CORE Console recognize AutoCAD Electrical LISP Commands?

[david.faunce]

I've been trying a few AutoCAD Electrical (2017) specific LISP commands in the AutoCAD Core Console and I'm not getting any response.

Example:

(c:wd_cpyprj_main (list "C:\\Users\\ussatdafa\\Desktop\\proj\\proj.wdp" "proj2.wdp" nil "C:\\Users\\ussatdafa\\Desktop\\proj2" "" "" nil nil))

This LISP command works great when I fire up ACADE and type this into the command line. However, when I launch just the AutoCAD Core Console (accoreconsole.exe), this command does nothing...

Does the Core Console only recognize Vanilla AutoCAD Lisp Commands? Is there a way to use ACADE LISP commands in the console?

Do a Google search on "autocad core console autolisp activex" and you will probably find the answer.

I don't know for sure, but I would guess that the "c:wd_cpyprj_main" function uses ActiveX functions, which apparently is not supported in Core Console (at least the 2013 version).

Stuff to run in the core console has to be in a CRX file, as it has to be independent of the UI.  I suspect that almost everything from the ACE program is in an ARX/DBX file.  There's a better discussion of this here: https://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=46813.msg518808#msg518808
