I have a lisp that basically just Wblocks selected items out. The user selects the items & adds the file name using DCL. I would like to be able to open the Wblock drawing that is created & have some automated stuff done in that drawing as well. However, as you know, the lisp being ran stops when the Wblock drawing is opened. I tried using a script to call the first Lisp. This lisp creates the Wblock & opens it (I don't think I can pass the DWG name to the script so I have the lisp open it). Then I tried to run the second lisp. I have never created a script before but reading on the web it looked easy. But it's like when the DCL of the first lisp opens the script dies. Do I need some sort of delay giving the user time to select the object?
I'm sure I could do all that need to be done in the drawing before the objects are wblocked out. But, if it opened the wblock drawing & did everything, the user could see that it was successful. I thought about writing to the command line the number of items blocked out but I liked it the other idea better.
Thanks for the help
