Run maptrim in a script?

Anonymous — Tue, 06 Mar 2018 19:19:55 GMT

I am trying to run maptrim command to trim everything outside of a closed polyline in a number of dwgs from a script (SCR) but not having any luck. Can someone help?

I think what CMDDIA blocked the procedure: Dialog box is inoperante in script.

You can try for exemple this (adjust it):

((lambda ( / )
	(setvar "CMDDIA" 0)
	(command "MAPTRIM")
	(while (not (zerop (getvar "CMDACTIVE")))
		(command pause)
	)
	(setvar "CMDDIA" 1)
))

CMDDIA 0 fixed the problem!

Thanks for your help!

My script was simply:

CMDDIA 0
MAPTRIM S L N N O
N N D Y
CMDDIA 1
