Drawing list lisp

Hi, I wonder if one drawing list lisp can be created from the existing AutoCAD drawings.
Thank you very much in advance. 🙂

Do you mean a drawing with like a directory listing showing all the drawings in the current folder like dwg name, size, date ?

@mruPRQUJ  hi,

to create a list of files no lisp is need. you can google for applications that do that

or you can just use command prompt old and good DIR (directory) command to do it.

example:

c:\project01\dwg> dir *.dwg /b >michael.txt

this command will create (in 1 sec 🤣) "michael.txt" file containing a list of all dwg files in current folder.

[if you like, it can be called from any lisp program with (startapp) function]

the  > greater then character redirect the output to file (instead of the console\screen)

the /b is to eliminate all info except for the files name.

enjoy

This lisp has more features, it can be inserted into DWGS. But I tried it, it did not work. I may make a mistake, many thanks.
