Topic: Dwgprefix set as projectname 'current'

[lamarn]

I am trying to set my current DWG supported
as projectname:current with DWGprefix as the registry entry.
So if it is loaded at opening of dwg i have a support directory at the same level.
I thought this might be handy for hatch pattern and fonts etc. to be supporteed

Found some material but it does not seem to work.
Any experience or idea's would be welcome

Lets try to clarify :

You have a drawing named : ?
At this Path : ?
And you want to do exactly what. ?

I want to set the directory of my opened drawing to the list of support directories.
Not really a super special thought..

I want to set the directory of my opened drawing to the list of support directories.

... In order to accomplish what, specifically, that you are currently unable to do?

Cheers

By default AutoCAD will find files within the current directory .. so no need to add it to the support paths.
Little test:

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]

1. (vl-every '(lambda (file) (findfile file)) (vl-directory-files (getvar 'dwgprefix) nil 1))

Ok thanks.
If that's the case it won't be nessescary.
But i have some doubt it worsk with all extension types..

You still haven't clarified what you're trying to do. 

What file extensions are you attempting to make AutoCAD 'find' in DWGPREFIX that it cannot already?

[lamarn]

.pat files but i noticed that these are recogniced afterwards.
(Revit produces a lot of .pat files.. need to get a grip on them)

oh, you're asking about Revit, well that's different
