Topic: getting lost trying to use entmake

[MickB]

Hi, I am try to get my head around using entmake.

I thought i'd try to select two points and draw a line between them, here is the code i'm using

Code: [Select]

(defun c:drawLine ()
(initget 1)
    (Setq pSP (Getpoint "\nSelect Start Point : "))
(Setq pEP (Getpoint "\nSelect End Point : "))
 
  (entmake
list(
'(0 . "LINE")
'(100 . "AcDbEntity")
'(67 . 0)
'(8 . "0")
'(100 . "AcDbLine")
(cons 10 pSP) ;;Start Point
        (cons 11 pEP) ;;End point
    )
)
)
The error message I'm getting is:
"error: bad function: (0 . "LINE")"

Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong?

Thanks
Mick

Hi,

maybe a typo, use:

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]

1. (entmake (list ...))

instead of:

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]

1. (entmake list (...))
