acroplot routine
« on: February 24, 2014, 04:55:20 PM »
Hey All
I was hoping to find some information about creating a custom routine to run acroplot.
I simply wanted to be able to force a batch pdf of all dwgs in the current dwgs windows directory, which acro plot can do quite easily via it's dialogs, but I was hoping to take care of all of the legwork and give our cad manager a one-click button that would create a multiple-sheet single-pdf of all the drawings that are in the current drawings directory.
But google and the 'search' utilities of the common LISP forums have turned up shockingly little.
If anyone has done this before or knows how I could accomplish such, please inform! And thanks!

Did you see this;

  '**********************************************VERY IMPORTANT*****************************************************

   'If you have a 50 user or site license then use the unlock code we provide you here so the filename dialog does not popup.

   'Other users will have the file dialog popup per our standard licensing which only allows full access to the API for 50 and more users.

   '**********************************************VERY IMPORTANT*****************************************************

This is from the AcroPlot help CHM

I have the 2010 version, not sure what updates have been made since, it does not seem as though it is capable of being manipulated through command line switches...

I see. Thank you.
I was more after a pre-determined set of parameters (dwg directory) and how to feed them to acroplot, if that is at all possible
