no..i am asking for mess reminder.

i am given some mess.please see the sample

11.30AM "Message is XYZ."

01.00PM "Message is ABC."

04.00PM "Message is EFG."

what ever i am updating to txt ifile t should read that time and as per that system time its need to remind.suppose as per 1 st mess while system time is coming 11.30AM that time Message is XYZ should be display.

If I need a reminder to do something I put it in MS Outlook or some such program and not in AutoCAD.

What kind of reminder message do you want the user to see? Give us an example.

Take out the trash.

Purge your drawing.

Walk the dog.

Audit your drawing.

Get the boss a cup of coffee. Now!

Save files to the network before leaving at the end of your shift.

You could write a command reactor and have it check the time to a list of times and messages and if one matches, have it display.

eg.

(defun foo (/ lst msg)
 (setq lst '(("1100" . "Hey, it's 11am")
             ("1200" . "Hey, it's 12pm")
             ("1730" . "Hey, it's 5:30 pm")
            )
 )
 (if (setq msg (cdr (assoc (substr (rtos (getvar 'cdate) 2 0) 5) lst)))
   (princ (strcat "\n" msg))
 )
 (princ)
)

each and every hour i want some reminder mess what ever we are mention.because we r handling more projects.so we are fixing 11.00AM Capturing

12.00PM Quality Check Assign

1.00PM Final QC assign

2.00PM Data deliver

This mentioned message i want to show.(Its need to work with as per the System time)

You could write a command reactor and have it check the time to a list of times and messages and if one matches, have it display.

 

eg.

(defun foo (/ lst msg)
 (setq lst '(("1100" . "Hey, it's 11am")
             ("1200" . "Hey, it's 12pm")
             ("1730" . "Hey, it's 5:30 pm")
            )
 )
 (if (setq msg (cdr (assoc (substr (rtos (getvar 'cdate) 2 0) 5) lst)))
   (princ (strcat "\n" msg))
 )
 (princ)
)

how to use this?("1100" . "Hey, it's 11am")Here 1100 means what is this?And after open the cad we have to load thats all?

1100 means 11:00am.

This is not a completed routine, you would need to write a command reactor to activate a subroutine similar to what I've provided.

Alan, I think your retrieval of the CDATE Sys Var is slightly off, better perhaps:

(menucmd "m=$(edtime,$(getvar,DATE),HHMM)")

Maybe you can glean something from this:

Doesn't matter, clearly he has no interest in coding it himself.

maybe he doesnt have MSoutlook, did you ever think of that?

Yes I did. It's covered by the words "some such program". So your point is?

I bet this guy is a real hit in the office.

If someone put this program on my machine or executed it over a network I'd find a way to disable it....fast. Do users really need constant interruptions? Aren't there enough distractions to overcome already?

johnpieter,

I cannot help but notice all these multiple threads you are posting as well as an uncanny writting style with comments and explainations that do not make any sense. Seems to resemble a banned member here. But I am sure it will all come out in the wash at some point.

Could it be deja vu all over again? Please say it isn't so. Have we been "punked'?

ReMark,

Not sure, But I was right about it twice before and I thought I would go for broke. When I posted code on another one of his threads, He no longer replied. He knows that I know. On top of that it also seems that while he tries to change things up, He still leaves all the same clues.

Surely CADTutor isnt banning people because of poor English, right?

Oh ReMark, i haven't heard of a program called "some such".. Is that an Apple product?

Oh wait... Does CADTutor ban people because of excess sarcasm? Im toast!

You would have to of been there to understand whats going on.

I don't think the person being referred to was banned. At least I don't recall that he was. Let's just say he was shunned. He did some things he shouldn't have done with someone's code and he failed to follow certain code posting rules after having been instructed to do so several (that's being kind) times. To top it all off he came off as demanding. His English was difficult to comprehend but I don't think we held that against him. We seem to make do even when language barriers get in the way. He tried to sneak his way back in but was discovered rather quickly.
