    Default How to get error message text?

    We use a very old legacy program that interacts with AutoCAD. When we open a drawing through this program, it creates a script and a data file to update some information inside the drawing. Since AutoCAD 2017 something has changed and now the .scr extension is added twice to the script call. We get an error message and the script does not run.

    Capture.PNG

    Is this message stored somewhere that I can get it? If it is I can create a Lisp routine, trim the extra extension and run the script after the error is acknowledged.
    I am already doing It but I have to manually run the script. If I can get the file name from the error message I can automate this.

    I know how to make the Lisp routine but need help in retrieving the script name.

    Thank in advance.

    Try to search the codes that creates the *.scr file then trim the extra file format otherwise the program will not work with two format extensions.

    Do you know which program is doing this? Can you post it to this thread?

    The program is called Ultrapipe. It worked fine until AutoCAD 2017. I can deliberately create an error to show what the call from this program is, but I cannot change the call.

    The program makes the call and it looks fine. It already has the SCR extension. It looks like Windows adds the extension again causing the error. I cannot change the call and I don't know if and how I can change windows somehow to avoid the second extension being added.

    Assuming all Ultrapipe's customers are having the same issue wouldn't they be scrambling to fix it? Even if someone else were capable of modifying their software wouldn't that be illegal? Not sure what you're looking for here?

    In short, you can't fix the problem, nor can we. Ultrapipe has to do it. All you can do is rename the script like you've been doing. Apparently Siemens has this software. You need to contact them for support. Perhaps you need to upgrade.

    I'm not asking how to fix the problem or how to modify Ultrapipe. Read my first post.

    My question is if the error message about is stored somewhere and can be retrieved. If I can do this, I have a workaround to make it easy for the CAD technicians.

    Siemens is not fixing it so far. We have already contacted them.

    Their new software solution (PSAIM) is still not up to the task. We tried it and is still like a beta version with many problems.

    Yes. I lost access to my work account for a while and used an older personal account I had.
