Topic: trouble with burst in a lisp

[AVCAD]

I am tring to write a routine that includes the Burst command, but I can not get it to run.

I tried using

(command "c:burst" "all" "")

and

(command "burst" "all" "")

Any help with thi swould be great.

Thanks!

You can only call (C:BURST) and then select all manually. The selection function and the actual "bursting" function are declared local to C:BURST and can't be accessed without a .. ahem .. m-o-d-i-f-i-c-a-t-i-o-n

So, to answer your post:

(C:BURST)

Ok thanks, I will play around with that one.

I had another question though....I have other Lisp routines I wan tto run in this one.

How do I load a Lsp file within one and then run it.

I tryied the...

(command "(load LFD.lsp)" "lfd")

This is the code I use in my macro's (buttons) but I want to run this form a LISP file, sort of a master routine that will run everything at once.

If lfd is a non-command function:

(if (load "LFD.lsp" nil) (lfd))

If lfd is defined as a command:

(if (load "LFD.lsp" nil) (C:lfd))

*edited*: ^this only works if someone didn't put a nil-returning expression at the end of the lisp file. E.g. (prompt "Type LFD to run") will return nil and cause the expressions above to exit with nil.
