Topic: 2014 Command Line

[hermanm]

Truncates AutoLISP prompts.
First glance, appears to hose final 5 characters.
Command line is docked, & is the width of the (30") monitor.
CL prompts from native ACAD commands are unaffected.
Any suggestions?

hehehehe

he said 'R14'

Does it truncate all your prompts ?
I use a floating command line about 30 characters wide and have no issues ...

I think you have to change the variable CLIPROMPTUPDATE.

No, has no effect.
Installed SP1. No joy.

@ Kerry:
OK, showing my age.
Since you are not seeing the anomaly, suggests configuration issue, as opposed to fundamental defect.
Thx. for feedback.

Believe I have this sorted.
Appears (getstring) prompt string must end with a "space" character, otherwise prompt is truncated at the first preceding space character.

Thus,

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]

1.  (defun C:Test ()
2.   (getstring (strcat "\nFoo" " bar" " spong"))
3.   (princ)
4.  )
5.  

Gets truncated (command line only, not textscreen) to "Foo bar"
Which did not happen in ACAD 2012.

Whereas,

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]

1.  (defun C:Test ()
2.   (getstring (strcat "\nFoo" " bar" " spong "))
3.   (princ)
4.  )
5.  

Prints "Foo bar spong "

Can anyone else confirm this anomaly?
