Topic: Code in Vanilla not working in mechanical

[Luke]

I have the following code deep in a script...

Code: [Select]

(command "._explode" (entlast))
It works fin in full version vanilla 2006 but when I try to run it on our mechanical users machines it chokes and doesn't understand.

can anybody propose any alterntatives.

If there is an error message, what does it say?

[Luke]

It just tells me -nil but it happens right after that line so I'm able to identify that as the problem line.

What does (entlast) return?

[Luke]

it tells it to explode the last object inserted.

I think I figure it out though, I just put an * in front of the block I want exploded.  The * exploded it on insert

Some commands are different between verticals or versions of Autocad.

When certain commands (for example EXPLODE) are issued last in the Lisp routine, they may not behave as in a previous version.  The workaround is to add (initcommandversion 2) before the command is called.  Example:

Code: [Select]

(setq ss (ssget))
(sssetfirst ss ss)
(initcommandversion 2)
(command "_.explode")
