Want to Learn OpenDCL
« on: July 09, 2008, 02:23:14 PM »
James

Gary, would you like to learn OpenDCL?  Would you like me to convert this or maybe a simpler project (easier for you to follow) to an OpenDCL form?

Just let me know - I'll be glad to help ...

Yes, thanks. Here is a simple routine to start off with. I have thrown in more code than necessary. Not enough time now to sift through it.
Command name is WEB

    Place the following files in your AutoCAD Support File Search Path:
        ARCH_WEB.vlx compiled routine   
        ARCH_WEB.arch editable text file
        ARCH_WEB.lisp editable text file
        ARCH_WEB.misc editable text file


Thanks again James

Gary

If not the one I posted, any simple routine will do.

Thanks

Why dont we start off with a Hello world application?

A hello world app that that will report env vars or something?

Ok, check this out -

This is the only file needed (ARCH_OPENDCL.lsp) besides the OpenDCL.arx and the URL list files. 

In the zip file there are three files:
ARCH.odcl - this is the file the openDCL editor uses to create and edit forms and controls.  Use the OpenDCL editor on the file.
ARCH.lsp - this file is generated by the OpenDCL editor to create a compiled version of the ARCH.odcl file.  This is read directly into AutoCAD.  The contents of the file are copied into the ARCH_OPENDCL file and loaded when the rest of the lisp is loaded.

ARCH_OPENDCL.lspp is the AutoLISP file that runs the whole show. Let me know if this easy enough to follow . . .

Sorry - did you download the OpenDCL.arx and put it in AutoCAD's search path?

I'll attach it here . . . what version of UatoCAD are you using?

Sorry Gary - it's working here.

When you type in (arx) are you sure OpenDCL.17.arx is in the list??

YEP, it's showing up

I am missing the sub routines called out in your lisp file.

That's wiered - they're defined in the OpenDCL.arx.  Any function named "dcl_" is defined in that arx.

I even used your copy of the arx file, and it is loaded. Double check it with appload and (arx)
It's there.

Yea, programming is such an exact science. One little character out of place & whamo!
It can be very frustrating at times.
