Topic: 2012 plotting preferences node

[Krushert]

Has anybody had a trouble in setting this tab with code for 2021?

If I manually enter the paths through the options dialog and then use the vla-get-function

Code: [Select]

  (SETQ READNODE (vla-GET-PrinterStyleSheetPath myFiles))I get

READNODE = "L:\\ACAD BUSINESS FILES\\CWS Plot Styles;C:\\ProgramData\\Autodesk\\ACA 2012\\enu\\Plotters\\Plot Styles"

Now if I try to set that very same stings with code like this piece of code

Code: [Select]

(defun c:TEST-PLOT-PREFS ()
  (vl-load-com)

;;; Getting locations of System and/or Application Folders and setting to Varaibles
  (setq myProfile (vla-get-preferences (vlax-get-acad-object)))
  (setq myFiles (vla-get-files myProfile))
  (setq ProgramData
(strcat "C:\\ProgramData\\Autodesk\\ACA 2012\\enu\\")
  )

;;; Setting Company Folder to variable                                                                  .
  (setq CWSCommonFolders (strcat "L:\\ACAD BUSINESS FILES"))

;;; Setting search path for Plot Styles node.
  (vla-PUT-PrinterStyleSheetPath
    myFiles
    (strcat
      (strcat CWSCommonFolders "\\CWS Plot Styles")
      ";"
      (strcat ProgramData "Plotters\\Plot Styles")
    )
  )
  (vlax-release-object myFiles) ; Release the object
)and I get this blow-back at the command line

Automation Error. Invalid Argument

If I take out either one of the paths, it works like a charm.   Something goofy I am missing,

FYI: With 2012 you are allowed to set multiple plotter "***" paths now.

Don't have it on hand, but from that I suspect the interface wasn't updated to parse multiple paths.  If so... whoopsie.

I am thinking the same.  Thanks!
