I've recently been getting into Lisp with AutoCAD2006 with some success, however the following routine is giving me a headache. It should draw a simple array of vertical lines 100 high at 25 unit intervals, it works fine but after a few test runs it starts doing funny things, missing every other line...missing lots of random lines or even spuriously joining lines to nearby objects. All very strange - have you any ideas why it might be happening? (defun c:SPR () (setq leng (getint "Enter Length of Section in Metres:")) (setq sectionstart (getpoint "\nPick Insertion point:")) (setq aa (car sectionstart)) (setq bb (cadr sectionstart)) (setq rptn (+ 1 (fix (/ leng 25)))) (command "line" (list (+ aa leng) bb) (list (+ aa leng) (+ bb 100)) "") ; Repeat loop starts here (repeat rptn (command "line" (list aa bb) (list aa (+ bb 100) ) "") (setq aa (+ aa 25)) ) ; Repeat loop stops here ) |

Sounds like a common problem, for people learning Lisp... You have a running Osnap set, so line snaps to an endpoint rather than the desired coordinate. It's erratic because it depends on the zoom level/pickbox size. |

That's great - problem solved with the use of OSMODE. Thanks.  |
