Open drawing with CTRL-N

Hi,

 

I would like to open a specified drawing when I push CTRL-N.

 

The drawing that I would like to open with this command is located on our serven at adress \\SERVERBOOM\DataBoom\BOOM\Jobs\ACad Sjablonen\Rikkes\Start.dwg.

 

Now in the CUI, I changed the CTRL-N command to this ^C^C_open;"\\SERVERBOOM\DataBoom\BOOM\Jobs\ACad Sjablonen\Rikkes\Start.dwg";^C^C but that doesn't work.

 

Where did I go wrong?

 

Thx

 

Rikkes

Try this:

 

^C^C(startapp "explorer" (findfile "//SERVERBOOM/DataBoom/BOOM/Jobs/ACad Sjablonen/Rikkes/Start.dwg"))

If "SERVERBOOM" has been mapped on your machine is will have a letter associated with it. Use that inplace of //SERVERBOOM.

 

For example if it were called your "I" drive

 

^C^C(startapp "explorer" (findfile "I:/DataBoom/BOOM/Jobs/ACad Sjablonen/Rikkes/Start.dwg"))

You just gave this guy the code to detonate explosives remotely through his AutoCad!  😛

Steve, what do you mean by this? Is it a problem to use that code?

He's just kidding, notice the silly face.

I use this method to launch excel files and other programs from AutoCAD frequently.
