Topic: Acessing Plotter Configuration Editor with ActiveX

[Grrr1337]

Hi guys,

I think I've seen being questioned before about creating custom paper size with autolisp.
But my question rather would be is it even possible to access this "Plotter Configuration Editor" - with activex (using vlax-create-object/vlax-get-or-create-object). 



I'm not very experienced when it goes on manipulating objects outside of the CAD application - but I'm curious, does such object (plotter cfg) exists at all.

I don't believe that is exposed through LISP

Looks like it can be opened only, like:

Code: [Select]

(startapp "pc3exe.exe" (getfiled "Specify pc3 file" "" "pc3" 0))or using the shell app:

Code: [Select]

(defun _openfile (file / sh)
    (if (findfile file)
      (progn (setq sh (vlax-get-or-create-object "Shell.Application"))
        (vlax-invoke-method sh 'open (findfile file))
        (vlax-release-object sh)
        file
      )
    )
  )

But its kinda sad that activex won't do the job.

Thanks, Vovka
Hopefully I'll figure out something about this in the future (I don't have enough experience at the moment).
