Checkin user input

[devitg]

Normally I had work in lisp with fixed data , or a few USER´s Input.

Now I want to do things better.

 

From previous line I get a Variable with value

(setq cone-radious ( / perimeter pi 2))

 

Now I have to ask the user to pick a distance INSIDE de Cone-base, from the cone-base center , so I want to check if user pick outside the cone base, so the radious shall be

 

I make a intent , but it do not work

 

(while (> cone-radious (setq radious (getdist cone-apex " radious from apex"))))

 

I know it is a simple question , not to say it is almost STUPID , but I can not solve it.

 

Thank in advance

 

Gabriel.

(while (not (> cone-radious (setq radious (getdist cone-apex " \n>>>...radious from apex...>>>: "))))

(princ "\n>>>...Pick only inside the cone base...

)

Hi Wizman, sad to say it do not work

Maybe I{m doing some thing wrong .

I need to do a enter to get out the while , and neither if I pick inside or out side it work.

 

It work good , it was my mistake , I was on a 3d mode , and cursor change z , so I can never get a distance in the correct plane

 

.thanks
