Hello everyone!

Selecting the Plot command and includes the Batch Plot dialog box.

I didn't find a variable responsible for selecting options in this window...

How to select the options with lisp?

Do you want publish only specific layouts. . .

I want to select “continue to plot a single sheet”, but with lisp, without dialog box.
Maybe there is a variable?

Not sure what you want there are so many examples of plotting with lisp. Explain a bit more. I have at least 4 different ones.

I suspect you are just getting very distracted by this useless informational pop-up that has nothing to do with using PLOT or PUBLISH commands at all.

First, check this box to make it go away forever, it is useless, no one needs it ever, it is designed by a misguided programmer (select an option to continue)

Now all you need to use is PLOT command to go straight to PLOT command, or PUBLISH command to go straight to PUBLISH command. No need for LISP, those are the commands, you just don't need that garbage pop-up ever again.

If you want the LEARN MORE option then just tap the HELP button found on the pop-ups for each of those commands.

fix the problem (" that recovers after turning it off").

There is a problem with your write rights or with your windows profile handling.

Set up your Win-User as admin and try it again.

You need to fix your environment and not "a Lisp" what to edit just 1 of 100 problems- because of your real source problem.

Talk with your IT

This setting is stores in your C:\Users\<userid>\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\AutoCAD 20nn\<Rnnn>\<lang>\support\Profiles\fixedprofile.aws

if you turn this dialog off, close Plot dialog, start PLOT -> It isn't asking now, right?

leave the program,

&reopen the program, start plot command.

Is it asking now again?

In this case it is probably the case that AutoCAD could not write to the file.
Fix this bug instead of trying to find some workaround that would fix just one problem out of many.

But if the "reset" is not by program start, but by computer start (or Logoff/Login),

it is a win profile handling problem.

(setq echo (getvar "cmdecho"))
(setvar "cmdecho" 0)
(command "plot" "yes" "" "DWG TO PDF.PC3" "ANSI B (11.00 x 17.00 Inches)" ; prompts 01 thru 05
"" "" "" "" "" ; prompts 06 thru 10
"" "" "" "" "" ; prompts 11 thru 15
