3dwannab Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Hi all, I have a script taken from here which I've tweaked to get the count. (defun C:XREFCNT (/ i x) (setq i 0) (vlax-for x (vla-get-blocks (vla-get-ActiveDocument (vlax-get-acad-object)) ) (if (eq (vla-get-IsXref x) :vlax-true) (setq i (1+ i)) ) ) i ) XREFCNT returns the number in the commandline. How do I then do an alert, the code below doesn't work. It errors with: error: bad argument type: fixnump: # (if XREFCNT > 0) (alert (strcat "Number of External Reference Drawings = " (itoa (strcat XREFCNT))) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftertouch Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 The command XREFCNT is defined as '#'. Change this: (itoa (strcat XREFCNT)) To: (itoa (strcat (XREFCNT))) And change (defun C:XREFCNT (/ i x) To: (defun XREFCNT (/ i x) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3dwannab Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 Thanks to both of you. Here's the working code. (defun XREFCNT (/ i x) (setq i 0) (vlax-for x (vla-get-blocks (vla-get-ActiveDocument (vlax-get-acad-object)) ) (if (eq (vla-get-IsXref x) :vlax-true) (setq i (1+ i)) ) ) i ) ; SETS XREF PATHS TO "RELATIVE" IF IN DRAWING (if (> (setq c (XREFCNT)) 0) ; (alert (strcat "Number of External Reference Drawings = " (itoa c))) (command "-XREF" "T" "*" "R") ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 You can use C:xrefcnt but defun call has to match (c:xrefcnt) Is there a reason for IF to be outside the defun ? (defun c:XREFCNT2 (/ i x) (setq i 0) (vlax-for x (vla-get-blocks (vla-get-ActiveDocument (vlax-get-acad-object)) ) (if (eq (vla-get-IsXref x) :vlax-true) (setq i (1+ i)) ) ) (if (> i 0) (alert (strcat "Number of External Reference Drawings = " (rtos i 2 0))) (alert "No Xrefs") ) ) (c:XREFCNT2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dwannab Posted July 3, 2018 Author Share Posted July 3, 2018 Is there a reason for IF to be outside the defun ? Because I have this below to use the redir command. And I call it elsewhere in the startup script. (if (vl-string-search "company_name_here" (strcat(getvar 'dwgprefix))) (progn (if (> (setq c (XREFCNT)) 0) (Command ".script" "XRef_company_name_here_Paths_Fix.scr") ) (setq StyleSheet "company_name_here.ctb") ) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
