LISP OR SCRIPT FOR CHANGING INDEXCTL ON MULTIPLE FILES

henry — Tue, 02 Jun 2020 15:47:50 GMT

I have several XREFS in a drawing and I would like to be able to change INDEXCTL to "2" on all of them in a single directory without opening the files because they are large and time consuming to open. Can anyone offer a script or lisp to do this. I am on ACAD 2018.

Thank you!

This should be an easy one for the people over in the LISP and Customization forum.

Our JTB SmartBatch app can change this variable. See Variables tab in Settings.

Thanks for the tip. I tried this but when installing it said I did not have adequate rights even though I am the administrator and this is an unshared desktop. I will try again tomorrow after reboot.

Thanks!
