-BOUNDARY command

Patrik Mlekuž

I added some entities to the selection set ss, defined "inner" point refPt and called

acedCommand(RTSTR, _T("_-BOUNDARY"), RTSTR, _T("_A"), RTSTR, _T("_I"), RTSTR, _T("_Y"), RTSTR, _T("_B"), RTSTR, _T("_N"), RTPICKS, ss, RTSTR, _T(""), RTSTR, _T(""), RTPOINT, refPt, RTSTR, _T(""), RTNONE)

to create a boundary.

It works fine in AutoCAD but not in BricsCAD. Does anybody know what is wrong or provide me a solution?

Please try to enter exactly the same sequence of input (names, arguments) interactively ..
so run it manually ...
alternatively, set cmdecho=1 in your Lisp code, and then check the commandline output,
usually there you will see where (and eventually why) -BOUNDARY fails ..

but "manual" mode is safest for investigation ...

Many greetings, Torsten Moses !

It looks like, there is a problem with . Maybe there is a different way of providing a selection set in BricsCAD?

Thanks for the answer in advance.

Due to our best knowledge, there is no known problem with (..., RTPICKS, ss, RTSTR, _T(""), ...);
have you tried to use that command sequence manually at the prompt ? You can use a Lisp selectionset
to mimic the input;
I would assume, that the input sequence with -BOUNDARY is slightly different compared to Acad ?
Using the commandline manually will show if command prompt sequence is fine.

You can also create a small sample dwg with entities you want to get the boundary for, and a little Lisp
to test that command sequence - if that works in Acad but fails in Bricscad, then please send us a SupportRequest.

Many greetings !
