The problem is not the reactors is the layer palette :)

Ron,

Have you checked for any running reactors?

Like maybe worth just shooting a vlr-pers-list at the command line...

(vlr-pers-list) = NIL

Thanks for the suggestion Lee.

just did it on my wild guess... if i had a chance will do some quick test in objectarx, but no promises.


did you closed the palette? and ran any test and still you are getting the same message? - also will be good idea if you post some code

also, any luck about finding info about the error on the net?

LE!

>>just did it on my wild guess...
Got it now.

Thanks.


>>did you closed the palette?
Yes and no problem. The issue is when clicking on a layer name in the palette immediately after running the lisp routine.

>>and ran any test and still you are getting the same message?
Still same issue without any of my code loaded and running this to test:
Code: [Select]
(defun c:test (/ point) (setq point (getpoint))) >>- also will be good idea if you post some code

>>also, any luck about finding info about the error on the net?
Nope. :-(

Ahhh now I see, you run a routine with the Layer Palette on Autohide, the routine stays open unable to finish?
Perhaps closing and reopening the layer palette during the routine would help?
The layer palette is handy but really seems to eat serious resources with multiple files open or during layer commands being issued for my workstations. It may just not be able to post the data properly while it is cahced for the search filters in its running state?

ron,

i just got the chance to run a test here on a2009 - and yes it is the palette - or a bug - or the way they designed

two workarounds i found

1. have the palette on auto-hide
2. afert calling the lisp, make an implied selection - that looks like kills any active command
