Runtime/AutoLISP / Re: Supported CAD platforms

ZWCAD and GstarCAD are also supported, although both of those have incomplete functionality.

Runtime/AutoLISP / Supported CAD platforms

« Last post by Rakesh Rao on May 06, 2021, 11:14:37 PM »

Dear Support,

I have installed OpenDCL for AutoCAD and BricsCAD.

Are there any more CAD platforms supported? I am interested to know about ZWCAD and ARES Commander support?

Is it available?

Best Regards

Runtime/AutoLISP / Re: (command) in Modeless dialogs

« Last post by owenwengerd on April 25, 2021, 06:24:42 AM »

The (command) function can only run from an existing command context. The usual solution is to create a wrapper command and run it asynchronously by calling (dcl-SendString "MyCommand\n"); or to set the form's 'Event Invoke' property to asynchronous so the event handler itself runs in command context.

Runtime/AutoLISP / (command) in Modeless dialogs

« Last post by Rakesh Rao on April 23, 2021, 12:40:00 AM »

Dear Support,

Is it possible to use the (command...) function to call an AutoCAD (or BricsCAD) command while a modeless dialog is running. A quick cjeck and it appeared not to work. Is there any setting which would make it work?

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards

I recall that Fred Tomke posted a solution for this in the past, but I didn't find it in a quick search.

I think the best you can do is to Ctrl-A to select all from the modeless dialog, then Ctrl-C to copy to clipboard, create a new modal dialog of the same or similar size, then Ctrl-V to paste.

Runtime/AutoLISP / ENTER on a text box closes the dialog

« Last post by Rakesh Rao on April 12, 2021, 07:40:38 AM »

Dear Support,

I created a modeless dialog and if I enter a value within a text box and hit ENTER, the dialog box closes. If I press the TAB key, it works as expected.

How do I prevent an ENTER from exiting the dialog box.
