ok....

for now i have found this..

To open a drawing :

(command "vbastmt" (strcat "AcadApplication.Documents.Open "
(chr 34) filen (chr 34)))
;where filen is a qualified path and filename


but if i make  (setq filen (getfiled...blah blah blah..))
the open dialog box is not the same ...

Try something along the line of

Code: [Select]

(defun openMe (/ fn)
  (if (setq fn (getfiled "Open drawing" "" "dwg" 8))
    (command "VBASTMT"
             (strcat "AutoCAD.Application.Documents.Open(\"" fn "\")")
    )
  )
)

Sorry all..

But I can't find a way to obtain the same dialog box when opening a drawing...

i'm lost...

[SMadsen]

Same dialog box as what?

[daron]

The standard one that opens normally, when you type open, with all the bells and whistles.
