Why would you not use the built in editor in ACAD, VLIDE?
good morning - sorry, that was a part of a diiferent thread. after I kind of mangled the original thoughts, I began again here.
I have left Windows and I am running Ubuntu, Maverick Meerkat. I love the OS, but there are things I have to do to make dear old Autocad run. I don't know you will share this experience, but the interface between Vlisp and Autocad - well, I am going to call it glitchy. BUT I SURE USED IT. I love the preview for DCL, but in the new setup, the preview forces me back to Autocad, and it fails to ever quite get there. Kind of like a lock up, but somehow I have almost always been able to get Vlisp shut down and start over.
I AM JUST ALMOST THERE WITH MY FIRST USEFUL DIALOG BOX, and I am trying to find better efficiency writing it. Testing the DCL from the command line is one possible workaround.
The routine draws window in elevation, and although I have set defaults to minimze editing, there are still lots of data to input every time. A dialog box will of course let me ignore the options that do not need correction.
How is the weather in sunny FL?
( or do I have my wires crossed about longitude and latitude )
