VLX not found

[dbroada]

not really a vlisp problem but I'll ask here anyway.

 

several, but by no means all, my drawings open with this..

Command: _open
Opening an AutoCAD 2007 format file.
; error: VLISP: internal: Document application(.VLX) not found
; error: VLISP: internal: Document application(.VLX) not found
; error: VLISP: internal: Document application(.VLX) not found
; error: VLISP: internal: Document application(.VLX) not found

; error: VLISP: internal: Document application(.VLX) not found
Regenerating model.

does anybody have an idea of what is causing this and what I need to do to stop it?

 

Very few of our drawings are started from scatch, most are modified old ones (we're a lazy bunch) so this could have been inherited from a very long time ago.

A portion of the error message you are seeing is made reference to in this article posted at the AutoDesk website.

Again, from AutoDesk website:

 

"VLX (Visual LISP executable). Just like LSP and FAS files, a VLX can load and run a Visual LISP program..."

[dbroada]

thanks for the pointer but that one is not helpful. We have plain vanilla ACAD and have never had Land Development.

 

I tried changing PROXYGRAPHICS to 0 but no effect.

No locked layers in the drawing in question.

 

however APPLOAD does show a number of AEC* objects, some of which cannot be unloaded.

Jeez Dave I'm stumped. Maybe try an audit of one of the files?

[Lee Mac]

Dave,

 

I thought maybe try (vl-list-loaded-vlx) at the command line, but on second thoughts, this would only retrieve .vlx apps that are loaded - not those that have failed to load.

[dbroada]

that shows nil so at least we know nothing is being loaded.

 

this is not a serious problem in that I can't see it making any difference. Indeed, it is only if I press F2 that I am even aware of the load failure. It would just be nice to get rid of it.....

 

 

mmm, that worked - I wonder what it was....

[Lee Mac]

Could it be possible that some of the drawings were created using other software, like Civil or MEP? So some extensions that are expected to load, aren't being loaded?

 

Just a wild guess.

 

*good old WBLOCK trick*

[dbroada]

curiouser and curiouser......

 

WBLOCK entire drawing

open new drawing - no error message

saveas to overwrite existing file

open renamed file - error message returns

 

oh weel, just "one of those things" I guess

not by us, we have only ever had vanilla AutoCAD. There may be a few blocks pulled off suppliers web sites though.

I am getting the same error within my AutoCAD MEP 2012, however, Instead of coming up when I open a drawing the error msg is invoked during any of my own visual lisp commands. for example:

 

Command: bt
Default take-off <With Damper>VLISP: internal: Document application(.VLX) not 
found
Specify first point or specify [Damper/No damper]:
Point Does not Lie on an Object
Specify first point or specify [Damper/No damper]: _nea to Specify next 
point_per to VLISP: internal: Document application(.VLX) not foundDuplicate 
definition of block _ArchTick  ignored.
VLISP: internal: Document application(.VLX) not found

 

The error does not force my command to close it just repeats its self after each input as if it is expecting to load something.

 

Autodesk has no input on this error.

Fixed if the drawing is recovered using RECOVER command.

[dbroada]

good. I checked a few drawings yesterday and didn't see the eror but I thik it was just a couple that were triggering it anyway.

Check you support files paths and see if one points to a file that is missing if so delete that path
