Drawing1.scr Cant find file

[Demtor]

Dear CADTutor members!

 

I am doing some project in school and now when all the analysis is done I have to import it to autoCAD. So I made 3 scripts and try to load them using SCRIPT command. Than I go and select my script and press "Open" . I get error "Drawing1.scr Cant find file" I am not sure what the problem is, I am sure file is there, it has its name and it should work.

 

Thank you for your time,

Aleks

Did you include the FULL path to the file?

Drag & drop into drawing area

Should always post your code so we can see whats wrong if you have a space in the file name this can cause the script to stop.

You included a path to a certain file in your script? Then you should pay attention that need to use quotes if the said path include spaces:

”C:\My Acad Drawing\12345 - Current Project\Drawing.DWG”

I am sure that I use the correct path to the file and also I tried to drag it on workspace. That didn't help, I still get the same error. I upload my scripts here maybe something wrong with them. Basicly they are just roadbed drawings in simple way.

tee2.scr

Ok here they are!

tee means road in estonian. 1 - 3 are indexes of 3 different scripts. They all must be on one CAD worksheet

 

P.S I tried AutoCAD 2011 and 2012 , both are students version!

tee3.scr

tee1.scr

Why the 2 blank lines at the start of each? That would be like pressing the ENTER key twice (i.e. redo last command & default its option). This might be why it's not finding the Drawing1.SCR file:

 

The 1st blank line starts the SCRIPT command (again).

The 2nd blank line Enters to accept the default script name ... i.e. .SCR. In your case a new drawing called Drawing1.DWG. Can't find file, so there's an error.

 

Also be careful with those other blank lines in your scripts. I can understand the one directly after the sequence of a continuous line drawn (i.e. stop the line command), but I'm not sure you're going to get the correct results with a splattering of blank lines in between text calls. The SCR file contains LITERALLY the keystrokes you'd have typed to create those entities, so a new line is an ENTER, a space is a SPACEBAR, etc.

Okay those empty spaces fixed my problem with that error, but now it seems the content is a mess. Now I will have to try and fix it.

 

P.S THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP!

[irneb]

You're welcome.

 

Another thing I've noticed: The content for text seems to assume that your current text style has a preset height, that might also cause some errors with a style with preset height=0.

 

BTW, from where are you getting these SCR files? I'm nearly sure no-one would type all that manually, is it something generated by a program?

[Demtor]

Those come from Excel. I did first part of the work there , calculated all roadbed sizes etc and imported it to Notepad.
