LISP routines stopping in odd places

I have a LISP routine that I use for plotting drawings with one click of a button, but the routine always seems to stop in some part of the PLOT command section (The exact location tends to vary). Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

Also, the PSETUPIN command doesn't work either - is there something about file locations in LISP I don't know about?

Cheers.

;Babtie_All_Black_A1
(DEFUN c:Babtie_All_Black_A1 ()
(COMMAND "textfill" "1")
(COMMAND "expert" "2")
(COMMAND "-view" "window" "Babtie" PAUSE PAUSE)
(COMMAND "psetupin" "O:/Jobs/Cad/Plot_Styles/styles.dwg" "*")
(COMMAND "-plot" "yes" "" "HP1050c.pc3" "Oversize: ISO A1 (portrait)" "Millimeters" "Landscape" "No" "view" "Babtie" "Fit"

"Center" "Yes" "Babtie_All_Black_A1" "Yes" "No" "No" "No" "No" "Yes" "Yes")
(COMMAND "Filedia" "1")
(COMMAND "expert" "0")
(PRINC)
)

 

Why don't you type "-PLOT" at command prompt and see for yourself exactly where it is stopping. The "Command" keyword works exactly as if you were typing at the AutoCAD command prompt. Note that the empty quotes ("") represent "Enter" at command prompt.

Or turn on cmdecho and watch the prompts as the routine runs.

 

Is it possible your drawing already has a view named Babtie, and it's
asking you if you want to redefine that view?

Hey DB

I think the expert setting takes care of that - but I may be wrong. Why not
expert 5 and then you don't get any are you sure questions.

So where's the pic?

I'm not an expert in Expert. I guess I auto look into that.

It IS a cutie. I found it a few weeks ago while preparing the attic
for new drywall. I know exactly where it is... now where did that
scanner go???
I also never sent Saara a scan of my drawings of a trapezoidal
outhouse I made 25 years ago. "right at the top of my list, I'm
working my way up to it"

Btw, you never told me your *real* name. Can't be Jamie on your birth

Have already done all that - this routine started off as a script, but needed the pause in it so I converted into LISP. As a matter of course, I would go through all the commands on the command line forst to get the right order, then copy things from the text window into the script/LISP routine.

The problem here is that the point where it stops varies each time I run it - sometimes its at the .ctb file location, sometimes at the paper size, etc..

Have now sussed it I think - I didn't have .ctb on the end of the ctb file name. its the smallest things sometimes......

 

Now hold up there. You're a sophisticated Ontarian, almost as old as I
am. People didn't name their children with nicknames back in our day.
I myself suffered under the monicker Dougie all my childhood (some of
my parents' friends (now 90) still call me Dougie), but that ain't my
birth name, schweetie. ps - Technically we're discussing Name
Customization here, which is perhaps why Annie's giving us latitude!

 

You caught me on the Dee - I hate my middle name, so always initial, and if
anyone ask's - I just say Dee.
But Jamie it is - but then again I'm originally from Montreal...

prolonging the problem.

 

Of course if you were an infamous ET, it'd be Je t'aime.

 

How do I say "please return to the topic" in French? Eh?
