Solid Modeling Loaded

Is there any variable or file that I can read or see if it is loaded to
know that the solid modeling is loaded
This is becouse I use a routin that works whith command with solids and the
time it takes the first time AutoCAd load the solid modeling I shoul inform
the user that the routin is doing something and not seems to be not working

Thanks

 

this is what i use [in a2004]:

(if (not (vl-bb-ref 'solid_modeler))
(progn
(vl-bb-set 'solid_modeler t)
(princ
"\nWait about to load the modeler...\n")

(entmake (list '(0 . "REGION")
'(100 . "AcDbEntity")
'(67 . 0)
'(410 . "Model")
'(8 . "254")
'(100 . "AcDbModelerGeometry")
'(70 . 1)
'(1 . "mogoo mh m o ")
'(1

 

Thanks Luis for the answear

What I don't understand if solid_modeler is a variable that you set (it
seems) or it can be read from AutoCAD. If it is seted by you I must execute
it each time I open a dwg, to set it, even if a solid already exist in the
drawing and solid modeler is already loaded automaticaly by the program
I profit to ask you (watching to the code you put in the message) where can
I get information about the manings of . "n fqfffffffffffffffj:rooh n:rono
" , ">,27:>;:- {rn rn _nm mogqoqmqhoml" etc, becouse to make any other
entity I use ENTMAKE or VLA-ADD.. but with solids allway do a command line,
even if I know it isn't the best way

Thanks again

well, what you can do also is to include a selection set of any possible 3d
solid before doing the loading process.

suerte,
