change the lisp to without opening AutoCAD

[mruPRQUJ]

Hi, when running the attached lisp, it will open the AutoCAD. Is it possible to modify it without opening AutoCAD when running it? Thank you very much in advance. 🙂

any reason why you're not contacting the lisp code author to get your answer:

Hi Paul,

 I sent an email to the lisp code author a while ago, no response. I have sent an email to him again today, thank you very much for your response.

Hi Paul, I just received a reply from the lisp code author - Lee. Below is his reply,

The Whilst it's possible to use ObjectDBX to directly interface with the drawing database and make changes to attribute values in an unopened drawing (as implemented in my Global Attribute Editor), I abandoned the use of this technique when developing my Batch Attribute Editor, as the ObjectDBX interface has several known bugs.

• A misalignment of attribute references whose justification is set to something other than 'Left'
• The loss of the drawing thumbnail
• An inability to save the drawing in formats other than the native format (i.e. highest available version in the host application)

Many thanks.

There you have it right from the author as to why it’s not done.
