    Default Converting older lisp files

    I have a lisp file that worked fine in AutoCAD 200 through 2006. Now that we have upgraded to 2007, it no longer works. I have tried creating a vlx with it's dcl file, but I am still getting errors.

    The file was originally done by "Terrible Software", and included as part of an automation package my firm purchased.

    Thanks for any help, and let me know if additional information is required.

    Are these files included within your Support File Search Path?
    If you have a technical question, please find the appropriate forum and ask it there.
    You will get a quicker response from your fellow AUGI members than if you sent it to me via a PM or email.

    Yes. The problem also occurs when I load the lisp file manually. I have included the DCL file this time.

    I downloaded both files and it works fine.

    You do have a variable named "substr" in two places that needs to be renamed, but this won't prevent it from running.

    What problem are you having?

    Default Re: Converting older lisp files

    After I select an object, I get "ERROR: bad argument type: stringp nil". After making a VLX application with the editor, and I did inlcude the dcl file, I got a box on the screen saying "Assignment to protected symbol: SUBSTR Enter break loop?" with selections for "Yes" and "No".

    While I have done some modest lisp programming, this goes way beyond me. Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks CAB. I was packing up at the time and didn't have time to correct and save. Did you fix anything other than the SUBSTR problems?

    I added a findfile ILO a global variable that may or may not be a problem.
