Plot Using Lisp

My_Civil_3D — Sat, 22 Apr 2023 07:28:43 GMT

Hi guys i am busy creating a lisp that plots to a certain location using a certain name that gets extacted from the titleblock combined with other numbers. for this example im going to use a variable name only.

(defun c:test (/) (setvar "filedia" 0) (setq prnt "C\\PRINT\\00-0000-0000.pdf") (command "-plot" "y" "A0" "DWG To PDF.pc3" "ISO full bleed A0 (841.00 x 1189.00 MM)" "M" "L" "N" "E" "1=1" "C" "Y" "DRA.ctb" "Y" "N" "N" "N" prnt)

my question is how do you put the prnt variable in?

One problem you have is you're missing the colon after the drive letter.

Share your title block or provide title block name along with attribute tag where the name is stored for extraction

Something like this

(COMMAND "-PLOT" "Y" "" "DWG To PDF" "Iso full bleed A3 (420.00 x 297.00 MM)" "m" "LANDSCAPE" "N" "W" "-6,-6" "807,560" "1=2" "C" "y" "Acad.ctb" "Y" "n" "n" "n" pdfName "N" "y" )

This plots a range of layouts to a pdf directory under the dwg location. Just change the plot parameters to suit.

Save the multi getvals.lsp to a support path so can autoload.
