alanjt Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Sounds like the error handler is attempting to set the cmdecho variable with a nil value. Can you post the code, or is that out of the question? If you can edit the code, just replace (setvar "CMDECHO" ) with (if (setvar "CMDECHO" )).

JohnM Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Typically when this happens it is a coding error in the lisp file. The lisp is being initialized and one of two things is happing 1.the lisp ran into an error and the error trap is being called but no values for the variable has been set. Or if there is no error trap then there is a bad line of code that refers to the variable in question. Either go back to the creator of the lisp and ask them to repair it of if you have permission and the lisp code post it here for help.

Lee Mac Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Make sure also that if the code includes: (defun *error* ... ) That the error function is localised: (defun c:<Something> ( / *error* ... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBox Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Obviously if Alan's advice works, then at least you have a workaround for your immediate work needs. However, be sure to also report the issue to the distributor, so that it is fixed in this, and future releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex B Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 Unfortunately, I have no access to the code. I was looking for a way to try to help them out, to help me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanjt Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Unfortunately, I have no access to the code. I was looking for a way to try to help them out, to help me out. How'd you install it? Or is it compiled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex B Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 It is downloaded from their website as a zip file, with an .exe for install. Then you have to add the installed folder to the "Support File Search Path" Then "MENULOAD" and load the custom toolbar. And then its magically suppose to work...

BlackBox Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Compiled LISP code would probably be in *.FAS, or *.VLX file extension. Other code languages might be in *.DVB (sp?), *.ARX, or *.DLL; there may be others I left off this list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell us more about 'the installed folder' ... what's in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just open the folder you have to 'add' and see what's there. You'll probably see a .LSP/.FAS./.VLX file. If you see LSP, you can make the edits, FAS/VLX and you'll have to talk to the developer - which you should do anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perfectpitcher22 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 (edited) cmdecho in tag line I think the reason for that is you're supplying an empty variable to a lisp function like (setvar "CMDECHO" oce) Does this occur during startup? If it does, then probably, there's an error somewhere in your autoloading lisp files, such as AcadDoc.lsp and Acad.mnl What happened is that loading the lisp function triggered an error but you hadn't called the event that set the 'oce' varible yet. _______________________ program errors Edited March 1, 2011 by perfectpitcher22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
