Brian,

I may be way off base but you may be using global variables
with the same name as global variables in another AutoLISP
routine.

BTW, we used the routine in CADalyst to store the layer status
and it worked fine.  Did you turn the page and see the rest of
the code on the following page?

Does anyone have a solution for the fill problem and speed slowdown of

Can these fixes be obtained by ftp? If not, could Autodesk (please, pretty
please) consider making them available this way. Our local distributors have
told us that since we paid a low educational price we get no support from
them (unless we pay for it), so ready access to bug fixes at least would be
nice.

The current belief is that the fill problem was related to a bad header
file used to build the production drivers (A.1.18 or thereabouts if I
remember correctly.  But should have been resolved in the uploaded versions
in CompuServe.  Another way to resolve this is to use the PCL configuration
option instead of HPGL/2, although it will be a little slower.

As far as the speed slowdown, this too has been resolved in the bugfix
release (c1) and via accompanying ADI drivers.  But what is disturbing
is that this should have been fixed in A.1.44 (as a matter of fact, it
was in A.1.44 that it was fixed).  I'm curious as to where did you get
these A.1.44 drivers?

Hello,
 We have a problem with the ADI driver for the digitizer. Whenever
an acad user logs into acad and uses the digitizer, acad creates 
a socket file called /tmp/s.acaddig which is owned by the user and this
file hangs on the /tmp even after the user quits acad.For eg. when
a user "vish" uses the acad, the file shown below is created. 

% ls -lg /tmp/s.acaddig
srwxrwxrwx  1 vish     wheel           0 Sep 29 12:24 /tmp/s.acaddig

Since this file is owned by the first user who uses the digitizer, it 
disallows any other users' trying to use the digitizer and the "dgpsumi"
(driver) process hangs around trying to acquire the socket. The error message 
we are getting is " Socket already in use:Unable to bind". One temporary 
solution we came up with was to change the group of the /tmp/s.acaddig to 
the acad users group from the "wheel" group to the "acad_user_group" 
as the mode on the file is 777, hence any acad user in that group can
use the same socket file, and hence the digitizer.

% chown vish.staff /tmp/s.acaddig
% ls -lg /tmp/s.acaddig
srwxrwxrwx  1 vish     staff           0 Sep 29 12:24 /tmp/s.acaddig

The solution works till the machine is rebooted as the /tmp is cleared and
we have to repeat the above mentioned process.
Shouldn't the /tmp/s.acaddig file be unlinked when an acad user quits
the acad gracefully?, which if it does will solve the socket binding problem.
Does anybody else have faced similar problem? and is this a configuration
error or a bug?

Thanks

Summary: consultation on OS-hardware mix for 10 CAD stations
Keywords: CAFM, GeoSQL, GIS, AutoArchitect, hardware selection
Date: 3 Oct 92 01:25:15 GMT
Organization: Universite de Montreal

I'm seeking advice on the platform that would best fit our needs.
We (the planning department of the University of Montreal) plan to
buy a CAD system that would act as a front end to a CAFM (compu-
ter-aided facilities management) system. 10 stations are needed.
We only have 5 Mac and a plotter now as an introduction to CAD.

Our drawing database will cover 5 000 000 sq.ft., and the room 
inventory will include more than 10 000 rooms. 

We plan to use AutoCAD, AutoArchitect, an external dbms related to 
AutoCAD with GeoSQL or equivalent, and productivity software in  
mechanical and electrical design (Toolbox, Pro-Series). 3D rende-
ring  will be used: RenderStar, 3Dstudio (or equiv.). 

Now we have to choose between DOS and UNIX platforms. If DOS,
would it be powerful enough for these applications, with a server
and a LAN. If UNIX, can all these applications run on a server,
and which flavor of UNIX is preferred.

On a trial basis, we could use X terminals and a Silicon Graphics
4D/380 server. Would this particular platform support the required
software.

If you'd care to comment on this topic, I'd be delighted to read
you. Please answer by E-Mail. I'll post a summary of views expressed.

I got the A.1.44 driver from none other than AutoDesk's very own
Global Village BBS (415)331-8093 at the suggestion of Kathy Ryan.
The file I downloaded was....

plphp.zip 102272 bytes

I'm confused about the use of the PCL option.  I have a LJ series II
and I thought HPGL/2 was not supported on this printer.

Sorry, I'd forgot about these.  These are the drivers that we put up
for the interim till the bugfix release ("c1") came out.  And A.1.44 
and A.C.04 (bugfix versions) have both addressed the speed issue.  It
may be that your problem is related to line weights and pen widths.

You're right, HPGL/2 is not supported for this printer.  Your reference
to a "fill" problem misled me (there was a problem with smart fills in
HPGL/2).

Regrettably, the fast XGL-based display driver requires the DGA (direct

the X11R5 server, AutoCAD uses the Xlib-based driver which, as you've
noticed, is significantly slower.  You can get rid of the message by
reconfiguring AutoCAD to use the X11 driver instead of the XGL driver.

In order to make sails, you have to generate what is called 'developable'

One thing I've always wished AutoCAD included is a utility to save
and restore layer settings for drawings involving many different
layers and possible configurations.  I saw a LISP routine in 
CADalyst, but something was wrong with the printout and I couldn't
get it to work.  So, I set out into unfamiliar territory and
programmed my own.  I have no idea how to parse the dotted pair
code in the Layer Table which represents the state of the layer
(i.e. Frozen/Thawed/On/Off) but I hacked it to the point where
it seems to work.  

The point of this discussion is that I am experiencing a problem
where loading in and using my routine causes previously loaded
LISP routines to produce unpredictable results (as well as 
routines loaded afterward).  Obviously my routine has corrupted
the LISP routine memory area.  Can anyone tell me if there are
any precautions to be taken to avoid such a situation?  This may
be something along the lines of asking you to summarize the 
LINE command options in 10 words or less--if so, just tell me to
shut up and I'll go away.

Thanks in advance.

If you have access to Compuserve check the ACAD forum, the 'driver' library
should have PCAD.zip which is a VCPI addin that completely (color) supports the
DeskjetC.  PRINTGL.zip is a standalone that does the same.
