I appreciate that LE but I really wanted to see the code so I could see how you were able to get that to work. :mrgreen:

Did you tested?.... and it is close to what you where looking for?

Can you implement a similar system using the new dynamic blocks and or with fields?...

Yes I tested it.  I'm not sure if I like it or not.  It will take a little getting used to.

No I don't think so.

What I meant by my earlier comment about the code was that you sent me a fas file which I can't read and I really wanted to look at your code.

That is what I use for my projects, and it is very simple.

I tried to post [actually did] about vlisp reactors and I do not saw/see any interest at all, anyway I decided then to simple post compiled code and maybe I will post some sample code open.... sometimes.

Have fun,
Luis

Luis,
I see you have a lot of experience with reactors so let me ask you.
I have read that reactors in lisp were unreliable and that they cause
delays in the drawing environment. This is why I have avoided them.

Is the reliability issue a function of how well the routines were written?
Do they cause noticeable slow downs in drawings with reactors?

Thanks

In my experience reactors aren't the problem per se, but the inexperienced use of them and the fact that so many hands can pen them. I use them very stringently and sparingly, implementing them so that they process what they gotta do quickly and then exit pronto so they don't affect normal processing speed. But for general programming? IMO they are a last resort to be considered after non event based solutions have been exhausted.

I have studied them a lot, and implemented since vital lisp, I don't use them as I use to in the past, lately I simple have some routines, for very specific tasks.

Rectors/events are not for everything....
