Lisp required to find out the layout size without opening all the CAD files

Hi,

 

We have multiple CAD files with different layout size (A0,A1...). We need to quickly find out the layout sheet size without open the CAD files individually. Is possible to create Autolisp?

 

Regards,

Bala

Thanks

Here’s a thread that provides lisp code to get a list of layout names in a drawing without opening it but not a way to determine what paper size it’s set to plot unless it’s named to match in the layout name

@Manicbala  hi,

 

Some questions arises here:

Does these layouts already assigned a media? cause if they not, then how do you expect a program can decide media size? it depend on the scale? it depend on title block?

if your layout size are based on canonical media names, you may get them using objectdbx.
