Can anyone tell me why I'm getting this error on just a simple lisp?
Command: KA
Unknown command "F". Press F1 for help.
Unknown command "*KEYPLAN|*PATT-*". Press F1 for help.
Unknown command "KA". Press F1 for help.
Unknown command "F". Press F1 for help.
Unknown command "X*|S-GRID*MAT**". Press F1 for help.
Unknown command "KA". Press F1 for help.
Unknown command "T". Press F1 for help.
Unknown command "*KEYPLAN|*PATT-A". Press F1 for help.
Unknown command "KA". Press F1 for help.

Unknown command "KA". Press F1 for help.
Unknown command "T". Press F1 for help.
Unknown command "*KEYPLAN|*PATT-NOTE". Press F1 for help.

THIS IS THE CODE FOR KA.LSP

(defun c:KA ()
(command "layer" "f" "*keyplan|*patt-*" "")
(command "layer" "f" "X*|s-grid*mat**" "")

I'm not an expert on LISP code (yet), but from what I can tell, your code looks fine.
Are you sure the routine is being loaded?

I loaded and executed the code you pasted on my system and the only errors I get are "No matching layer names found", which was expected. I suggest verifying that your code is loaded.
Good Luck!!

Just another thought, but I was looking at your code and noticing that it is calling the layer command 5 times when it could be calling it once. I'm not sure if you have a reason for that, but I do know that it is more efficient to open with the LAYER command, process everything, then close it. Here is a more efficient version of your code (for anyone interested):
(defun c:KA ()
(command "layer"
"f" "*keyplan|*patt-*"
"f" "X*|s-grid*mat**"
"T" "*keyplan|*patt-A"
"T" "X*|s-grid*mat*-A"
"T" "*keyplan|*patt-NOTE" "")

You didn't redefine the layer command did you?

When I type in "layer" it pulls up the layer dialogue box.
It's killing me that my lisp routine is not working!!! Sorry, just a little frustrated. Hopefully someone had the same problem and could help me.

just out of curiosity, have you tried using "-LAYER"?

Also, have you tried entering each line directly into the command line to see if you get the same error? For instance:
Command: (command "layer" "f" "*keyplan|*patt-*" "") |

Thanks - that was from my old days. I guess I never really noticed it.

This is what I got...
Command: (command "layer" "f" "*keyplan|*patt-*" "")
Unknown command "F". Press F1 for help.
Unknown command "*KEYPLAN|*PATT-*". Press F1 for help.
nil
Do you suppose the autocad utility is not being loaded..?? Like acaddoc.lsp, etc..??
