Topic: Batch LSP

[Monty]

Hey All,

I need to write a program that will open a directory of dwg's and run an lsp function on each.
I have looked at a couple and tried a few commands out and would like some help with the program design.

I have tried using the "open" command but that don't seem to work properly.
I see that someone created a "script" file.

What would you recommend as the most reliable scheme? I would prefer not using VB if I can avoid it.

Cheers.
M.

I've used a variation of >>this<< with much success.

Maybe, try to write temporarily acaddoc.lsp with lines that have to be automated when each *.dwg is opened, and try this c:test function >>>here<<<

Sure, ObjectDBX is the fastest, but I suggest this one, because it's simple and you don't have restrictions like with ODBX (no commands, no setting of sys variables, ... ). And beside that with my proposal you can save it as any file type of *.dwg that has thumbnail for previewing *.dwg when browsing...

Here is an old program of mine that may be of use: Script Writer

To run an arbitrary AutoLISP program, use the following 'Script Line':

Code: [Select]

_.open *file* (if (load "YourLISP.lsp" nil) (c:YourCommand)) _.qsave _.close
Where YourLISP.lsp is the AutoLISP file to be loaded and YourCommand is the AutoLISP command.

I've used a variation of >>this<< with much success.

Good to see it's still getting some use out of it.
