Title: Is it possible to get ... this done
Post by: Krushert on March 23, 2007, 02:02:58 PM

I was wondering.   :-o

Is it possible to or place a some piece of sort of "code" (lack of a better term) in the prefix spot for "Exporting to Autocad" in options dialog to provide the current date?  See Image.  Just curious to see if it can be done.  I know it can be done with code by creating a new command but I would like to see if it can be done thru "Options".

This should probably be in the code section but I thought this might be a better place to start.

I suppose it could be done but.....  That's held in the registry.

(vl-registry-write (strcat "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\" (vlax-product-key) "\\Profiles\\" (getvar "cprofile") "\\Preferences\\AecGuiBase50") "ExportExplodedToAutoCADFilePrefix" "BVH-")

I have ours set to automatically prefix with the company name.

We prefix the date then the initials of the person/company we are sending it to.  I have a lisp routine to do what I am asking but I curious to see if it could be done just within the options or maybe registry.  But Messing with the registry .... ummm ...   :lol:

I think I would write some code to update the registry when you call the export command.  That way it is always current (date) you are looking for

The more I think of it, I like my lisp routine even more. 
And yes I am a little chicken when it comes to the registry.   :-D

  Hey Krush, any chance you could edit the subject line?  Think of all the things that could go after that.
