You're welcome Bernd, it was just a sketch code of the ideas expressed in the thread, I'm sure it could be greatly improved upon  :-)

Now the next thing would be (but here you need a reactor for and i don't like them) to close the docs once you close the dwg......

OpenDCL - Modeless Dialog - OnDocActivated (fires when closing or switching documents)
                                        EnteringNoDocState (just what it says)

Dialog could be used as a GUI or made invisible to just utilize the Events.

just a thought.

OK, so I got sucked into a challenge and now I can't back out!

I haven't done dictionary stuff in a while: I'm attempting to store a list of drawing names but can't seem to figure it out.  (cons 3 dwgList) returns (3 "dwg1" "dwg2") and errors while entmaking. 

Lee, I saw you used ldata: I stay as far away from that as possible.  I don't know if they fixed that but I had a slew of drawings corrupted back in 2004 thanks to Ldata (so did a lot of other people).

So whats the best way to store associated drawings?

Oh, a little teaser:

You could store them as Xrecords within a custom dictionary within the drawings.

Oh right - that's news to me, thanks James. I see quite a few other guys here use LData, so I thought it might be the way to go  :-)

Tim, that's what I'm trying to do.  I get caught up with:

(cons 3 dwgList) returns (3 "dwg1" "dwg2") and errors while entmaking. 

Lee, maybe they fixed it - but once burned . . ..

Thanks for any help!

I find data dictionaries and XRecords easier to manage through (vla-...), if that helps.  The "collection" nature of the dictionary makes it a little easier to follow than with individual DXF dotted pairs.

Maybe this by MP will help.

Ok, I guess I'll punt:

(cons 3 dwglist)

returns

(3 . "Drawing1.dwg;Drawing2.dwg;Drawing3.dwg")<-- note this is one string, the files seperated by a smi-colon.  I'll parse the string that way.

See what I'm getting at?

if dwglist were a list of strings: (setq  dwgList(list "Drawing1.dwg" "Drawing2.dwg" "Drawing3.dwg"))

I am unable to create the proper assosiation with (cons 3 dwgList):

That returns (3 "Drawing1.dwg" "Drawing2.dwg" "Drawing3.dwg")

What about a list?
eg.
Code: [Select]
(cons 3 (list dwglist))
