F: or C:
« on: September 30, 2003, 09:40:04 PM »
Can someone please give me a general explination of the difference between what f: and c: does? I notice that the f: only works when I have LDD loaded. Just curious.

The way I understand it is you can put any letter before :. But, if anybody has more info on the matter, I'd like to know, too. Thanks.

(defun C: or I: or F: or nothing ()...)

I'm thinking that.

Or the way Bell does it:
Code: [Select]
(defun ax:BuildFilter (filter)
  (vl-load-com)
  (mapcar '(lambda (lst typ)
    (vlax-make-variant
      (vlax-safearray-fill
(vlax-make-safearray
  typ
  (cons 0
(1- (length lst))
  )
)
lst
      )
    )
  )
 (list (mapcar 'car filter) (mapcar 'cdr filter))
 (list vlax-vbInteger vlax-vbVariant)
  )
)

Dude, there is no "F" prefix. The "C" prefix is of-course the one that makes the function an autocad command.

Alot of people put prefixes on thier functions. (Mark and i do it when we work on a program together so we can tell who made a function.) for reference type of thing. But i know of NO "f" prefix.

Okay, so it's just a way to put a signature on a function. It does nothing for the function like c: does, huh?

Yes but.......
Code: [Select]
Command: (f:adcmds 22)
There are no alignments defined.
Command: adcmds
Unknown command "ADCMDS"


the f:adcmds is no different that say mst-adcmds, it's just the name of the function.

if you look in <LDD installed folder>\Land you will see many .lsp files, at least 76 of those use F: in their function name.

I was just getting confused as to why this would be used rather that just the c:. And for some reason, mst-adcmds does not work on mine.

That's because you probably don't have that MarkSThomas-function.
