Localized AutoCAD – translated features

[MSasu]

I’m trying to ensure that a bunch of routines are fully localized version proof – so far I’m aware of below translated features:

 

- names of built-in commands

(command "_LINE"

 

- options of built-in commands

(command "_ARC" "_C"

 

- selection methods for SSGET statements

(ssget "_X")

 

- built-in linetypes (excepting CONTINUOUS)

 

There are some other "translations" that should be taken into consideration? Thank you.

For built in commands, I would advise using "_." eg,

 

(command "_.ARC" "_C"

 

To make sure that the default command definition is used, in case the ARC command has been redefined.

Good point! Thanks again, Lee!

 

So, there aren’t other features to take into consideration for a fully proof tool regarding localized features?

You're welcome The only other one that comes to mind at the minute is through initget in getkword calls.

You are right, but this should be taken into consideration only when translate also the interface of the routine. If is about an English interfaced tool that have to be used on a non-English AutoCAD environment the INITGET statements go un-affected.

I was concerned about features that may cause AutoLISP routine / AutoCAD to crash.

Ok, just making sure you were aware
