Hi all, Does anybody know how to build one autolisp routine which invokes both script command and load a lot of other autolisp subroutines in such way that then with one command I can run e.g. batch plot through many drawings without repeat (load "routine1") (routine1) (load "routine2") (routine2) and many subsidiary lisp files. S=E5 far it does work but seems to be for me too clumsy. Here comes my present and working system:
(defun C:PLOTIT () ... (command "-plot" "Yes" (getvar "CTAB") "DWG To PDF.pc3" "ISO A1 (594.00 x 841.00 MM)" "M" "L" "Y" "E" "1:1" "Center" "Y" "monochrome.ctb" "Y" "N" "N" "N" plotname "Y" "Y") ... )
(defun C:MAKEPLOT ( ) ;;; creates scriptfile (open "scriptfile" "w") (write-line "(load \"C:\\\\PLOTIT.lsp\")" "scriptfile") (write-line "PLOTIT" "scriptfile") ... ... (close "scriptfile")
;;; runs scriptfile (command "script" "scriptfile")
)
When I load and run MAKEPLOT it works perfectly!
Now, what I want to avoid is repeating (write-line "(load \"C:\\\ \PLOTIT.lsp\")" "scriptfile") in my scriptfile and move the PLOTIT subroutine into the host file MAKEPLOT, like this: (defun C:MAKEPLOT ( )
(defun PLOTIT () ... (command "-plot" "Yes" (getvar "CTAB") "DWG To PDF.pc3" "ISO A1 (594.00 x 841.00 MM)" "M" "L" "Y" "E" "1:1" "Center" "Y" "monochrome.ctb" "Y" "N" "N" "N" plotname "Y" "Y") ... )
;;; creates scriptfile (open "scriptfile" "w") ;;; (write-line "(load \"C:\\\\PLOTIT.lsp\")" "scriptfile") (write-line "PLOTIT" "scriptfile") ... ... (close "scriptfile")
;;; runs scriptfile (command "script" "scriptfile")
) It works but only on the first drawing and after this stops with the meassge 'PLOTIT' unkown command.
Any idea how to workaround the problem?
