SETTING PC2 WITHOUT PLOTTING

[Anonymous]

Can someone please tell me how to open a PC2 file through the command line
WITHOUT plotting? I would be ever so grateful. (I'm using R14) Thanks.

Do everything as you would if you were plotting the dwg, but just don't
proceed with the plot.

Thanks Kevin, but how do I cancel out of the plot through lisp and still
continue with my lisp.
I get the screen options as follow:

0. No changes, proceed to Plot
1. Merge partial configuration from .pcp file
2. Replace configuration from .pc2 file
3. Save partial configuration as .pcp file
4. Save configuration as .pc2 file
5. Detailed plot configuration

Enter choice, 0-5 <0>:

I want to cancel out of this but still continue with my lisp. I'm just
wanting to load a PC2 and preview the plot. Not plot it...

It's been awhile since I've used R14 and can't remember all of the syntax
for the Plot command. You should however, be able to cancel out of the
command by issuing a (command)

example:
(command "plot" "do your stuff")
(command)

I tried it, and it seemed to work. It cancels out of the plot command but it
just reverted back to whatever pc2 configuration was set as current before i
ran the lisp. Kind of frustrating. I just want to open(not overwrite the
current plot setting) a PC2 at the command line and set it as current. I
know I can do it through the dialogs, but I'm really wanting to do it
through lisp. Thanks for your help Kevin.

Sorry. I tried. I know that you can do this with A2K+ and I think I
remember being able to do this with R12. But it just been way to long since
I've used them that I can't remember the syntax and what you can and can't
do.

Hopefully someone will pipe in that still has a copy of R14 laying around.

The way I get around this in R14 is to PLOT a very small window. Normally
nothing comes out of the plotter and all my settings get saved. Good thing
they added the Page Setup dialog to R15, there should have been an APPLY
button on the plot dialog all along.

The plotting window is not something i want to do. I've got a PC2 file that
has ALL of my plot settings (including a plot window). I guess I'll have to
do it manually until I upgrade.
Thanks for the feedback.
