Turn sheet set off and on via lisp

[jwright1962]

Hello Forum:

is there a lisp or even the command that i can add to a toolbar button that toggles the sheet set palette on or off.   

thanks for replies in advance.

You can use lisp to check the following:

ssmstate

(getvar “ssmstate”)

if 0 then run command “sheetset” to open the ssm palette

(command “sheetset”)

if 1 then run command “sheetsethide” to close the ssm palette 

(command “sheetsethide”)

FYI:

When opening drawing set SSMAUTOOPEN to:

0 to not open ssm palette 

1 to open ssm palette

@jwright1962 ,

CTRL+4  ; turn on / off sheetset manager.

it is defined in CUI command under ACAD\Keyboard Shortcuts.

i have a very simple lisp that turns off all the palettes and then turns them back on via a toolbar button click.  was having trouble the sheetset.   thanks so much for your help

This is already part of the AutoCAD Ribbon UI... 'View' tab, 'Palettes' panel, 'Sheet Set Manager' button.

i guess i didn't realize that.   my goal was to gather all the palettes up and turn them on and off as group.   i have that now, and thanks again to the forum.  

Just as a side note, my screen space is somewhat limited.   i prefer to have the palettes on, generally speaking.  clicking them all on or all off one at a time as many times as i do it, just seemed a bit tedious.  much better now.

Glad you got what you were after.

For that, I just use Cleanscreen (Ctrl + 0). 

Cheers
