Thanks Dommy2Hotty..
is it possible to use one more vlax-for loop for all open drawings? This is just a quick thought comes in my mind don't know realistic or not.
@PKENEWELL:
If I test your code in BricsCAD this line causes an error:Code: [Select](vla-regen acdoc)I have changed it to:Code: [Select](vla-regen acdoc acactiveviewport)
BricsCAD does not have an issue with:Code: [Select](vla-put-ActiveLayout doc aclay)
The following ALMOST works:Code: [Select];Zoom Extents *ALL* Document and layouts

if you comment out this lineCode: [Select](vla-put-ActiveLayout doc aclay)the code works but does not return the documents to the starting layout. I have not figured out why it errors on this yet. Anyone else have an idea?
This might be another topic but within Express Tools under Files. You can save all opened drawings in the current session. How does that work compared to what we are trying to do with this type of routine?
I guess my question is, what programming language is used with the express tool work? Is it a .NET thing? I guess something in the way the mechanics work.
Correct, as written previously, you are only zoom-extenting the current tab or layout. You need to process each layout separately.
Lee had written this up a few years ago

Oh, sorry it appears I mis-read. The zoom function is part of the application object within the document namespace which means the lisp routine is limited to the active document it is ran in.
I had to edit it a few times to try and word it correctly.

If restore.Name <> ThisDrawing.Name Then restore.ActivateHowever this does not seem to be doing the job to return focus to the calling document.Thanks MP! That does work and gives the OP an option using VBA.
The only minor thing I noticed is that - at least on my machine - the sub does not return the active document to the original.

Not sure why that's happening and don't have time to investigate. Could just force it, so ...

(I'm guessing) There's nominal speed gains to be realized by trying to leverage the values between calls as globals and it may be the source of the problem. As for the other question I cannot answer at present as I've only access to AutoCAD 2012 and 2015 currently. Thanks for your valued investigations in this thread. Cheers.

On the performance hit -- if you unload all the vba projects (this can be done programmatically) performance returns to normal even tho the vba editor is still alive. Cheers.Maybe I can not explain well (my english is not very good) ...
That performance hit is unfortunate if it cannot be resolved. Guess it means one has to be judicious in VB's use -- sometimes the performance hit is will be worth it when VB hosted automation yields big benefits, dumping the session when the tasks are complete.I used this method for over 10 years with VBA 32bit up to 64bit VBA arrival to avoid writing scripts and having a much better error control.
I believe you're getting the VL namespace mismatch error because you're trying to load lisp into a document that is not active.
Said another way, there's no guarantee documents.item(documents.count-1) will return the active document.
Have you tried:
Command: _.VBASTMT
Command: activedocument.sendcommand "(load ""ExeTest"") "
Cheers.
Marc my friend -- my brief observations with 2015 suggest documents.item(documents.count-1) is not reliable -- in particular if one has cycled to other drawings via [ctrl][tab] or [ctrl][shift][tab] or via the pull-down drawing selector after initial file loading -- whereas activedocument has proven consistent and reliable -- and why I shared in the hopes of helping you.Michael, -- Command: activedocument.sendcommand "(load ""ExeTest"") " load ExeTest.lsp in the starting document not in the new document just opened (that is what I want to do) maybe this can explain:
Did you try --
Command: _.VBASTMT
Command: activedocument.sendcommand "(load ""ExeTest"") "
I don't have 2017 at my disposal so I cannot test.
Off to check out some yoga pants ...

)I was thinking something like this . . . with you routine... ;)
I hope mine is a coherent question, is it possible to use your function _RunAll on many files without opening them all together? For example, to perform operations on hundreds of files and avoid the use of scripts?
