    Howdy all, its been a while since I queried anything.
    In this case its an error message I get quite often,
    which tells me I obviously havent learned from any
    previous mistakes I've made.
    Anyhow, just what does this error message mean?
    I can post the lisp in question if necessary.
    As usual thanks to all repliers.

    It means you have passed a variable containing the wrong data type to a
    function that is expecting a point. For example.

    (setq a "" b (getpoint))
    (distance a b)

    Since a is a string, you get the error [; error: bad argument type: 2D/3D
    point: ""]
