Looking at you routine I had two problems. First was the language and the other was
the size of the routine. It is a bigger job than I am willing to tackle.
I did go through and change some of the code to show you other methods of doing
a particular task. I marked the code changes with ; CAB modified so you can look
at the changes. see the attachment.
Also here is some code that will get all the plot devices and there paper sizes.
I did not add it to your code. I think you can do that. Because the accusation of the
data is slow (very slow) I suggest you get all the data & hold it in a variable and
not try to get the paper size each time the user picks a new device. You could pop up
an alert box to ask the user to WAIT while the data is being colected.
But that is up to you to decide.
;; test to get all paper Sizes for all devices
(defun c:gps (/ ad )
(setq AD (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object)))
;;(setq pdlist (GetPlotDevices ad)) ; get all plot devices
;;(setq tmp (GetLocaleMediaName ad)) ; get current
(setq tmp (ListAllLocalMediaNames ad))
;; returns a list of all devices & list of there paper sizes
;; (( "device name1" ("papersize1" "papersize2" etc))
;; ( "device name2" ("papersize1" "papersize2" etc))
;; )
)
