Dimscale - Command or Sysvar? |
|
|
I am trying to use the Dimscale value as a multiplier, I am having trouble getting the value. I get the error 'no function definition: DIMSCALE*'. Here is the code:
(SETQ DSCL (GETVAR "DIMSCALE"))
and in another lisp I set it using:
(command "dimscale" "96")
Which makes me wonder if it is a Command or a Sysvar, it is listed as a variable. And that is the same way I get the value of other variables like 'OSMODE'.
How can I use the Dimscale value in a Lisp? Thanks.

This is a system variable and your example is correct. How have you defined
your action in your program.
Your error message:
error 'no function definition: DIMSCALE*'
looks like you have defined a function DIMSCALE*` which may be causing the
error.

Here is the code:
(
defun c:RC()
(SETQ DSCL (GETVAR "DIMSCALE"))
(SETQ AMIN (DSCL .1 *)
(SETQ AMAX (DSCL .2 *)
(command "REVCLOUD" "A" AMIN AMAX "O" "L" "")
(princ)
)
I'm not sure about the Math and use of variables, I can't get past the "no function definition: DIMSCALE*" error to debug it. Thanks again.

Try pasting each line into the command line....... what do you expect (SETQ
AMIN (DSCL .1 *) to do? If it's this: DSCL times 0.1 (as I suspect) then it
needs to be written as (* DSCL 0.1). Also, both (setq statements need a
closing paren.
(SETQ AMIN (* DSCL 0.1))
(SETQ AMAX (* DSCL 0.2))

| Dimscale is a variable, like osmode and many others. However. for quite a few versions now it has been possible to set system variables by typing their names -- before that we had to use the setvar command. So I'd say that all the sysvars are also commands now, in a sense. You can set them through the (command) function, though I think it's more clear if you use (setvar) and (getvar) on them. |

What Jeff has done here is to make the numbers "real" inside the parenthesis
by adding a 0 in front of the period.
