export to dgn

[jcflint]

I have some lisp so that I can script plots to .pdf, I am also trying to export to .dgn in the same command. I cannot figure out how to turn off the "Export DGN Settings" dialog box. I have turned the filedia to "0" and this does not get it, can anyone help with this? Thanks in advance.

Are you using an add-on utility to export to dgn from AutoCAD?
What version of AutoCAD are you using?
What is the command to export to DGN?

I am using 2008 here is the jist of what I am trying to do:

(defun c:2dgn ( / )
(command "filedia" "0")
(command "export" "c:\\misc stuff\\test.dgn")
);defun

the only utility that I am using along with this is the ScritpPro to script my drawings.

Change:
(command "filedia" "0")
To:
(setvar "filedia" "0")
.. and add-in
(initdia 0)
.. before export command.

I changed it to:
(defun C:2DGN ( / )
(setvar "filedia" "0")
(initdia 0)
(command "export" "c:\\misc stuff\\test.dgn")
);defun

and it is still poping up.

Ok,
then try changing:
(command "export" "c:\\misc stuff\\test.dgn")
To:
(command "-export" "c:\\misc stuff\\test.dgn")

If that doesn't work, I guess I don't know.

If the function is set to use a dialog and has no command line version, you are out of luck.

Unfortunately, that is exactly the case. There is no command line only
version of dgn export (or import for that matter). This is something that
we are aware is a problem. More I cannot say. 🙂
