Thanks Crppiper You can't get much help without seeing the code that has a bug and giving more info on what exactly is generating the error ~'J'~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRPPIPER Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 Well I Tried To Insert The File In A Reply But Its Too Large, And I Tried To Copy /paste Text And Its Way Too Much... My Email Is justin.ronk@jvic.com, Send Me An Email And Ill Send It To You And Maybee Then You Can Help Me It Gives Me An "error Loading" In The Command Line After I Have Loaded It And Executed The Command. I Can Get To The Point Of Accually Inserting The Text Into The Dwg And That Is When I Get The Error Message... I Dont Have 2008 On My Computer, This Was Off Of Anothers Computer. I Have 2004 On Mine And It Works Fine...the File Is Located In A General Location Where I Can Access It On Any Computer In The Network So Its Not An Issue In Emailing...

Footpeg Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I Found A Lisp Program To Easlily Create 3dtext And It Works Great On My 2004 Autocad, But It Does Not Work On 2008! Any Suggestions On How To Fix It Or Where To Find One That Works On 2008? Search the lsp file for "AutoCAD.AcCmColor.16" in the set_TrueColor function and change the 16 to 17. Since, evidently, this is version dependent, you could change that line of code as follows: (setq vla_truecolor (vla-getinterfaceobject (vlax-get-acad-object) (strcat "AutoCAD.AcCmColor." (itoa (atoi (getvar "acadver")))))) I took a look at the code that fixo posted, and it's basically the same as what I did. It should work! If not, try reopening your drawing and try again. The problem you describe after thping "n" is not related to what fixo changed. Footpeg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRPPIPER Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 Well Thank Everyone That Helped... The Problem Has Been Fixed...all I Changed Was 16 To 17, And It Works... Accually We Are Running Mechanical 2008 And It Says Its "r17.1" So I Think I Should Change It To 17.1 But For Now I Am Leaving It At 17. Thank You Agian So Much... I Now Understand A Lil More About Lisp Files.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Werning Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Here is an updated version from the source. Should work with all versions of AutoCAD now. I also added a self-contained (no need for a .dcl file, the routine builds it in a temp folder on demand) custom text editing dialog so that later versions function similar to the earlier version with a true dialog (I didn’t like the dtext editor popping up in the corner where you have to hunt to find it). Let me know what you think. 3DText.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
