Carlson Software Forum

I just upgraded to Carlson 2009 on Autocad 2009 and noticed that the Draw Menu option for 3D Polylines appears to be the Autocad 3DPoly command, not the Carlson 3DPoly command. I cannot use point numbers to draw the entity. It seems the draw 2D polyline is the same as well.

Help?

I think the commands are correct, but their descriptions are wrong. My CUI file is dated 4/22/2008 and contains:

Command Name: 2D polyline
Description: Creates two-dimensional polylines: 2DP
Macro: 2DP

Command Name: 3D polyline
Description: Creates a polyline of straight line segments in three-dimensional space: 3dpoly
Macro: 3DP

Command Name: Autocad polyline
Description: Creates two-dimensional polylines: 2DP
Macro: _Pline

Interesting...I can activate the correct command by typing it at the command prompt (3DP), but when I choose it from the menu item the command executed is the Autocad "_3dpoly". Same for the 2D polyline.

Forgive me Dave, but I don't follow your comment. I frankly don't know that much about the CUI interface, but when I open it, all I see under the menu item for 3D Polyline is that the source is Carlson. No mention of the actual command being executed.

Okay, I didn't have the details turned on! Now I see it, and the macro for the menu item is indeed "^C^C_3dpoly", which is the Autocad command. When I change it to "^C^C_3dp" (Carlson command) it works fine.

So...I wonder why it was this way? I just did a typical install with migration from my old Carlson/Autocad. And I wonder what other commands will not work correctly from the menu. Guess I will find out.
