explode "all" doesn't work!!!!

[alijahed]

Hi All,

 

Seriously confused!!

 

I wrote this:

 

(defun c:test ()

(command "purge" "_all" "" "_no")

;Insert the first Block

 

(setq blk "circle")

(setq cord (list 50. 0. 0.))

(command "_insert" blk cord 1. 1. 0.)

 

;Insert the second Block

(setq blk "rectangle")

(setq cord (list 0. 0. 0.))

(command "_insert" blk cord 1. 1. 0.)

 

(command "explode" "_all")

 

)

 

But surprisingly the explode "all" just explode the first item!!!

by using the "explode" command on the command line you can explode the rectangle later manually!

How can I fix this problem?!

 

 

Cheers

For compatibility with old AutoCAD releases, the EXPLODE command accept only one item when used trough AutoLISP - set QAFLAGS system variable to 1 to force it to accept more than on item. Regarding "_all" option try to use SSGET statement instead.

 

(setvar "QAFLAGS" 1)
(command "._EXPLODE" (ssget "_X") "")
(setvar "QAFLAGS" 0)

Hello Mr. msasu,

May I ask you about the meaning of the above variable you used

earlier ..... Please ?

I looked for it with Autocad help but with no result ...

The QAFLAGS is one undocumented system variable of AutoCAD; below you can find a definition of it:

 

"QAFLAGS system variable controls internal functions, it accepts a value between 0 and 32767 (sum of values):

bit 0 (1): ^C in menu macro cancels grips (acts like keyboard ).

bit 1 (2): no pause during text screen listings.

bit 2 (4): no "alert" dialogs (text display instead).

bit 7 (128): accepts "screen picks" (point lists) via (command) function."

 

I suggest you to ensure that it is always keept as 0.

Thats wonderful Mr.msasu.

 

And as I noticed that the value of (1) would behave in behalf of Cancel in

Macros. But in Macro used twice .

 

And it used one time with the 'setvar' and as you know some Autocad command sometimes need to press tow times to escape .

 

Are they behaving the same as a double of escapes . . . ?

 

Thanks for your great cooperation ..

Best Regards.

@tharwat313: Not sure what you mean, but I presume that is about the way QAFLAGS system variable is interacting with EXPLODE command. Sincerely, I don’t know the mechanism; all that I know is that by setting it on 0 will force the command to accept multiple entities.
