Start Command

How Can I Use Start Command To Start Any Program From Autocad?

[ReMark]

You could edit your Acad.pgp file. For instance, did you know you can start Paintbrush, Notepad and Explorer via the command line while in an AutoCAD session?

 

For example, add the following line to the .pgp file to start Winword:

 

WINWORD, Start Winword, 1,,

 

I'd put it as the next entry after Explorer, Notepad and Pbrush.

yes i know that but i use lisp open folder for opened drawing by Explorer so i need to know can autocad open any program not related to microsoft windows like media player classic for example by knowing its .exe location?

[ReMark]

I don't know. Why don't you try it and report back here. Opening Window Media Player is not on my top ten things to do while running AutoCAD.

 

What about using Startapp?
