Studio/Dialog Editor / Re: decompiling OpenDCL AutoLI...

Last post by jbuzbee - July 17, 2025, 05:07:02 AM

Well the count is 151 AutoLISP programs with more than half use OpenDCL for creating Dialogs.

Here's the deal: anyone who can re-compile the compiled portions of my programs AND explain why dcl_project_import doesn't work and what replaced it.

So, the deal is this: $100 USD delivered by Zell, or some other safe transfer of funds, when I get my un-compiled programs and the place where they keep the information of all changes to 2015 OpenDCL code.

I'm serious.  I've been here since the beginning: designer of the logo and a tester of early code.

Why am I doing this? I can't get any feedback (except Owen concerning Bit Maps) and I'm currently working on (by myself) 26 condos in the Bahamas and 4 houses waiting in line.

Any help would be $100 USD appreciated

Studio/Dialog Editor / decompiling OpenDCL AutoLISP c...

Last post by jbuzbee - July 16, 2025, 08:49:14 PM

I started using OpenDCL in 2004 and have dozens of routines.  I don't have time to figure out why dcl stopped using dcl_project_import to turn the written poutines into compiled code.  I don't need any of my routines compiled: they are free to anyone who wants some.

Now my question is how can I uncompile my code.  I'm studying to take the ARE and have one large project and several houses so my time is limited.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

AS a side note i'm not going to use the Autocad ribbon: it's got some nice features, but it keeps disappearing so I'm going to be building a ribbon out of OpenDCL.  My work is offered to anyone willing to help me.

Again, I just want to uncompile what I already have.

Thank you and God bless

Runtime/AutoLISP / dcl_project_import

Last post by jbuzbee - July 14, 2025, 02:23:01 AM

what's going on with dcl_project_import.  I havn't been on my computer lately = what's happened now?  I've got over 25 AutoLISP programs that use OpenDCL.

Can someone shed some light?  I would seriously appreciate it. (I've down loaded the latest runtime and studio)

The file is just a normal resource DLL, so I think you can use a tool like Resource Hacker.

Much appreciated

I'd like to get access to some bitmaps (.BMP) from AutoCAD Architecture 2024.  Found on the web they are in the ACADBTN.dll.  Any help would be greatly appreciated

Nope.  I can't find any way I can load an image (which becomes a number)
