How to create a lisp onto doing a purge regapp/audit and purgevehicletracking and batch process it ?

[cyberflow]

Hi group,

I've been referenced by @Valentin_CAD to reach out to @Kent1Cooper on this forum about create a lisp tool that would help me batch process the cleaning of my files on a project.

I know how to do a simple lisp that calls out a command line command

The only thing that i see a challenge is to do the purgevehicletracking comand since it prompts the user.

I'd want to do an audit and a purge regapp too.

Anyone could guide me a bit on the tools available for batch process and the lisp part ?

The purge is easy bit use -purge so you would write a script that could be used to clean up dwgs, often you need more than 1 go of purge, say 3.

Just write down all the steps making them 1 line.

eg 

-purge

A

*

N

AUDIT

Y

In CIV3D there is purgestyles also. So a correct sequence needs to be used, the vehicletracking purge you say comes up with a dialouge ? Can you do a mini movie I dont have vehicletracking loaded.

yes you can lisp it also (command "-purge" "a" "*" "n" )

I know nothing about batch application of AutoLisp, nor about Vehicle Tracking.  There's a >Forum for that<, where you might find assistance.

Do you know a way to ignore a popup when calling a command ?
The "purgevehicletracking" command prompts users usually

Hi @Sea-Haven 
Thank you for replying one of the commands (purgevehicletracking) prompts the users and i'm not sure how to bypass that option in a command line format

Thank you for your idea, i've already done that using the (command "") function an managed to make it work.

Since it's not a native AutoCAD command, I couldn't say.  For native AutoCAD commands that use dialog boxes, most can be used without them [at the command line only] by prefixing the command name with a hyphen [-LAYER, for example], but a few dialog-box commands don't have that command-line-only option.

The Vehicle tracking is a Autodesk product, but as we know all the rules change, even in Autocad a command prompts and sequence were done by person A, the other command by person B different approach.

I could see you set filedia 0 did you try though as Kent suggested putting a "-" in front of the command, which I could not make out.

Hi all, 

Adding the hyphen "-" to the command stills brings up that popup again.
Unfortunatly !

I got a bit of deception that Autodesk didnt thought this one thru.
