purge problem script

[Anonymous]

Dear all,

For making life simple I am trying to make a script for all the "standerd things to do before closing" the drawing.

I got this far:

Zoom
E
Pdmode
0
Grid
2
Grid
Off
-Layer
Set
0
-PURGE
A

*

N
-qsave

It works until -purge and the commandline gives me error: Invalid option keyword

I tried: (, is enter)

-purge, A,*,N

-purge, ALL, *, N

-purge, A, O

and every other combination I could imagine.

I have no idea what I am doing wrong and we can not use LIPS at work (security deletes LISP routines...) but I only find LISP solutions. Hope somebody can help.

Dear regards,

Esther

You have not completed the LAYER command.  It's -PURGE that is an invalid option in LAYER.  Add a blank line to supply the Enter to finish LAYER:

....

-Layer
Set
0

-PURGE
A

....

I had the feeling that it was something as simple as that =). Thanks a lot!

Not sure how you talk to each other "we can not use LIPS at work"

Anyway you can put lisp in a script can help with end commands problem.

(setvar 'clayer "0")
(command "-purge" "a" "*" "n")

Another option, since System Variable names can be used as if they were commands, and using the CLAYER System Variable that way doesn't require the extra Enter to finish it, as the LAYER command does:

....

Grid

Off
CLAYER

0
-PURGE
A

....
