Topic: image command not working from lisp

[Cawaugh]

Maybe someone can explain why I can type in the commands in the code below but when I try to run the code,
it tells me that it cannot fine command image.

(command "-image" "Attach" "C:/Steves_Tiffs/somefilename.tiff" "0.00,0.00" "1" "0")

This is driving me nuts.  :ugly:
All I want to do is attach a tiff file for each of my drawings in a list.
I using AutoCAD 2006.

Any help would be appreciated.

I tried it here and it worked.

Worked for me too.
What is returned when you enter this at the command line?

Code: [Select]

(findfile "C:/Steves_Tiffs/somefilename.tiff")

[CAB]

OK, the tiff should be tif

[Cawaugh]

OK, the tiff should be tif

The file name in windows is marked .tiff. Anyway, for some reason it does find the file in a "find" but it still cannot recognize the "image" command from lisp.

Time to let it go and try tomorrow.

Thanks!

Someone else had this problem, .tif file & Acad2006 said the error was 'not supported file type' he had to resave the .tif file as a .gif
I guess the question is - Can you attach this .tif file manually, if not then problem with .tif, if yes then problem with Lisp?

sorry I couldn't be more help

[Strucmad]

And yes I'm aware that .tif & .tiff are supposed to be supported

[Cawaugh]

The goofy thing is, it works just fine with the tiff's I have IF I manually enter each command.
If I try it in a script or in lisp, no go. It's almost as if I need to first initialize "Raster" then I can run my program.
Maybe something will popup today. Thanks!

Close AutoCAD and restart??!?

I'm afraid that doesn't help. I am trying to run a batch of dwgs and adding tif's to them.
When the "image" or "-image" command is run from the code in the original post, it gives me
the error "Command: -image Unknown command "-IMAGE".  Press F1 for help."
But if I type it at the sommad line, it works.
Command: -image
?/Detach/Path/Reload/Unload/<Attach>:
Why would there be a difference?
Frustrating it is!

What about setting FILEDIA to 0 and trying IMAGEATTACH?  Does that work?

Disregard that.  Looks like the dialog box ALWAYS pops up when using IMAGEATTACH; even when filedia and cmddia are set to 0.


Just a shot in the dark, but what if you try _.-image instead of just -image?

[Cawaugh]

Same result. I'm going to check whether I need to initialize Raster fisrt before running the command.
It didn't seem to matter when I did it manually but I'm going to search it out anyway.

Later!

Worst case scenario?? - REPAIR

[Cawaugh]

 :-DI ended up figuring it out. We had the image command undefined and redefined to run another program.
Just for my situation, I redefined it again so I could run what I need and set it back to the previous setting before closing. Just wanted to close this out with a solution. Thanks everyone!

This would have fixed it then  .-image
