andythoms Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 (edited) One of our users seems to have the problem of when either typing our shortcut to save or clicking the icon in the toolbar, the "unknown command" error appears. If they close AutoCAD and re-open, it works again but after a time the problem seems to reappear. We all use the same AutoCAD set up in here - AutoCAD 2008 - and all use the exact same LISP routines etc. and it seems to work for everyone else. Does anyone know why this would happen all of a sudden? Thanks Edited November 12, 2010 by andythoms additional information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Maybe those two commands are getting undefined somehow? If you type a period in front of the command does it work then? Ex: .open or .save Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andythoms Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 Right, it's happened again so we tried typing '.qsave' and it works! Thanks So how can we fix this? Do you know why the commands are becoming undefined? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkmcswain Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 So how can we fix this? Do you know why the commands are becoming undefined? Probably because there is some code (lisp, vba, arx, etc) executing which is undefining the command. Ask the person who manages all of the add-on code...

ReMark Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Maybe one of your coworkers has some secret code he isn't sharing with the rest of you. That could be the source of the problem. You're welcomed. Hope you find the actual cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andythoms Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately no-one in here wrote any of the routines and I'm about the one who know's the most (and that's not much!) so it'll be up to me to try and find the cause. The thing is that everybody uses the same routines so I can't figure out why it's happening on this machine and none of the others. We have about 15 running AutoCAD 2008 and about 5 running 2010. I suppose I should just upgrade everybody to 2010 - people don't seem to like change though! Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
