2 quick ones..

how do i use the plot dialog in a lisp routine?
how do i skip part of a lisp if that part does not apply to the drawing?
i.e.: i have a block called datetime that may or maynot be inserted into the
drawing at the time, i have a lisp that will insert the current time and
date into this block. i was going to add this lisp to a few others and then
plot. but if the current drawing does not have the datetime block i want it
to skip that one and go on to the next part of the lisp.

(if (ssget "x" (list '(0 . "INSERT") (cons 2 "YourBlockNameHere")))
;update the block
;else
;skip it.
)

You could use
(if (tblsearch "block" "YourBlockNameHere") etc....

But that only tests the database for the block definition, not if it is
inserted.

That should be
(initdia) (command ".plot")

okay a little help..

the lisp and block name are both datetime. if the drawing does not contain
such block i need it to skip that lisp and continue on..
my current lisp:
(defun c:PLOTTING ()

(c:DATETIME)

;makes the 0 layer current and makes all VP layers non-plot
(command "-layer" "thaw" "0" "MAKE" "0" "PLOT" "N" "vp*" "")

;opens the plot dialog box
(initdia)
(command "_.plot")
)

How about this:

(defun c:PLOTTING ()
(if (ssget "x" '((0 . "INSERT") (2 . "DATETIME")));<----If the block is
inserted
(c:DATETIME)
)

;makes the 0 layer current and makes all VP layers non-plot
(command "-layer" "thaw" "0" "MAKE" "0" "PLOT" "N" "vp*" "")

;opens the plot dialog box
(initdia)
(command "_.plot")
)

I don't see any reason why you are getting that type of error with that
code. Everything seems to function as expected as long as both functions
are loaded. Without the (C:DateTime) loaded you get an error (of course)
but the one that you are describing. Maybe something else on your end that
is fouling thing up.

That makes me think that there is something wrong with

(if (ssget "x" '((0 . "INSERT") (2 . "DATETIME")))
(c:DATETIME)
)

But it looks ok to me, and it works just fine on my system either way.
