"boss" key to hide what you are working on

Anyone need a "boss" key for their setup? Sometimes I am working on a drawing that other employees are not supposed to know about so if someone comes in my office I can hit Y and enter and a slide comes up and covers the autocad screen. The slide is a shot of an overall drawing of our lower equipment area.

 

To make a slide open any drawing and get it displayed the way you want and then simply use MSLIDE to create the slide. Give it a name and location where you like.

 

Next you place some code, like that below, in your acaddoc.lsp file to call up the slide anytime you like while in autocad.

 

(DEFUN C:Y () (SETVAR "CMDECHO" 1)(COMMAND ".VSLIDE" "C:/ACAD/M03")(PRINC))

 

The Y is what I use, obviously you can use anything you want. The name and location of the slide in the code will match the slide you made earlier.

 

To clear the slide you can Pan, Zoom, Regen, etc.
