Error when starting the FILTER command

Hello all,

Three weeks ago we upgraded from Acad2000i to Acad2005. We did a stand alone
installation and we moved all the support files to a share folder on a
network drive.

We are getting errors when start the FILTER command. The errors are:

- A first dialog box that says:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program: D:\Program Files\AutoCAD 2005\acad.exe

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an
unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

- After I click on the OK button, another dialog box appears:

AutoCAD 2005 - ["The drawing path"]: acad.exe - Application Error
The instruction at "0x00a6d0ab" referenced memory at "0x7ef860f8".
The memory could not be "read"
Click on OK to terminate the program.


Sometimes I got this message:

Command: filter
Syntax error in Named Filter List file. Delete filter.nfl

The problem appears and disappears and it is happening in all machines. I
tried changing the start in folder in the shortcut on my desktop with no
result. I deleted all the filter.nfl files and I still have the problem. Do
I am missing something. Does anyone knows the reason of this error?. I am
posting images of the messages on customer-files group under the same
subject.

Thanks in advance for any help.

PASTE THIS INTO AUTOCAD TEXT SCREEN:

(and
(setq file(findfile"FILTER.NFL"))
(setq file(open file "r"))
(while(princ(read-line file))(princ"\n"))
(close file)
)

NOW COPY AND PASTE THE RESULT
SO WE CAN NOTICE ANY PROBLEMS

 

AD,

I had the same problem after upgrading to 2004. A search of the 2004 NG will show
others have reported it as well. Unfortunately I don't think you'll find a solution
there.

I don't have time to go into details right now. My solution was use the old
filter.lsp and filter.dcl, rather than filter.fas. Notice, the old version doesn't
leave filter.nfl files in your project folders.

Mataeux,

This is what I got when run your code:

Command: (and
(_> (setq file(findfile"FILTER.NFL"))
(_> (setq file(open file "r"))
(_> (while(princ(read-line file))(princ"\n"))
(_> (close file)
(_> )
Filter.nfl -- Do not edit this file.
nilnil

 

ok, just delete the file "FILTER.NFL"

if you dont know where it is, use (findfile"FILTER.NFL")

 

Mataeux,

That was the first thing I did when I got the error. Did not work. It is
something else.
Any way, thank you for your help.
