Declaration for menuMove is case sensitive. It should have been menumove (all lower case). In UInterfaces.pas the DCAL function should read as

Code: Select allProcedure menumove(Var iwant: wantType); stdcall; external AppName;

Declaration for callDgetstr132 is case sensitive. The correct declaration for UInterfaces.pas is as follow:

Code: Select all

   VAR arg: DgetstrArg; VAR iwant: wantType); stdcall; external AppName;

callMoveDrag function is not a valid DCAL function and should renamed to menuMovedrag

If you are using 11.08, you will need to update view_type record in URecords.pas. A new clipz boolean field was added. Without this flag, crashes may occur.

Code: Select all

   view_type = packed record
      addr: lgl_addr;    { Address of stored view }
      addrspc: adsmem;      { Current drawing file }
      Next: lgl_addr;    { Next view in list if any }
      prev: lgl_addr;    { Previous view in list if any }
      viewmode: aSInt;     { Type of projection }
      vmat: modmat;      { Viewing xform matrix }
      cmat: modmat;      { Post-clipping xform matrix }
      emat: modmat;      { Editing matrix }
      imat: modmat;      { Inverse of editing matrix }
      prspct: boolean;     { True if perspective mode }
      clipon: boolean;     { True if clipping cubes on }
      Name: string[9];   { Name of view if any }
      clpmin: point;       { Clipping cube minimum }
      clpmax: point;       { Clipping cube maximum }
      xr: aFloat;       { Window/viewport x position }
      yr: aFloat;       { Window/viewport y position }
      scale: aFloat;       { Window/viewport scale }
      scalei: aSInt;     { View drawing scale }
      perscent: point;       { Perspective center of view }
      perseye: point;       { Perspective eyepoint }
      persdis: aFloat;       { Perspective distance }
      togglelyr: boolean;     { True of toggling of layers on }
      frstlyr: lgl_addr;    { Address of first entry in layer list }
      lastlyr: lgl_addr;    { Address of last entry in layer list }
      currlyr: lgl_addr;    { Address of current layer for this view }
      flag1: byte;        { General purpose flag }
      { Changed in version 7.5 }
      flag2: byte;        { General purpose flag }
      coneang: aFloat; 
      frstatr,
      lastatr: lgl_addr;       
      clipNoZ     : boolean;
   END;

Another declaration error (case sensitive) in uinterfaces.pas. Please correct your uinterfaces.pas.

Code: Select allProcedure currwndw(Var lowleft, upright: point); stdcall; external AppName;

betwang function is not a valid DCAL function and should renamed to betweenang in UInterfaces.pas

Code: Select allFUNCTION betweenang (tstang, ang1, ang2 : aFloat) : boolean;stdcall;external AppName;

Following function calls do not work in DCAL, and will require a new DataCAD executable.

Code: Select all

atan2
cart_cylind

If you need to utilize these functions, you can use the following code:

Code: Select all

FUNCTION atan2(Y, X: aFloat): aFloat;
asm
   FLD     Y
   FLD     X
   FPATAN
   FWAIT
End;

PROCEDURE cart_cylind(x, y, z: aFloat; VAR rad, planang, zdis: aFloat);
BEGIN
   rad := sqrt(sqr(x) + sqr(y));
   planang := atan2(y, x);
   zdis := z;
END;

lyr_clear call has missing "var" keyword. The correct declaration is:

Code: Select allPROCEDURE lyr_clear(var addr: lyraddr); stdcall; external AppName;

Correct Declaration for dis_from_arc is as follows.

Code: Select all

FUNCTION dis_from_arc(const center: point; radius, begang, endang: aFloat;
   const tstpnt: point): aFloat; stdcall; external AppName;

Posted: **Mon Mar 26, 2007 7:52 am**

Both disfromlin and disfromseg are NOT valid DCAL functions, but dis_from_line and dis_from_seg are the correct functions. You can safely delete the declaration of disfromlin and disfromseg from Uinterfaces.pas
