copy string to clipboard

[robert06]

How to copy a string - etc 'dwgname' variable - to windows clipboard in lisp?

Klicking a folder shortcut during "saveas" destroys dwg name, so it would be good to have it on clipboard, when issuing the custom saveas command.

At AutoCAD command prompt, type DWGNAME

Use the mouse to select the returned drawing name in the Command Line and then hit Ctrl+C keyboard combination to copy to clipboard.
