DWG to PDF

[gobluejd]

This is what I need to do:

Replace the Qsave command with a custom command that every time I save a DWG I want it to create a PDF in the background, save it like the exportpdf command does (names it the same filename - no layout info and save over an existing file if there is one).  It will always be saved to the same directory. 

Right now I can use autopublish, but it adds the name of the layout tab.  I need it to be just the acutal file name, for example - test.dwg = test.pdf.

Can anyone help me?

Try to copy/past the code in my previous post, in command line.

I did and all I get is this: (then I tried just (command "export") and get a response as mentioned in my last post).

Was the .pdf file created?

No.

Jeff,

as this is a 'mac' specific problem, try to post in AutoCAD for Mac General Discussion it will be easier to get some help on your code.

@hmsilva I am trying to add this to AutoCad 2020 and do not see that it is using the same file "acaddoc.lsp" that you modified for me some years ago.  Is there a way to still implement this?  I use use lsp 100x a day and can't live with out it!!!
