Topic: Acad LT2006 VLide Editor

[Ron Heigh]

Does anybody know of a way to edit LISP routines in LT2006?
I have the LT Toolkit, but some of the routines still don't load, so I want a debugger.
Mark, I know you use VIM, will this tell me in LT where the code is crashing?

Regards, Ron

btw, nice to see everyone again.

Vim is a text editor only. Although there are methods and means to return error messages from some C++ compilers back to Vim (To make Vim more like an IDE-ish-type of enviroment). There isnt anything that ive seen to allow you to do this with AutoCAD.

Debuger in LT: Nothing i know of. (Course i only have an understaning of LT and no working experence with it.) I would just use my Text editor and some good old trial and error.

Hi Ron,

Download LT-Extender [gonna work for 200 goes] and there is a Debugging and Erorr-Analysis that might help! Never had to use it having full AutoCAD.
And who knows looking at it you may decide it is as good as LTToolkit at a fraction of the price.

Merci Beaucoup, Serge.
C'est tres bien.

Salut!

Ron, tu parles francais, j'aurais jamais imagine!
Ca a marche le debugging avec LTE?

[Ron Heigh]

Serge,

Je ne parle pas en francais, je parle en englais.
Je parle en francais en peu.

I think that the debug mode of LT extender will help a bit, plus it gives you better command line debugging to find wher ethe problm is.
So far, it looks much better that the LT Toolkit does.

Regards, Ron

Merci Beaucoup, Serge.
C'est tres bien.

Buddy, you could have fooled me and indeed you did! As for LTE there is still work to be done to refine some rough edges but le$$ expen$ive.

Ron,
There is closer to you, a Canadian package:

I successfully ported the LT-Extender into LT2006 and it works great.
All of my routines worked just fine.

The problem was with the compiled routines I was trying to use (FAS).  Once I removed the FAS files and used the LSP versions, everything is good.
As well, LT-Extender adds the missing profiles tab into the options dialog box so I can share my set-up very easily.

[Serge J. Gianolla]

Cool!

The advantage for me was that ObjectDCL works with LT. I introduced Torsten [LTE] to Chad [ODCL] years ago because of that need. But that was prior to ACAD2005.
Since then Autodesk in their infinite wisdom took the LISP interpreter out of LT!

I find Gary's package too expensive [personal opinion], and in your face. At least, with LTE, for developers it is great, cause of the silent mode and ability to tie it to your own software yourself.

Discussion Bookmarked. !

I'd like to see what is available with the extenders in a couple of monthe, or after 2007LT is released. With FAS, VLX and ARX being loadable, there seems to be a lot of potential there.

Any indication about a NET API. ? 

Serge, can you still use ODCL ?

[Serge J. Gianolla]

Serge, can you still use ODCL ?

Yes Kerry. Been using it since it came out. As for LTE, that was for in-house testing but never professionally; instead we were using LTBooster from cadaware.

[Kerry]

Thanks Serge, Thats good news. Chad is currently upgrading for AC2007, so we'll see what happens.

Perhaps you should expect to be inundated with lots of inane questions.

Hi Gary and welcome to the swamp.

Was wondering when you'd finally poke your head in here.
