Hi,

The command you are looking for is ACISOUT.

You can use it in a script like this

;START SCRIPT
ACISOUT
ALL

C:$FILENAME$.SAT
;END SCRIPT

Of course, you don't have to use the "C:$FILENAME$.SAT" line.
(Check out the Hurricane TAGS for more info http://www.74mph.com/faq/FAQ00146.html

You can just leave the last lines blank... to save them to the current directory...
like this...
;START SCRIPT
ACISOUT
ALL


;END SCRIPT

Hope this helps!
Regards,
Bill

Hi Mustard,

1) Can you send me a copy of your hurricane.scr file? (found in your /AutoCAD/Suppor/ directory, and
2) Can you can also (in Hurricane) turn "logging" on via the "Tools->Options->Log tab", then press "Create Batch Script", then send the "hurricane.log" file, found in the /Hurricane/DATA/ directory.

I generally attempt to get one thing going before another... so if you could , please just try using a ZOOM E script to get the feeling of what Hurricane does, and how it works. It looks like you are going for a fairly lengthy script to start with, so lets try to take a few baby steps, then combine them all, after each one works (you can create short, small scripts, and use the "Append" checkbox to append them all together.

It looks like you may have a bunch of autoloading lisp/commands running just as the file is opened... and maybe a rogue "Carriage Return" or two. (These are usually what things boil down to). But as of now, I'm not sure what you have in your "Hurricane" script vs. what you have in your AutoCAD2004.lsp file.

So if we get to see those files, hopefully we can get this worked out quickly...
(Make sure you ZIP them to post them), or you can just e-mail them directly to me (bill at 74mph.com)

Regards,
Bill

Hi,

I got your info thanks... I suppose you might have just copied the script file incorrectly.

Here it is in ZIP format. Just extract it into your SCRIPTS directory and then use the filter to find it by typic ACIS.

Download Attachment: ACIS OUTPUT.zip

This works for me... so I would hope it works for you??

Regards,
Bill
