LAYCOL

[Efeezy]

I have had this scrip for years. I am running Autocad 2022 right now. I have been a mbemer on here for over 15 years I can not get in my old account Efeezy. Can someone fix this. I use it for my backgrounds. It cleanes everything up really fast. I run a script before this to change all the colors to red or what ever so evething I don't need stands out.   I am glad this site is still here.

Done. Please see your email for new login details.

It may be as simple as delete these lines at start. I did not look any further. Add (c:98) as last line then it will run when you load it.

the lines seperate the lips in my list. I am not sure why this code no longer works.  Ioaded it in Autocad 2022 

[nod684]

change this : 

("*EN-LITE-CIRC   . 160)

to this 

("*EN-LITE-CIRC"  . 160)

 

and if you want to keep this line 

ERROR WTF MAYBE MAKE NEW SCRIPT

-----------------------------------------------

LAYCOL

 

add a ;; before the line as bigal pointed out

;;ERROR WTF MAYBE MAKE NEW SCRIPT

;;LAYCOL

To add to this, if you had pasted the code into the VLIDE, the color coding is an easy indicator of the missing " since all the code at the end is color coded as a string.
