James, This is a late replay but to address you lisp error, you can not STRCAT an integer.
So use two PRINC functions like this:
(PRINC "Line: ")(PRINC (= N (+ N 1)))
Or convert the integer:
(PRINC (STRCAT "Line: " (ITOA (= N (+ N 1)))))
HTH
I don't know if I ever got back to you one the bad argument. I think it due to not setting n equal to zero. Try (setq N 0) and run before the n + 1 statement. Wow, am I rusty, I don't even remember how to set an AutoLISP variable. I think for vacati…
The concern is still there for visual lisp and arx for me. For VL lisp it sure seems like it was just "tacked" on to the original lisp code, and thrown together in a hurry. I just am so skeptical that those programs that run on AutoCAD VLisp and Int…
No problem Dave,
It's been interesting reading for me to follow the discussion & I appreciate your link to the ZWCAD DRX information. I agree with you that AutoLISP should be more than adequate for my needs, but I am also not adverse to learning C+…

Well put Scott and Deelip, this really puts things into perspective.

I agree. This "X rated" stuff may be far too complex for an end user. However, having said that I will also say that you can do wonders with LISP itself. Over a decade ago I programmed in AutoLISP for AutoCAD Release 12. I worked for company that bu…
I think when Deelip was commenting on the new paradigm of programming that is coming due to the ARX like API planned for the IntelliCAD engine and saying "the future of IntelliCAD programming is DRX" he was speaking from his point of view not the po…
Thanks Daniel,
I've got a few dusty C++ books that I never made it quite through ... it sounds like DRX is probably quite a bit more complex than I have the time to invest right now. A means of tailoring the CAD environment would certainly not be t…
For those of us who are not quite up to speed on which ??X is which I provided the following link to shed some light on DRX.
Guess I had better come up to speed on some of this X rated stuff ...
... I still depend on a few essential lisp routines t…
