Topic: ACET... functions

[Lee Mac]

I am aware that quite a few of these "ACET-"... functions exist, but have no idea what they do as most are not documented in the ACAD help files.

Does anyone know where I can find information on such functions?

[It's Alive!]

I think those are for express tools,
I had always tried to stay away from those as they are not installed on some machines.

Thanks guys,

I use them rarely, but just wanted to know what was available to me if I need it   

Thanks for your time,

Lee

Do a search on your computer for acetutil.chm (help file). If it's not there. I could get it to you.

[Lee Mac]

I can't find that file Larry - but the link that ElpanovEvgeniy  provided is brillant

[Gliderider]

I think the link at Afralisp covers everything contained in the .chm file.

While I agree with the idea these functions should not be depended on, the fact they are typically installed since I'm not sure what version makes them compelling given no other chioce.

Example, the SwapText routine I posted recently makes good use of the acet-sys-shift-down function. Of course the routine checks for whether the function is available.

Just my two cents...

Speaking of "no other choice" did you dump the notion of rolling your own or using George Harrison's arx?

Here's a comprehensive list of the ACET Functions, albeit dated from around 2008'ish.

For purposes of compatibility I also avoid using them, however I must admit, I can never resist the "ACET-PROGRESS" functions for a rather sexy progress bar.

Michael,

If I knew how to roll my own I would. I don't.

What I have is the ExpressTools option, and appently some ARX by George Harrison which you mentioned, and an ARX by Luis which does the same thing with the shift key. Given these choices, I'd rather depend on ET than have to include a separate ARX routine/file.

Hola Jose.... George Harrison and me are the same persona

Edit: I just noticed that you don't want to have another dependency file for your program.
