Dana W Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Do you realize you posted in the lisp forum? Is that what you are looking for, a lisp to run a multi--sheet plot from many drawings? If not, you can simply use the publish command. You can browse and add other drawings to one sheet list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmsilva Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 ... I am using design center –open file folder location –then select drawing –layout –drag my current dwg. This is okay but taking so much time any other way to do this please help me ... If I have understood correctly, maybe Lee Mac's "Steal from Drawing" do that you want to...

Dana W Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Asking the same question over again without explaining why the current suggested methods or solutions do not work for you, is not what I expected to see. One more time; Are you looking for a lisp program, or will the publish or batch plot options work? Have you looked into creating a sheet set?

manohar Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I am not a lisp programmer. I think i got what madhu wants. His whole drawing is divided into multiple sheets. Each sheet is saved as individual drawing . He is using Design centre to combine all the Sheets in to single drawing. Is there any other easy way to do this since his method is taking more time. i hope i conveyed better than him . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmsilva Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 121madhu, try the attached code, if you don't have any layout with the same name than those you gonna copy, will copy to the current dwg all layouts from selected dwg's. This routine uses Lee Mac's "Get Files Dialog" and "Steal from Drawing" download those routines and save the routines in a Support File Search Path directory. (defun c:test (/ a b files file) (if (and (setq a (findfile "GetFilesV1-3.lsp")) (load a) (setq b (findfile "StealV1-8.lsp")) (load b) (setq files (LM:getfiles "Select Files" nil "dwg")) ) (progn (foreach file files (Steal file (list (list "Layouts" (list "*")))) ) (command "_.regen") ) ) (princ) ) HTH Henrique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dana W Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 So what the user posted it in the wrong section nobody is perfect you should know thatI asked the OP a legitimate question. What I didn't ask for was for somebody to read an attitude into my post which I didn't have until this very minute. As you will see from posts #12 and #13, the OP did not post in the wrong section, even though nobody knew that until now, and my question was answered, FINALLY, even though not addressed directly.

manohar Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Why?Any error messages? Henrique Code in post #9 & LM's Lisp is working for me. Tested in ACAD2010. Thanks Henrique & Lee. It might help me in future. Lee Mac's "Steal from Drawing" is working(steel a layout) but this also doing one by one not taking entire folder this also same design center(ctrl+2) i need easy way using lisp to save my time because i have lots of folder to do this thank you Dear Madhu. Load Henrique's lisp last after loading LM's two lisp. I think this may due to both has test command with different function. or change the command name in Henrique's lisp.
