Here's a cheap and cheerful logging function. It saves entries to a monthly CSV text file for easy manipulation within a spreadsheet. 

Just add the line  (Lisp-Log "your Command Name") to the beginning of each routine.

Code: [Select]
(defun LISP-LOG (CMD / Path Adminpath Adminfile)
  (if (and (setq Path (getvar "TEMPPREFIX")) ; replace this path with a suitable network drive
   (setq Adminpath (strcat Path "Lisp-Log-File_" (menucmd (strcat "m=$(edtime,$(getvar," "date" ")," "MONYYYY" ")")) ".csv"))
   (if (findfile Adminpath) (setq Adminfile (open Adminpath "a"))(setq Adminfile (open Adminpath "w")))
      )
    (progn
      (write-line (strcase (strcat (getvar "LOGINNAME") "," CMD ","
(menucmd (strcat "m=$(edtime,$(getvar," "date" ")," "DDDD D MONTH YYYY H:MMam/pm" ")")) ","
(vl-string-translate "," "*" (strcat (getvar "dwgprefix")(getvar "dwgname"))))) Adminfile)
      (close Adminfile)
      T
    )
    (alert "Logging Error")
  )
)

vlr-lisp-reactor comes to mind.  :wink:

I never knew that reactor even exists  :lol:

Thanks Lee

Exactly :) ... I'll try to post what I have later ...

Great  :-D

Thank you for that Ron, you are too kind.

you would almost have to use the reactor in order to really log the routine usage, unless you only have one defun per file.  It depends on what you are looking for, if you want to just trace your routines, or see how much any routine is being used.

Great Topic

One Question, does the counter slow down the work significant?

I don't notice any speed differences.

Attached is a simple LISP usage logging routine, with data written daily to a CSV log file.

The program uses a LISP-reactor to automatically monitor LISP command usage, and will write data to the log file upon the user saving the drawing.

The program is set to run when loaded, so, to enable automatic LISP logging just set the program to load on startup (either using ACADDOC.lsp / StartupSuite).

You can enable or disable the logging by typing 'LispLogON' and 'LispLogOFF' respectively at the command-line.

Log Files are saved to the folder specified at the top of the code, this folder is created if not present.

Any questions, just ask.

I did something a bit low bro using
Code: [Select]
(defun c:MyRoutine()

(command "LOGFILEON")
; insert code here
(command "LOGFILEOFF")
)
In my routines. I had all of the users using the same profile so they all save to a log file directory on their individual hard drives.
I did try some logging systems before saving to a network storage folder but found it was crashing cad when publishing for a reason neither myself nor Autodesk could figure out why and abandoned.

It doesn't seem to log anything, I am not sure why though.

A few questions/statements:
  • The logs are only created when the drawing is saved (so that there is no loss in performance).
  • Do you know where the CSV files are being stored?
  • The routine will only log 'LISP' command usage, not all commands (as per the thread)
  • The routine will not log macros (as these are not LISP expressions).

Just as my time is running out, you serve up this awesome code. **sigh**
I + XI = X is true ...  ... if you change your perspective.

Logging is a good idea - should have thought about it sooner. What about something like this? It's been working successfully for a few days now.

You'll have to edit the folder path.

It doesn't seem to log anything, I am not sure why though.

A few questions/statements:
  • The logs are only created when the drawing is saved (so that there is no loss in performance).
  • Do you know where the CSV files are being stored?
  • The routine will only log 'LISP' command usage, not all commands (as per the thread)
  • The routine will not log macros (as these are not LISP expressions).
I didn't quite realize that it was only when drawings were being saved, that works now, thank you. I made a few tweaks, such as I want it all saved in one file for each month and to save the username with each command, but that didn't take too much to accomplish.

This will definitely help with figuring out who needs more training. I know some people are not using our LISP routines, which are there to make work much faster, I just haven't been able to figure out who is not using them.

Excellent to hear Chris, I'm glad the program is useful to you and that you were able to tailor it to your needs  :-)
