Topic: Routine not working, please help.

[Bhull1985]

I am having a tremendous amount of trouble having a simple slide image appearing in my dcl
I've tried everything I can think of and have not been able to get the image to preview or show at all
Even though I've got a direct path to it
and have seen this SAME CODE work in another routine, which is successful in having the slides preview.

I'm not even going to worry about the dynamic blocks portion that will be included into this lisp at some point, just right now I want my list_boxes to populate correctly as well as having the slide preview update with each selection
A challenge for a guru surely, but this is impossible for me. I've spent over 20 hours this week and haven't had one slide appear.
If someone would be so kind as to show me what i'm doing wrong I would GREATLY appreciate the chance to be able to MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS.

I am no guru but to I can help in getting your code to viewed easier by the other members.

Modify your post and paste your code between code tags

There it is
Some of the code is useless, i'm aware, but have been trying so many different things to get this to work...nothing works

[Krushert]

Okay couple of other suggestion.  For when I am debugging code, I sprinkle a couple of watches to local variables throughout the code and once the code has finished running,  I check to see the results to see if it meets my expectations. 

Sorry I got interrupted. 
First Are you sung vlide editor?  IF so you, you would highlight the variable > right click and select ADD WATCH.

[Bhull1985]

Yes I've been using the vlide quite a lot but I need someone who can tell me what i'm doing wrong in the code
thought I do appreciate your attentions, I need to find out what i'm doing incorrectly else i'll never learn the stuff nor have my slide preview

[CAB]

Got it to work, see attached.
Note that I commented out some code.
There is a problem with this

Code: [Select]

(updateimage (nth year blox) key)probably not creating the proper file name.

[Bhull1985]

You are the MAN!
Thanks so much, I'm going to look now..

[Bhull1985]

So In my action tile for "year" I should save the value of the tile and pass that back to the update image function?
That's where I believe the (atoi $value) would be necessary except that I keep getting a stringp error when it's passed back and attempts to fill the slide image using the "file" variable
I'm wondering how I can have the 3rd listbox pass it's value as a string back to the slide tile so that it can wipe and re-fill the slide tile each time an item in the 3rd list_box is selected.

[CAB]

The $value returned for year will be an index of the following:
("Angle Valve" "Angle Control Valve" "Flanged Angle Valve" "Flanged Angle Control Valve")
So your intent was to use a path :
"Y:\\bhull\\_Lispl3ox\\_Untestecl\\" plus "Angle Valve" plus ".sld"

Action "(slide \"sld\" (strcat path (nth (atoi $value) lst) \".sld\"))"
(atoi $value) -> 0
(nth 0 lst) ->  Filename.dwg
(strcat path (nth 0 lst) ".sld")  -> Filename.dwg.sld

[CAB]

So you need to create a list of sld files or strip off the ".dwg" if you have slides with names to match.

[Bhull1985]

Thank you CAB
Many 'kudos' for helping me with this, if only I could give them here

[CAB]

Glad to help.
I'm off for the week end but if you get stuck someone will step in.

[Bhull1985]

Hi, I haven't quite been able to get this working properly. I've been attempting to add a lot of code to a working routine by lee mac
There's this:

Code: [Select]

** Error: bad argument type: consp nil **That occurs when an item in the 2nd list box is the first user selection
And there's a problem stopping the slide preview which is supposed to operate off the final list box's selection and display a .sld preview


I just do not know how to construct a list of the slides that would make the value of the last selection in the 3rd list box display the correct slide, even though I do have the slides made and in a folder. The $value for the variable "year" (still from Lee's variable choices) will return an integer that will supply the (nth) function and pull from a list of slides, but there are over 100 slides and the $value variable will just be 1-10 because ten is the max amount of choices from any "model"(which populates the list that the user will select the slide (and later, block) from) and it's resultant list and 3rd list_box choices "year". Thusly ...i'm fearing it would only be able to return up to 10 slides from my slide list which should have over 100.
This is the issue that needs to be resolved with this routine if anyone has a suggestion please inform

[Bhull1985]

Would I need to wrap the slide variable setq in a conditional statement asking what "model" is?
Something like
(cond
(= model "Angle Valve")(setq lst "Angle Valve Vis1" "Angle Valve Vis2" "Angle Valve Vis3")
(= model "Backpressure Regulators")(setq lst "Backpressure Regulator Vis1" "Backpress Vis2....etc?

I will try it !
