Lisp that needs manual input

M_c3d — Wed, 01 Sep 2021 02:18:32 GMT

Hi All,

I am trying to create a lisp that can be ran as part of a script to attach the reference templates to an existing job with about 100 drawings.

(defun c:reftemplate()
(command "_.-AttachReferenceTemplate" "J:\\Civil 3d\\Master Templates\\2020\\2020 Master Template.dwt")
)

The lisp opens the dialog box but doesn't then go onto the add reference template button. I'm guessing some sort of link is missing between the command and the input

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

As I understand it -

Autodesk has not provided a Command Line version of any Reference Template functionality, which stinks, as we cannot even use Core Console + Script to then apply desired settings, etc to one or more drawings at once.

TBH, last I saw, they've not even exposed this ability to .NET API, unless a recent C3D Update expanded the API, by chance.

Can't find it in 2025 API.
