AutoCAD 2000 to 2004 - AutoLISP Insert into Dialog Boxes...

[sanders720]

In R2000, I could use this line of LISP code...

(command "-insert" "bill_note_left" P4 (* (getvar "dimscale&quot 1) "" "0" AttReq AttRSP JOB+PTSQ2 AttRev AttRelBy AttRelDate AttDesc AttMfg AttMisc AttCode SNStr LN AttIMNO AttIMDESC IN) ;; insert block with attributes

In R2004, once it hits the attribute the code stops...

(command "-insert" "bill_note_left" P4 (* (getvar "dimscale&quot 1) "" "0" ...

Any remedies to this?

I don't have a clue to your problem, I'm just curious. Why are you multiplying the DIMSCALE times 1?

Great question. I have no idea. This program was written three years ago when we upgraded to 2000, and I have no idea why I wrote it this way. It does however, work in 2000.

Check TEXTEVAL. I'm assuming you're assigning values to ...

Wait a minute, are you aware that ATTREQ is an AutoCAD system variable? Are you resetting it to a variable within your lisp function?

... anyway, TEXTEVAL determines how autocad text functions evaluate strings in commands.

The attdia variable is a little touchier in 2004 vs 2000!
