    Question Alert Boxes

    Hi, well I thought I know my stuff pretty well. I use alert boxes in a number of my lisp routines, Just today my alert box stopped showing up. The results of the alert will echo to the command prompt but the actual alert box does not show up. Filedia, Cmdecho, Cmddia are set appropiately. Never happened in all my years. Thanks for any advice.

    Default Re: Alert Boxes

    Check the system variable QAFLAGS, if set to 4 Alerts will display at the command prompt.
    Setting it to the default of 0 should fix it.

    It affects a lot of commands so if you're using it in lisp routines it's best to reset it to 0 on exit or error.

    This worked, thank you so much, it makes sense now. I am working on some new routines and wouldn't have known this, however, to save time I did go online and try to pull some parts out of other routines. I am self taught at lisp and vla concepts so it would have taken me forever to trouble shoot this one. Thank you again and great skill.
