qsave lisp.. will this work?

[its_ikon]

I was thinking of writing a lisp where I can undefine qsave and than redefine the same command, but have it purge the drawing in the new function. My question is if I do this will hitting ctrl+s to save initiate same lisp?

I suppose I wouldn't go about redefining the qsave command. You don't need to. You want to hit ctrl+s and have it purge and then save right? You should write your Lisp to do just that. Then through your CUI setup your ctrl+s to execute your lisp routine. Just a thought is all.

I didn't even think about that. That seems like it might be a more logical option. I am just trying to solve that problem where people can't seem to remember to keep their drawings cleaned up.

 

the downside I see is that if I modify the cui file than I need to do that on all the workstations one by one versus sending out an update that can be done by the user. Unless I am missing a way to update the cui files in a similar way.

Just run a purge from your acaddoc at startup.

Please take into consideration that by calling PURGE at first save you may discard useful content that you may later find that need them. If you will do only one save per drawing, this will never be a problem, but what will happened when work on a big drawing that will require many intermediate saves?

its_ikon, why don't you use reactors?
