update title block

[oskar_blomster]

Hi
Im using the attached lisp script to change in a title block.
The script opens this box

to use it to change the title block i edit the script line to:  _.open *file* utb _.qsave _.close

How it works:
The title blocks headers is written into an Excell.csv file.
under eache header i change the text to what i want it to be.
The drawing directory is changed to the correct file search way.

Autocad sends an error about the "utb" part of the script line -" unknown command.
Even though when i serch for it its a known command and it has worked on another file.

What is the problem?

UTB is not a native AutoCad command, it's a LISP function that was developed by Lee Mac (the same person who developed the Script Writer). I suspect it's not autoloaded with every drawing, so thats why it's erroring out. Unless you hard-code it, it needs to be located in a support/trusted directory, and your script will need to change to:

_.open *file* (load "UpdateTitleBlockV1-9") utb _.qsave _.close

The red portion is the version. Change that to the version/name you are currently using.

If @DGCSCAD posting still doesn’t work try this alternative method of calling the utb lisp function:

_.open *file* (load "UpdateTitleBlockV1-9") (c:utb) _.qsave _.close

Thanks for the replays @DGSCAD and @paullimapa

Unfortunally did the changes in the scriptline not help me solve the problem.
Altough i did find a copy of LeeMacs script  that is edited and contains the variable utb.

Unforunally did it not change anything, i got a feeling im out in deep water in my efforts 😞

UPDATE!

Ive discoverd the problem!
The "include subdirectories" box does not work.
The excell.csv file have to be in the same map as the drawings.
If anybody has a solution to how to get the "include subdirectories" box to work it would be great.
