I maintain a number of simple lisp routines for our office. Written for acad2000. In acad2004, these lisp routines begin by unexpectedly popping up the text window. Not the end of the world - but is there a simple way to prevent this? example... (defun c:adddimlinear () (setvar "texteval" 1) (setq scalestr (rtos (getvar 'useri1) 2 0)) (setq dimstring (strcat scalestr "linear")) (command "dimstyle" "restore" dimstring "dimlinear" pause pause pause)) Larry Kearns
