script plotting to pdf
« on: July 29, 2009, 09:11:42 AM »
Hello there,

is there a way to plot to pdf in Acad 2006 through a script? The Cutepdf  and the Pdf creator i use always come up with a dialog and ask for the filename.

Thanks in advance

Bernd

Not sure what exactly it is you are looking for but have a look at some of the 'ghostscript' topics from this.

Whether or not a dialog appears is a function of the driver. Most of the freebies don't give you many choices. AcroPlot works great.

Code: [Select]
Mark,

i was busy on a big job designing only, so i had no time for the "nice" work.

i have downloaded a trial of AcroPlot. It looks nice, but i want to print out of lisp, like that

[code(command "-plot"          "y"              ""
                   "DWF6 ePlot.pc3"
                   "ISO A3 (297.00 x 420.00 MM)"     "m"
                   "P"              "n"              "W"
                   lio              reb              "fit"
                   "0,0"            "Y"              "W.ctb"
                   "y"  ""   NAME        "y"   "y"    "y")

Anybody any ideas, please?

Then you need a PDF driver that you can configure to withhold the dialog.
