error

i am tring to use vla-InsertBlock to insert a block in a program that was
working fine using "command" "insert". Without lecturing me on why i
shouldn't change it if it was working could someone shed some light on the
error?

the error is: INTERNAL ERROR:
!U:\global\src\ObjectDbx\DB\IMP\src\dbutil.cpp@843: eLockViolation

it always works the first time then lock the second. i suspect it's
something obvious if i knew what i was doing.

 

Without seeing the rest of the code - just guessing.
Did you 'release' the object ?

i suspect if i can figure out how i am supposed to release the object then
this will be solved, but so far i haven't had any luck. here is the insert
i am trying to use, (also why when i search help for vla-InsertBlock
nothing is found?)

is there some command you have to do to end the command?

(vl-load-com)
(vla-InsertBlock
(vla-get-ModelSpace
(vla-get-ActiveDocument
(vlax-get-acad-object)
)
)
(vlax-3d-point InsPnt)
BlockName
1 1 1 0
)

 

(defun crac (/ ins)
(vl-load-com)
(setq inspnt (list 0.0 0.0 0.0))
(setq ins
(vla-InsertBlock
(vla-get-ModelSpace
(vla-get-ActiveDocument
(vlax-get-acad-object)
)
)
(vlax-3d-point InsPnt)
"cutsht"
1 1 1 0
)
)
)

This works fine here. Localized the Insert object.

Or...

(defun crac2 ()
(vl-load-com)
(setq inspnt (list 0.0 0.0 0.0))
(vlax-release-object
(vla-InsertBlock
(vla-get-ModelSpace
(vla-get-ActiveDocument
(vlax-get-acad-object)
)
)
(vlax-3d-point InsPnt)
"cutsht"
1 1 1 0
)
)
)

(if (not (vlax-object-released-p YourObject))
(vlax-release-object YourObject)
)
(gc)

I believe that if it is declared as a LOCAL symbol it is not necessary to
release it.

If I am wrong maybe someone will let me know.

Don

 

I think the 'ins', being local is just a 'symbol' - which nulls on exit. But isn't the 'object' still there until released ?

Bob

 

the release didn't help but now that i've tried the program so many times i
noticed if i do a regen in between runs it doesn't lock up. do you know why
that may be?

 

Maybe someone more knowledgeable than I can shed some light.
