Question
I am trying to use the command rotate3d in a lisp file but i keep getting an error message that says "rotate3d unknown command".
Here is how i have the lisp file:

(defun c:rtd ( / )  
(command "rotate3d" "all" "" "yaxis" "" "90")
(princ)
)

any ideas?
Thanks,
Kevin

Answer
you can't call a lisp C: function with the command function.
You can call them like this: (c:functionname), but you won't be able to sequence the resulting prompts with the command funtion either.
if you can figure out how to use one or more of it's internal functions, or gut the code to do only what you want, you might be able to accomplish the same thing.
alternatively, you could just make a toolbar button that does the work for you - that's probably what I'd recommend in this case.
