[Andrea]

if  I use this command...

(vl-cmdf "_.-dimstyle" "R" "iso-25")

why the textscreen is showed ??

and how can i run the command without showing the TEXTSCREEN ??

dont want to use always the "graphscr" command

Try using command and not vl-cmdf.

Read the following from the bottom up:

Yep, on this machine anyway. A2K2... Test1 doesn't go to text screen, test2
does....
(defun test1 ()
  (setq echo (getvar "cmdecho"))
  (setvar "cmdecho" 0)
  (if (tblsearch "dimstyle" "test")
    (command "-dimstyle" "save" "test" "Y")
    (command "-dimstyle" "save" "test")
    )
  (setvar "cmdecho" echo)
  (setq echo nil)
)
(defun test2 ()
  (if (tblsearch "dimstyle" "test")
    (command "-dimstyle" "save" "test" "Y")
    (command "-dimstyle" "save" "test")
    )
)

You'r the winner...

thanks.


also...can you help me with the ctrl+Tab post in this forum ??

A word of caution about using the "nomutt" sys var, if your program errors out and the nomutt var is not reset you will lose the word "command" from your command line.  This is only an annoyance not a problem.  All you have to do is reset the nomutt sys var.

it's ok ...it working without using nomutt...

this is my code..

(if (/= (strcase FC5) "NONE")
(progn
(setq echo (getvar "cmdecho"))
(setvar "cmdecho" 0)
(if (tblsearch "dimstyle" FC5)
(progn
(vl-cmdf "_.-dimstyle" "R" FC5)
(setvar "cmdecho" echo)
(setq echo nil)
))))
