vla-close and vla-open

[Anonymous]

Hi all, I have almost 300 drawings that I need to open, do few things there, closing with saving. I run a single document variable mode. I tried (vla-close myDoc :vlax-true) but it says my drawing is busy... if someone could save me same time on this it will be greatly appreciated. Odie

Are you in the current doc? Then consider switching to another doc.

This kind of thing is fairy easy with scripts. Its ok to run a lisp from a script, I do it all the time. Then you can just issue a qsave, then a close statement. Lisps and VBA's run into lots of hangups when trying to close a drawing with SDI set to 0. They think of themselves as being run under a drawing so they quit when the drawing closes. You should jump to using scripts when you want to close and open another drawing.
