This exact situation is one of the reasons why I attempt to use unique names for any global variables I use.
All it takes is for code in a VLX or FAS that the user has no control over to use code as demonstrated with the same variable names as you and the whole lot falls down.


Agreed.  That's why I try to use unique names.  You never now when some (bozo) user might run some poorly written code that he/she downloaded from some forum some where. :)

How about using a protected namespace VLX.... there we don't have any problema.

There is only few cases when a release is needed on visual lisp code.

Agreed Luis. When referencing objects other than from the AutoCAD Object Model primarily.

Yep, like when you use vla-GetInterfaceObject, vlax-get-object, vlax-create-object ...

(ot: good idea to obscure your team support control).

Yep, just need to make sure the correct Document is referenced :)

I never learned how to do the protected namespace thing.  But it's time I learned.  What's the best way to get started?  I read the help files and they just made my eyes glaze over.

If you need help on that... let me know Steve.

I got the impression that ALL the help stuff from adesk was very clear......   :evil: [ahaaaaa]

Don't know if can be good idea to post code about that here... or it will be better to send you a code sample via PM... or.....

As far as release is concerned, is it only when you create an object or also when you do this?
Code: [Select]
(setq obj (vlax-ename->vla-object ename))that you need to release the object.

I gather that this code need no release?

Luis,

Thanks for the help.  Maybe we should start a new topic.  I'm sure others would be interested in knowing how to make protected name space files.
