Logging allows you to review recent activity in the Console window.
Note: The Visual LISP IDE is available on Windows only.
- In Visual LISP, click File
Toggle Console Log. Note: The Console window must be active for the Toggle Console Log option to be available. - In the Open Log dialog box, specify a folder and file name for the log file.
If the file already exists, an alert box is displayed that asks if you want to append the current log to the existing file. Click Yes to append future Console window activity to the existing log file. Click No to overwrite the log file.
- To close the log file and quit the logging process, click File Toggle Console Log.
The state of Console window logging is indicated in the Console window's title bar. If logging is in effect, the name of the log file is displayed in the window’s title bar. If logging is off, no file name appears in the window’s title bar.
If the log file is not closed before exiting Visual LISP, the log file is closed automatically upon exit. After a log file is closed, its contents can be viewed with any ASCII text editor.
