How to use -Insert

[Jason-Cad-123]

I am trying to write a script and I need some help.

I need to inset a block using -insert. Then i need to specify a file path and then the block name.

File path: svr\access\test\revision

Block name

P2.scr

What do you type at the command line after you type -INSERT? Scripts are just that, what you can type and get to work at the commandline.

As Dean said, a script contains the same thing you'd enter at the command line.  The simplest way to get what you need is to open notepad and acad.  Then do the first one manually and start entering the info into acad -- start with -insert.  Then everytime you press enter, type the same exact thing in notepad (every time you hit enter in acad, that belongs on a new line in notepad).  Then after you're done with the first one, you should be able to save and use your script file.

After that, if you still have issues, come back and ask.

Hello

You have written ---> File path: svr\access\test\revision

It could be --> File path: \\svr\access\test\revision

if \\srv is the hostname of your Server !?

Bye, Pat

-insert C:/svr/access/test/revision/p2 0,0 1 1 0 Assumptions: the file is on your C drive, if not use the correct one. The block is named P2, if not substitute for the correct one. Insertion point is 0,0, scale of X and Y is 1, rotation is 0.
