newerr)
(defun newerr (msg)
 (setq *error* olderr)
etc etc

I'm not sure that there is a "right" way to do it, but I much prefer to localise the *error* after redefining it.

well crap, i guess everyone beat me to the punch.

john, once again, you prove to be my hero.

 

yuck, i hate the way pasted in code looks when i'm on my mac.

Complex? *Pthhht!* I have one that i based on one from Vladimir Nesterovsky and ElpanovEvgeniy's It was quite big.

Well guys It looks like there are more ways to use the error trap than i thought. I appreciate the solution but more appreciate the info!!

I added one line to this and it works like a charm. Before if you hit escape the box would stay but this not only restores the vars but erases the box too. So thanks again

 

;;;error handler
 (defun *error* (msg)
   (and Osmode# (setvar "osmode" Osmode#))
   [color=red] (and(command "_erase" (entlast)""))[/color]
   (command "_.undo" "_e")
   (if
     (not
   (member
     msg
     '("console break" "Function cancelled" "quit / exit abort")
   ) ;_ member
     ) ;_ not

I wouldn't use "entlast" if I were you - if you set the box entity to some variable, test for the box's creation first:

 

i.e.

 

(if box (entdel box))

 

Otherwise, this could cause an error in itself if the box is not made before the user hits escape.

But it is also More simple and Just as Effective to just have

 

[color=#ff0000](and(command "_erase" "previous" ""))[/color]

 

is it not?

I just try to steer clear of "command" calls thats all.

You must bear in mind that your box may not be drawn when the user hits escape, so this may erase any previous entity drawn before your box.

Yes but now with the erase previous it will not erase any entity thats was made before the command was envoked. Even if the box was not drawn first.

In the blink of an eye.

 

( (lambda ( / ent ent-handle )
   (setq ent (entget (car (entsel)))
         ent-handle (cdr (assoc 5 ent)))
   ;; get the entity and store the handle
   ;; using the handle we can obtain the ename of the entity
   (entdel (handent ent-handle))
   ;; delete the entity

   (entdel (handent ent-handle))
   ;; put it back

   (princ)
   )
 )
