I have the expertise (though I haven't tried this yet) to do what you
suggest... however what about the rest of the content settings that don't seem
to be specified in the command string.
WHY... cause I am sick to death of slow performance, mostly and envading screen
real estate with a hog like DC. I am forever adjusting it's borders to see
what I am after not to mention waiting for it to come up. For borrowing
blocks, styles, linetypes, etc from other unopened drawings it is great but for
simply running some command string, or inserting a simple block from custom
content it really sucks.
