Set Pipe Network Part Catalog via LISP

[alderliesteng]

Does anyone know of a way to set the pipe network catalog path using a LISP routine or other script file?  We switch between catalogs quite often.  It is time consuming to browse folders.

I was hoping for this also.

I suspect you could brute-force it since there doesn't appear to be a command line version of the command "SetNetworkCatalog".

Set the desired settings, export this key, and repeat for each set of settings.

Then import the .REG file as needed.

Thanks.  That looks promising.  I posted that question two year ago and had forgotten about.  However if the solution in the newer post you linked to works that would certainly be valuable.

I also just added the "wish" in the C3D Ideastation too.

For now -- I think I'm going to go with the REG file and import it at machine startup/login via group policy. The fewer things AutoCAD has to do at startup, the better....
