The 'BLOCK' command function worked well when ProgeCAD was first installed.
However after using 'APPLOAD' to load some additional (AutoCAD) lisp routines, blocks cannot be created.

Can this be reversed by manipulating a setting? or does ProgeCAD need to be re-installed?

Regards

Hello disegno,


May I ask what you tried to install?? It may well be that one of these scripts overwrote or re-defined an internal function or default alias initially set by progeCAD.

May I also ask exactly which command does not work now? Are you trying full text command name, underscore version AND alias, or just a short command alias?

To help solve your (and many similar) issues, I first suggest restore the menus and toolbars as described previously on this forum. If that doesn't work, it would be good - in any case - to have the info asked above.

Hello caddit

Thankyou for your reply.

It seems that the variable that controls whether blocks can be created is the 'pickfirst' variable.

Part of my lisp routine contains the line (SETVAR "PICKFIRST" 0).

If this variable is set to 0 blocks will not be created.
