Run Lisp on Multiple Drawings

[Travis.Biddle]

I want to run a certain lisp (importmb.lsp) on multiple drawings (hundreds of drawings at times). I have downloaded ScriptPro as this seemed to be what I needed, but I can not figure out how to get it to run the lisp through script. Based on research, this is what my script file is, which I assume is the problem. (load "C:\\support\\importmb.lsp") importmb quit y I load the script into ScriptPro, select which drawings I want to run it on, it opens AutoCAD, but then nothing happens. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

yes you should have a qsave and a close at the end.
(command "_qsave")
(command "_close")

Try using this -  AutoRunLisp 

Maybe this will help you.

I Played around a bit with scriptwriter today.
As a test I copied the script directly from the website “_.open *file* _.circle 0,0,0 5 _.save _Y _.close ” it worked fine, all the drawings on my desktop now have circles at 0,0.
Tried it again substituting, “zoom e “ for just this part “circle 0,0,0 5 “ and it worked.
I suspect the script can not have close in it.

Depending on what you have done both Close and Close Y are valid more than likely needs the Y.

I've never used ScriptPro, but what I see is that your code is only defining an AutoLisp command function.  This will not automatically run itself, so perhaps you have to add to your script (C:<I forgot its name>).

He is loading then running lisp defun "importmb"

 (load "C:\\support\\importmb.lsp") importmb quit y

as you say maybe 

(load "C:\\support\\importmb.lsp") (c:importmb) quit y

So some other problem.
