Macro Not Found Environment Variable -VBARUN

Anonymous — Mon, 18 Jul 2016 04:11:05 GMT

Hi All, I am trying to perform a -vbarun on an environment variable path for a macro I created however im getting an error message 'Marco Not Found'. Below is the path i am putting into the command line, including quotations to allow for spaces in path code: “Environ("APPDATA") & "\DD\AC\2017\getAttr.dvb!mdlGeneral.setupPaths”” The Environment Variable "APPDATA" = C:\Users\username\AppData When I enter the path location in not using the environ variable the macro is found and works fine. C:\Users\username\AppData\DD\AC\2017\getAttr.dvb!mdlGeneral.setupPaths can an environment variable path be used in -vbarun operation? any help would be greatley appreciated thanks, Josh

Environment variables need to be enclosed in per/cent signs.

Environ("%AppData%")

Hi Ed, thanks for your help, but unfortunatley that was not successful. can environment variables be used through the autocad command line? thanks Josh

I made a mistake with the last post. I misread what you are trying to do. The Environ function doesn't use %, just the variable name in quotes. But it can only evaluate in the vba context, not at the command line. The command line can evaluate lisp though. Try this:

-vbarun (strcat (getenv "appdata") "\\DD\\AC\\2017\\getAttr.dvb!mdlGeneral.setupPaths”)

I haven't tested the syntax, but you should get the idea.
