dsibbo Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Hi Guys, Can anyone tell me why the STRIPMTEXT lisp no longer works. I've loaded it into my drawing through the APPLOAD command. I've executed the Stripmtext command but once I've select the settings I want and press OK I get this message This is the lisp StripMtext v5-0c.lsp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I just tested the StripMText lisp routine and it worked. For anyone interested in learning a little bit more about the routine follow this link....https://cadabyss.wordpress.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tharwat Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Copy and paste the following to your command line then run the StripMtext program. Will it work? (vl-load-com) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I could run the program without the need for that line. What's the difference between AutoCAD 2014 and 2017 that accounts for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tharwat Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 No difference but that error comes from Active-X functions when the library of functions hasn't been loaded in prior. vl-load-com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I see. OK. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsibbo Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 I copied the (vl-load-com) into the command line. executed that. (nothing happened) Then I run the Stripmtext command again but I get the same error message. This LISP always worked in earlier versions but with 2017 it hasn't worked.

ReMark Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Don't blame 2017. That's the version of AutoCAD I tested the lisp routine in yesterday and it worked just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tharwat Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I also agree with Remark is that the program has nothing to fail with in AutoCAD 2017. Confirmation: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsibbo Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 AutoCAD LISP https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/screencast/Main/Details/f748597a-d90e-42d8-a9f4-74f5691fa80d.html In that case does anyone have a solution at what may be causing the problem? I have downloaded a fresh copy of the LISP in case my one was corrupt but I still have the same issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombu Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 The error shown on your screen means (vl-load-com) has not been loaded. If you ran it before running StripMText then there's a problem with your visual lisp install. You can run basic lisp, but no visual lisp code without it. Sorry, Checked and (vl-load-com) is in StripMText so with a proper install you shouldn't even need to run it separately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) Actualmente uso el autocad 2021, y este lips no me funciona, alguno de ustedes me podría indicar si realmente es por la versión autocad Quote Translation...Currently I use the autocad 2021, and this lisp does not work for me, some of you could tell me if it really is for the autocad version Edited August 11, 2020 by SLW210 Translation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombu Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Due to the support of Unicode, StripMtext requires the LISPSYS sysvar to be set to 0 to work with A2021 (iow, keep the VLIDE as default IDE). http://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=55929.msg599417#msg599417 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troggarf Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I had this issue or something along the lines of this issue at my old employer... I was not able to use any VL or VLA Visual lisp code whenever I had a windows update and/or something was going on with our antivirus program. It would unregister the visual lisp component in my CAD. I entered many requests for support from Autodesk and they said that it was something on my end that was causing this and that the only way to "fix" it was to reinstall CAD. I was able to use pure AutoLISP but no visual lisp code. Are you able to use AutoLISP code yet couldn't use visual lisp programs? I hope that this isn't the case for you... ~Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 if you google missing (vl-load-com) or similar, load something like appload vl.....arx this loads the VL module the other way is that you Regedit as it has the incorrect detail for loading the Vl arx. Doing the reinstall resets these and normally fixes. Possible fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
