4 new AutoLISP functions in A2012
« on: August 24, 2011, 04:02:42 AM »
Hi,

Four new AutoLISP functions have been added to the A2012 versions as an alternative to the vlax functions which aren't available with the Mac version.

- dumpallproperties (vlax-dump-object).
- getpropertyvalue (vlax-get-property).
- ispropertyreadonly (vlax-property-available T).
- setpropertyvalue (vlax-put-property).

Read more here.

So, maybe AutoCAD for Mac have some intersting side effects  :evil:

Exciting indeed! Thanks for sharing!  :-)

Maybe LISP hasn't been forgotten after all, there is hope for us LISPers yet :lol:

I really hope so! Now if only they'd also give us the invoke methods & reactors, we'd be styling!

Anyone tried them on AEC objects yet?

I hope too they make AutoLISP growing...

But for now, IMO, these functions are only a way to write more concise and readable code than with entget and entmod but they are less powerfull.
For example the Normal property of a circle is read only when it can be changed with entmod...
