Title: More beta testing
Post by: Mark on December 12, 2003, 11:57:08 AM
Since you all are such good beta testers have you got the time for one more? This program is harmless, however same rules apply when testing new apps, open in a non-productive dwg. Same as the last one, just drag-n-drop into ACAD or however you load them, it will start itself. This program D/L's a file from TheSwamp and gives you an alert box. Nothing special, you'll see.

Thank you very much.

Can I ask you this...I loaded the program into a junk production file and got the above. However, when I loaded it into a completely new session, nothing came up...WHY??? I only had one session of CAD open.

I did all the same and got all the same. I think the answer lies somewhere in here. (http://www.theswamp.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=397)

Craig - That's one of the benifits of being a governmental employee. :) Well it doesn't match any hex/dec/bin/or oct entries in any of my registry...maybe there is some larger force at work here????

What do you mean "a non-productive file"?  ALL my files are non-productive!

Same as all above......

If Mark can do it....why can't I???

Please make sure you save your work first. Always best to be safe rather than sorry.

(RUG-TEST) (http://theswamp.org/lilly.pond/rugaroo/RUG-TEST.VLX)

Thats the command too....

Ahhhhh man...got my hopes up and all I do is fail...back to the design stage for me :)


All well...I will be the nice guy here, and let you all try and find ways to tweak this one...

Code: [Select]
(DEFUN RUG-TEST (/ cmd)
  (SETQ cmd (GETVAR "cmdecho"))
  (ALERT "\nAttempting to do your work for you...")
  (ALERT "\nPlease click OK to continue.")
  (SETVAR "cmdecho" 0)
  (command "-layer" "s" "0" "")
  (princ "\n")
  (princ)
  (COMMAND "-layer" "off" "*" "y" "")
  (ALERT "\nAutocad failed to do your work for you.")
  (ALERT "\nNow get back to work you lazy person!")
  (ALERT
    "\nAutocad failed to save any of you work. Now exiting."
  )
  (SETVAR "cmdecho" cmd)
  (COMMAND "quit" "y")
  (PRINC)
)


Pretty lame, but you'd be suprised how well it works on newbies.  :twisted:

Hey I already have a button that does almost the same thing

Buttons are too much of a hassel...better to make the user try to remember all of the key on the keboard first...People have to remember that not everything can be done with a mouse, and if you are really 'anal retentive' then nothing is done with the mouse. :)
