OpenDCL for BricsCAD

[dioneib]

There OpenDCL to BricsCAD?

[owenwengerd]

Yes, OpenDCL 8 supports AutoCAD, BricsCAD, ZWCAD, and soon GstarCAD.

Thank you.
I will search to find out how to make it work.
In attempts the BricsCAD did not recognize the command (command "_.OPENDCL").

[dioneib]

I managed to make it work.
The correct is (command "OpenDCL") and not (command "_.OPENDCL").
The dot (.) Makes all the difference.
I appreciate your promptness.

It should work either way, and does for me in BricsCAD V15. Which version are you using?

[dioneib]

See below in BricsCAD screen:


: _qnew
: (command "_.OPENDCL")
: _.OPENDCLnil
:
: ACADVER


ACADVER = "19.1 BricsCAD" (read only)

@ dioneib:
You are misinterpreting the feedback you are getting.
It is important to know two things:
1. The return value of the command function is always nil.
2. Arx/Brx applications are loaded once per CAD session.

Take a look at this command history:

Code Select Expand

: (command "_.OPENDCL")
: _.OPENDCL
OpenDCL Runtime [8.0.0.6] loaded
nil
:
: (command "_.OPENDCL")
: _.OPENDCLnil
: (command "bla")
: bla

Unable to recognize command "BLA". Please try again.nil
:

To check the BricsCAD version you should use the _vernum variable.

You're right as always.
All the rest I speak not make sense.
Many thanks for your promptness always
