madriver Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Out of the blue a LISP routine is not loading correctly. I get an error message (before I re-load file) that there is a problem with ACAD.dce file. When I re-load the routine it gives me a message that there is a problem with the dialog file (redefining object) Now, I did recently refine my search paths. All other routines seem to load fine and are without problems. Any thoughts? Quote
Lee Mac Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 I get an error message (before I re-load file) that there is a problem with ACAD.dce file. Are you sure that the received error message states that there is a "problem with the acad.dce" and not a message along the lines of "See acad.dce for details." The reason I ask is that the acad.dce file is an error log file that is automatically generated in the current working directory by AutoCAD when a DCL file with one or more semantic errors is encountered. The acad.dce log file then provides information concerning the errors found in the DCL file. Quote
madriver Posted October 16, 2012 Author Posted October 16, 2012 here is the error from the .dce file. (thank You) ===== DCL semantic audit of dimnote.dcl ====== Error. Widget named "ok_cancel" is undefined. Error in "dimnote". (widget type = ** undefined **, key = "") Widgets of this type cannot have children. Error. Widget named "errtile" is undefined. Error. Widget named "radio_column" is undefined. I have never had a problem with this routine before. Why would this be a problem out of the blue? Quote
MSasu Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 It is possible that you lost the path for acad.dcl file? Please try this line of code on prompter: (findfile "acad.dcl") If it doesn't return nil, then please post the DCL code from that trouble-maker file. Quote
madriver Posted October 16, 2012 Author Posted October 16, 2012 it does return "nil". However, I think you are on the right track as I have revised my search paths recently. I will try and restore some of my revisions and see if that resolves the iissue. Thank You Quote
MSasu Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 You should avoid to remove default entries (that it, those that come from original installation) from Support File Search Path list as this may affect other features too. Quote
madriver Posted October 16, 2012 Author Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) is there a list of the original entries that I can compare my revised paths to and or restore original? Edited October 16, 2012 by madriver Quote
wishbonesr Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Search paths are different per installation/OS/version/vertical. First save your current profile to a file by exporting it (just in case a mistake is made). Start a new profile in the profile manager tab, and Set Current. Then choose Reset. Your Files tab should now have the default search paths for your rig. Quote
madriver Posted October 16, 2012 Author Posted October 16, 2012 you sir are a most educated and wise sage. Many thanks as all is now well. I see the error of my ways. All the best Bob Quote
