Assemblies

[dave]

When I make an assembly or try to copy components. I sometimes get an error that says "ERROR bad argument type: lentityp nil" Support has no idea what this means. Has anyone else dealt with this or figured out why this happens?

the only thing I can say is that sometimes if our Assembly is too large we get error messages that crash Assembly Manager and dump the assembly. What we so in its place is use the Import/Export option. I have never found a problem with this method neither with size nor intelligence. I have copied entire drawings as well as small loops.

yeah it's something to do with a bad line or two. You know how sometimes the line will show that it's on a run but not shwo a line number. Weird. You also cannot copy the component when this happens.
Thanks for the tip Brian, I will try it.

that is a an AutoLisp error usally dealing with a string I think.

Dave,

Sorry that is an AutoLisp Error With dealing with Selection Sets. Example:

(setq SS(SSget "X" '((0 . "insert")(2 ."BORDER"))))

(setq SS - Sets varaible SS to a selection set

(SSGET "X" - Will select everything in the drawing

'((0 . "insert") - This is a selection set filter basically grabs all the inserted blocks

(2 . "BORDER") This is a selection filter also your filter now consits of the following you selecting all the inserted blocks with an insert name of "BORDER"

))) will close out the lisp routine.


I usally get this error when I am using a selection set grabbing a block that is nested in side of another block

I hope this helps....
