Script to exit dwg without saving

[MechMan_]

I've typed up a script that runs WBLOCK on a drawing. At the end of the script I want the drawing to close without saving any changes. I've tried using variations of:



(setvar "EXPERT" 2)(command "_.close") y



but the command line always get's stuck at:



Command: Really want to discard all changes to drawing?



How can I get my script to enter "Yes" to discard the changes without saving? It would seem to be such a simple thing to tell Acad to exit without saving but alas I've run into road blocks at every attempt. B-(

A script? Then why are you using LISP instructions? Try

CLOSE
Y

or use (command ".quit" "y")

[jlaidler]

(command "vbastmt" "activedocument.close false")

Because it's the only thing I've found to "almost" work. Your method gives me a window prompt to save & close. That's what I'm trying to avoid. I want to WBLOCK a drawing and have it close at the click of a button.

Works great to close all of Acad but I'm only wanting to close a single drawing at a time. I tried adapting it to use the "close" command but no dice.

BINGO!



Thanks jclaidler!

From the keyboard, yes; from a *script* *no*. Try it.

[jlaidler]

no problem

My apologies Paul. Right you are. I had tested it by just customizing a button with "close;y;" and it gave me prompts. I didn't know that the script would handle it differently.

Thanks.
