User Post not working in Drawing List Report

rcooper9QDTF — Tue, 26 Oct 2021 17:29:53 GMT

For AutoCAD Electrical 2022:
I'm trying to concatenate the DWGDESC1, DWGDESC2, and DWGDESC3 in the Drawing List Report.
I downloaded the dwglst.lsp and dwglst.dcl (as the dwglst.zip file found in this post https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-electrical-forum/drawing-list-report-lsp-routine/td-p/5418661)
I copied the .lsp and .dcl files into C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2022\Acade\Support\en-US\Shared. But when I try to use the User Post, it opens the Report Data Post-processing Options window, I check the second box and hit OK, the Post-Processing window opens again, and no matter what I check, it gives "error: bad argument type: consp "{first drawing's name}" in the command line and the Drawing List Report cancels itself.

After searching through the forums, I came across the suggestion of deleting the dwglst.set file that should be in C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\AutoCAD Electrical 2022\R24.1\enu\Support\User. But the only things close to that are a DWGLST._MP and a DWGLST.TMP.

What am I doing wrong?

I'm not sure this is relevant, but I am using a custom made .wdt file.

@PatMurnen_Adsk
Do you have any insights on this?

Hi, a few releases ago (maybe even 2016), the code in the sample user post files changed to add support for running them as part of Automatic Reports. So my guess is that the .lsp file you downloaded from the old thread is using the older user post format. I can take a look at what it is doing and try and incorporate it into the newer format. Once I have something for you to try I will upload it here and you can test it.

Actually, after reading through that older post it looks like both versions of the .lsp file are there, pre-2015 and post-2015. Did you try the later one? I've reattached it here. It worked for me on AutoCAD Electrical 2022. The .dcl should work on any release.

That .lsp did the trick.

Thank you very much!
