Need LISP help

hi guys have no real experance with lisps but very eger to lern.

I need to know if there is any thing out there that could do the following??

in the drawing - save as - (same filename)-pl.dwg (same location)

then i need to X-Ref the previous drawing in @ 0,0,0.

and rename the X-Ref as ARCH

if there was something out there that even done the first part that would be amazing and would greatly apprecate it.

Thanks..

You can achive that by AutoLISP; this example should get you started:

(vl-load-com)
(setq drawingOld (getvar "DWGNAME")
     drawingNew (strcat (getvar "DWGPREFIX")
                        (vl-filename-base drawingOld)
                        "-pl"
                        (vl-filename-extension drawingOld)))
(command "_SAVEAS" "" drawingNew)

thanks very much mircea great help

You’re welcome! Maybe it was better to continue the discussion here instead of starting a new thread since is the same mater.
