Need PageSetup Help...
We deal with clients with versions 12 thru Acad2000.
When opening drawings from earlier versions, PageSetup names
are not included...We plot many of these drawings, hundreds of them.
What I would like to do...
1. While opening a drawing, find out if it contains a PageSetup name.
2. If it does, set that name current in plot dialog box...
I have tried this in vba, but have not been successful.
In chapter 7 of the DXF manual, PlotSettings is an object and there is
a setting for the page setup name. I have tried entget and ssget but
that does not get down far enough to cdr out the name...
If it is possible, I would like to use something like this...
(if (= (tblsearch "Layer" "Name") "Name") (do_something))
I understand finding the Plotsetting is more difficult,
but that is still the idea.
We have 9 separate print and plot setups for different departments.
I am using this line now for each output device.
(vl-cmdf "_.-psetupin" "H:\\CUSTOM\\PARAGON\\R15_P_INSTR\\ACAD"
"HP8000N")
This method will not make the setup current and seems slow...
Any suggestions?????????
