How to open thefile read-only using lisp.

hi ^^ i wondering how can i open the file(read-only) using lisp.

can it possible?

Yes it is possible .

Write the File Path of your desired drawing instead of the one that I attached .

(vl-load-com)
(defun c:Test nil
 (vla-open (vla-get-documents (vlax-get-acad-object))
           [b]"C:\\Users\\TOUCHMATE\\Desktop\\My Drawing.dwg"[/b]
           :vlax-true
 )
)

I USE THIS SOURCE THAT SCRIPT. FOR EXAMPLE

"

(vla-open (vla-get-documents (vlax-get-acad-object))

"C:\\a.dwg"

:vlax-true

)

CIRCLE

0,0

100,100

CLOSE

(vla-open (vla-get-documents (vlax-get-acad-object))

"C:\\B.dwg"

:vlax-true

)

CIRCLE

.

BUT IT DO NOT WORK T_T

I want make plot lisp using script and lisp

but if file already open , script error..

so i want file open(readonly) then plot and close without save.

lisp is so hard T T

You are using Lisp for such a useless things , why do not you open the file normally and after that run your scripts without including the vl codes

in that script file .

And why you are blaming codes since your script file rejecting the status of read only drawing ?
