What changes do I have to make to the buttons that go to the previous and
next project drawings so that before changing drawings, it will zoom
extents?

I have tried a few different things in the code for the button but can't
seem to get it to work. I do not know lisp programming and I think that is
what is used for the button.

Here is the code on the button currently for the next project drawing
button:

^C^C^P(if(not wd_load)(if(setq x(findfile "wd_load.lsp"))(load
x)))(wd_load);(c:wd_proj_dnext)

If you have any suggestion, please let me know.

Thank you,

I finally got it to work. I put the code for the zoom extents button before
the code for the next drawing button so that it looked like this now:

'_zoom _e ^C^C^P(if(not wd_load)(if(setq x(findfile "wd_load.lsp"))(load
x)))(wd_load);(c:wd_proj_dnext)

Now, if I have made changes to the drawing, it will zoom extents before
saving the drawing to disk.

This appears to work. Give it a try:

^C^C^P(if(not wd_load)(if(setq x(findfile "wd_load.lsp"))(load
x)))(wd_load);_zoom e (c:wd_proj_dprev)

{I added the _zoom e }

Jared,

Where this file located?

Also, Instead of clicking the Next/Prev is it possible to turn it into a keyboard command?

The buttons they are talking about have macro's assigned to them. If you are wanting to view or modify the button assignments....do the following:
1) on the main menu....select "view"
2) then select "toolbars"
3) then select the "Properties" tab
4) select the toolbar button you wish to modify. in the case of this post they are discussing the next and previous drawing arrows in ACE.

Hope this helps
Marty
