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.
