acad.pgp being overridden by TEXTEDIT

[Tom Beauford]

As you can see setting c:LK == nil does not restore the original LK alias. Where this breaks logic to my mind, is it's one thing for LISP to overwrite a value, but even if one performs a REINIT to reload PGP, the LK alias is never restored (where I think it should, so long as c:* prefixed equivalent for any alias in PGP should be overwritten if == nil, IMO.

It would be nice to have an undefun function in lisp that would restore the original LK alias, but previous definitions are not stored anywhere. Anything you set to nil remains nil in that drawing till it's closed and reopened. So LK alias will be restored then. The nice thing about the limits placed on lisp is that it makes learning it safer. For most simple code if it didn't work correctly when tested you could always close and reopen the drawing then try again. Not many types of code are that forgiving.

Could it be the AutoComplete function kicking in? Scripts may be exempt (or run fast enough to avoid triggering the AutoComplete), but I know it takes a while after a new installation before I use the FILLET command enough to have that rise to the top of the list when typing just F and expecting the command alias to give me FILLET. When AutoComplete was first introduced, I inadvertently ran the FASTSEL command more times than I care to remember.

I do not believe so, as the bottom of the command line output I posted here states:

; error: no function definition: C:LK"

... It hasn't failed to find the original assignment of LAYLCK, it's still looking for the earlier LISP Defun.

I meant for the original poster, who may not have an AutoLISP routine C:T that runs the TEXTEDIT command.
