Studio/Dialog Editor / Re: decompiling AutoLISP code
Last post by owenwengerd - September 22, 2025, 10:03:37 AM
That is not AutoLISP code, that is an .odcl project in plain text form. All you can do with that .odcl project is open/edit it in the OpenDCL editor.

Can someone show me how to decompile the code below:

Thankyou very much for any help.

Hey Owen, how 'bout them Bucs?

OK all kidding aside:

I want to de-compile all my .lsp and .odcl.  I've started my own business and want to have access to all my AutoLISP and OpenDCL programs.  I'm going to be making changes and need to see all the readable code.  Can you give me the process of changing the compiled code to readable text?

I would really appreciate it. 

If you get a chance to go to Ybor look up 2405 E 8th Ave.  The zoning in Ybor is very strict: no metal buildings allowed . . ..

Studio/Dialog Editor / Creating a menu-structure with...
Last post by Peter2 - September 11, 2025, 03:07:19 AM
For the tools in my company I have the problem that ..
- my package of lisp tools is dynamically increasing
- we use Bricscad and Autocad
- some users uses ribbons, other pulldown menu
- for tooltips and extended help Brics and Acad have different features ...
- some tools are not used often, but then again and again..

So the result is that my menu / my menus are never up to date and I'm thinking about an ODCL solution which offers many features.

But - there are many ways to offer a dialog with many commands:
- tree
- tabs
- palettes
- buttons
- and a free combination of them all together

Are there any recommendations or examples or (bad) experiences with this topic?

What have you used? And why?

Thanks and have a good time!
Peter

The mentioned submenus don't exist, so I don't think there is anything wrong with your installation.

Studio/Dialog Editor / Serious UI Failure in OpenDCL ...
Last post by dukeNukem - September 09, 2025, 07:14:57 PM
Hello everyone,

I'm new to OpenDCL and I'm having a very strange issue with my installation. The OpenDCL Studio interface is not displaying correctly, which is preventing me from getting started.

**The Problem:**
Key menu items are completely missing.
1.  In the "Tools" menu, the "Options..." item is missing.
2.  In the "File > New" menu, the "Project" option is missing, so I cannot create a new project.

**My System Information:**
- Operating System: Windows 11
- AutoCAD Version: AutoCAD 2020 (English)
- OpenDCL Version: 9.3.1.1

**What I've already tried without success:**
- A complete uninstall of OpenDCL.
- Rebooting the PC after uninstalling.
- Reinstalling the software.
- I have tried this with both the Spanish (ESM) installer and the main English installer.

In all cases, the result is exactly the same. I have attached screenshots showing the missing menu items.

Has anyone seen this fundamental issue before or have any ideas what might be causing this conflict on my system?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Runtime/AutoLISP / Problem with Control Bar in Z...
Last post by velasquez - August 17, 2025, 12:24:27 PM
When I click the "X" to close the Control Bar if it's not docked, it no longer displays when called again, and it also crashes ZWCAD when the "QUIT" command is executed.
None of this happens if the Control Bar is docked.
I can't work around this issue.

It's important to note that this also happens with the OpenDCL Samples Palette.
