By now, you should have all the necessary pieces
in place to use some live reactors.
To test the reactor code
- Load
all the source code from your project. (Choose the Load Source Files button
in the gpath project window.)
- Start
the C:GPath function.
The program
will draw a garden path for you, just as you were able to in Lesson
5. You won't see anything interesting at first.
- Try
the following actions after you draw the path:
- Move
a polyline vertex. Pick the polyline and turn on its grips, then
drag a vertex to a new location.
- Stretch
the polyline.
- Move
the polyline.
- Erase
the polyline.
Examine the messages that appear. You are watching
the behind-the-scenes activities of a powerful capability.
(If
your application is not working correctly and you do not want to
take the time to debug it right now, you can run the sample code
provided in the Tutorial\VisualLISP\Lesson6 directory.
Use the Gpath6 project in that directory.)
NoteBecause of the reactor
behavior, you may notice that after testing a reactor sequence in AutoCAD,
you cannot return to VLISP by pressing ALT + TAB, or by clicking
to activate the VLISP window. If this happens, simply enter vlisp at the AutoCAD Command
prompt to return to VLISP.
