Scriptpro Open and Shut

[daveyboyd]

Is there a way of stopping ScriptPro shutting Acad down after each drawing then starting it up for the next? Cant it just open Acad fly through the drawings and then shut Acad down?

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

Urgh. This annoys me as well.

Does SDI affect it?

i guess they made it like that for the purpose of when a certain drawing paused or hanged the timer will trigger to close cad and continue to the next drawing. But it's really annoying and time consuming to open and close the acad application.

Yeah, pretty sure you cant do it, SDI wont affect it either. I am sure I have used a program which doesn't do this though, cant remember what its called though, oh well

I don't know what SrciptPro is (I can guess) but I wrote my own script builder program. When I tried to get it to work in MDI more it was a nightmare. I couldn't find a way to keep the script running. Fortunately I always work in SDI mode and you can just open the next drawing in a single script so I don't have that problem.

 

Before I wrote my program we use to use excel to built our scripts which looked something like this....

 

open
"H:\Design_Office\e343\E343_T\02-CHAMBER_AREA\E343-02-GA-0001-01-T.dwg"
vbastmt
modDivex_2.UpdateBorder
qsave
open
"H:\Design_Office\e343\E343_T\02-CHAMBER_AREA\E343-02-GA-0010-01-T.dwg"
vbastmt
modDivex_2.UpdateBorder
qsave
resume

where you can see I open and close each drawing in turn.

That's why I use Superscript and not ScriptPro!

I use X-Batch for running the same commands (be there scripts, lisps, etc) across different drawings/folders.

With this, you don't need to specify within the script/lisp/etc what the drawings you wish to run the commands on; as there is a specific area of the X-Batch programme that deals with the selecting of the drawings/folders
