Lisp for inserting blocks without basic prompts

[Towel]

Hello,

everytime when im inserting a block it ask's for:
Specify insertion point or [Basepoint/Scale/X/Y/Z/Rotate]:
Enter X scale factor, specify opposite corner, or [Corner/XYZ] <1>:
Enter Y scale factor <use X scale factor>:
Specify rotation angle <0>:

Insertion point is usefull offcourse, but i want autocad to place the block immediatly without asking for scales en rotation angles. Is there any lisp who disable those prompts? And is there an tutorial how to apply a lisp?

Thank you!

Towel

Towel,

It can be done very easily. Just hang on while I go check what I have.

Why not just answer the questions re: scale and rotation in the Lisp routine by supplying the defaults?

Okay, here's a very basic lisp. But make sure the folder your blocks are in, is in the acad search path.

(defun c:bli ()
 (setq bname (getstring T "Block name? "))
 (setq pt (getpoint "insertion point? "))
 (command "-insert" bname pt 1.0 1.0 "")
)

Did, but still i have to enter x-factor, y-factor and rotation:

Command: _appload bli.lsp successfully loaded.

Enter Y scale factor <use X scale factor>:
Specify rotation angle <0>:

I just tested it. At the command line, type BLI, then fire away.

yeh sorry it works.. but now I have to do it by calling the name of the file . Cant it just be done by the old fashion way: drag block from windows explorer, pulldown menu or insert-block etc? Or should i change something in an .lsp that already excists?
