How to call textmask command in Lisp

[prakashreddy]

Hi,
I am facing problem to call Textmask command in lisp. It is telling unknown command when i am loading. Can anyone help...

TextMask is an Express Tools command and is a LISP function, not a registered command.

You will hence need to call it as a LISP function:

(c:textmask)

Or, you can study the textmask.lsp file in th Express folder of the AutoCAD Program Files and call the various TextMask subfunctions separately.

Thanks Mr Lee
I used to call like this, But it is telling "error: too many arguments"
(c:textmask "l" 0.25)
(c:textmask (entlast) 0.25)

[Lee Mac]

The 'c:textmask' function definition cannot accept arguments, you will need to study the textmask.lsp file in the Express folder of the AutoCAD Program Files directory to find the relevant subfunction to call.

Thanks Mr Lee

I got the solution. I am proceeding like this...

(acet-textmask-make-wipeout (entlast) 0)

it is working fine.
