Topic: visual lisp crash calling (command "draworder")

No, it just says ; error: bad argument type: VLA-OBJECT

I tried loading your code, and modifying your catch all apply function as follows:

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]

1. (defun LM:CatchApply ( _function _params / result )
2.     (if (not (vl-catch-all-error-p (setq result (vl-catch-all-apply _function _params))))
3.         result
4.         (progn (princ result) (princ))
5.     )
6. )

...same result

And yes, dict receives a value <VLA-OBJECT IAcadDictionary 0bbc89a4>

Test with your routines:

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]

1. (LM:MoveToTop (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object)) (ssget))
2. #<%catch-all-apply-error%>
3. ; error: bad argument type: VLA-OBJECT

might want to give it a try to this function:  VxSetDrawOrder - from one of the old masters in the lispy world...

Interesting - the same command fails

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]

1. (vla-AddObject ExtDic "ACAD_SORTENTS" "AcDbSortentsTable")

but with a different error message

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]

1. error: Automation Error. AcRxClassName entry is not in the system registry

Which version of ACad are you using? Or do you use some clone instead? It sounds as if the ActiveX libraries weren't registered on your system. If ACad see if a repair install solves this.

'VxSetDrawOrder' is tested with all Acad versions 2k5 - 2k12,
and 2k13 also...

Cheers

Must be my version of autocad then.  It's a direct link autodesk sent me after I complained the 2010 download was broken.

The error means that the clas sname is not registered, which means the .arx module is not loaded. Does the DRAWORDER command work? If so, use it to demand load the module before attempting to use it. If not, check your DEMANDLOAD system variable setting.

Otherwise, call this in your routine:

Code: [Select]

(if (not (member "acdorder.arx" (arx)))
    (arxload "acdorder.arx" nil)
)
