Plot reactor to display message box

[Lee Mac]

Thanks NBC,

 

Updated, but untested (I have never used Publish).

Almost there Lee, how do I modify it so that PlotReactorOn is on by default ?

NBC,

 

You need to comment out the line with (defun c:*******) and the corresponding parenthesis at the end of the code or else you will get the error "extra right paren on input". Then when you autoload it in the acaddoc.lsp it will run on drawing startup.

Either I'm doing something wrong, or that doesn't work woodman

[woodman78]

and have you set it up in the acaddoc as (load "plotreactoron" "plotreactoron.lsp failed to load").

That is the way I have set it up and it works fine.

Please don't do this ^^...

 

NBC:

 

Just load the code in the ACADDOC.lsp and after the load call, add

 

(c:PlotReactorON)

Hence we have something like:

 

(load "PlotReactor.lsp" "Load Failed")
(if c:PlotReactorON (c:PlotReactorON))

Thanks ever so much Lee, that's just the ticket, you're a

I'm still such a noob with all kinds of programming stuff, sorry for all the questions which have probably obvious-ish answers for you

Not a problem NBC, I enjoyed writing this one - it was a lot different to the mainstream functions that people ask for so it got me to think a bit

Whilst doing some research on it, I somehow came across persistent reactors.

Best I say no more about those though eh:wink:

Tbh persistent reactors are best left alone - there isn't much you cannot do with transient reactors.
