Topic: Reloading a specific xref on a bunch of draings

[diego65]

Once again I need your guys help.
What I am looking for is to be able to reload an unloaded reference file in a bunch of drawings located within a directory.
The code below is what I have but seems that I am missing something.
Any help will be very much appreciated it.


(defun c:reload ( )
    (LM:ODBX
        (function
            (lambda ( doc / xref name)
                ;(vlax-for lay (vla-get-layers doc)
      (vlax-for xref (vla-get- xref name)
        (if (wcmatch (strcase (vla-get-name xref)) "*|Road_Construction_City")
      (vla-put- reload xref :vlax-true)
                    )
                )
            )
        )
        nil t
    )
    (princ)                              
)
Thank you…

If I recall correctly, xrefs are not available/loaded when interfacing with a drawing through ObjectDBX - you may need to use a Script to perform this task.

Thank you Lee Mac,

Can you help me with that please?

Thank you...

If you write the code to reload the xref in a single drawing, you can use my old Script Writer program to evaluate your xref program across several drawings.

Thank you Lee Mac,

How deos this scrip works? I load as a .lsp file?

Just a quick glance .. but this will always be false:

Code: [Select]

(wcmatch (strcase (vla-get-name xref)) "*|Road_Construction_City")

the question is... Why?

xref's will be reloaded anytime the drawing is opened or edited.  An plotting/publishing counts as opening.

The reason is that our with our drawing’s template, we add most of our Digital Stamps such as Issue for construction, Preliminary not for construction and such.
All of these stamps are unloaded in our template but when drawings are to be sent out, we need to show of them depend on the stage of the project, going to every drawing and reload it manually is time consuming.
