Lisp file works in ps but not ms???

[adesta]

Not sure if you can post lisp files on here, so I won't, but I have a lisp file that works in paper space but not in model space. It is one I tried to come up with myself, so I have no idea what I would have done to make it work one place but not the other. Any ideas without seeing the file?

Thanks

map2000i is the version and the all the items are in the same space.

Adesta,

What version of AutoCAD and what is your Operating System?

The one answer I can give, the lisp routine expects the objects to be in the same SPACE.

Now I know somebody will have a better answer but that is what I have experenced.

Here is what I came up with (I do not know much about lisp files but tried to give it a go) This is written to end up with a break where intersecting lines cross (the

one I tried with break only work sometimes, for some reason)

What should this lisp accomplish in the end ??

 

[adesta]

When it works, one of my lines no longer intersects the other but breaks before the line and starts again on the other side of it.

 

[jclaidler]

try this: (defun c:xo

(setq pt1 (getpoint "select intersection"))
(command "circle" pt1 ".125")

(setq ss (ssget "l") )

(command "trim" "l" "" pt1 "")
(command "erase" ss "")

)

 

[adesta]

Thanks, that works great. What does the (setq ss ssget "l")
actually do?
