Check last modified date on block .dwg

[ARGV]

Hey y'all,

 

Now I'm working on something that will insert blocks via. vla-insertblock subr. However, I would *like* for it to, if it finds the name of the block already in the drawing, to check the modified date of the block drawing before inserting.

 

If the block.dwg is newer than the drawing.dwg, then it should issue a warning that the block might be modified and come up with a yes/no button to continue inserting/updating the drawing with the new block. Otherwise, if the block.dwg is older than the drawing, then just insert it quietly.

 

does that make any sense?

 

thanks,
