Help regarding pop-push of a LIST

Neeraj Vardhan

Hi,

I was trying to save my path coordinates as a list. But when i was trying to print the list of points, got errors "unbound variable-plist" . the code is mentioned below.

 

procedure(nvToGetMyLocation()

let((point plist)

cvw=getCurrentWindow()

point=hiGetPoint(cvw)

plist=append(plist list(point))

print(point)

print(plist)

); let

); procedure_nvToGetMyLocation

    Try this - I modified your code. You really need to use an options form for this - I've extended to cope with updating the rubber-band width of the path if you change the width during digitization. Hit return to finish the path (or double-click).

    I added comments to give you some idea as to what is going on.

    Andrew.
