Core Console

[jamami]

 Its looking like coreconsole cannot run the purge command (unknown command error), which is a big part of what i wanted to do.

I have found this link 

https://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=31867.msg373489#msg373489

but it isnt lisp, can this be run within lisp ?.

i have a routine that cleans up drawings (dpsr), it runs great when included in a script.

trying to use it with core console i get:-

 

the lisp code for dpsr is :-

the script i am using to run it is:-

(load "C:/Users/me/LIBRARY/AutoCad/AutocadScripts/dwgprocessor.lsp")
dpsr
qsave
close

 

and the batch file used to run the scrpit is:-

 

@echo off
setlocal
:: Set the path to the folder containing your DWG files
set "folderpath=C:\Users\me\ASSETS\DWG\3D\LIGHT"
:: Set the AutoCAD Core Console executable path
set "AutoCADCoreConsole=C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2026\accoreconsole.exe"
:: Set the path to your LISP file
set "lispFile=C:\Users\me\LIBRARY\AutoCad\AutocadScripts\process.scr"
:: Loop through all DWG files in the folder
for %%f in ("%folderPath%\*.dwg") do (
    echo Processing: %%f
    "%AutoCADCoreConsole%" /i "%%f" /s "%lispFile%" /product ACAD /l en-US
)
endlocal

 

when run, dpsr is basically ignored and the next two lines of the script are run:-

 

is it the VL commands causing the issue ?

Core Console returns nil for (vlax-get-acad-object).

[Steven P]

Core console doesn't generally like VLA- commands, if you can do it all in pure LISP then you have more success.

[jamami]

Thank you .

I have set things running on another pc, I was hoping to save some time .

interesting to learn about core console though .

 

 

[jamami]

Thanks for all the help

you could try loading the visual lisp functions in your script (never tested it myself thou..)

I'm thinking it might be based on ActiveX which isn't supported in acoreconsole as far as I know.
(layoutlist) is defined inside acapp.arx which is not loaded by acoreconsole

So simply load it in the Script:

Code: [Select]
_.arx L "acapp.arx"
(setq foo (layoutlist))

Core Console supports loading ARX/.NET assemblies.

Kind of you to say, now I'm blushing. LoL

 

I'm just passionate about Core Console, and think it's one of the best 'new' features in the last decade+, that's seemingly underutilized (as I understand it from forum convos, etc).

I cannot use purge with coreconsole.

i get a unknown command error.

the link sent earlier lists purge as a valid command ??

What happens when you invoke -PURGE instead?

[jamami]

Thank you BlackBox  - it works!

 

still doesn't like and visual lisp though

Happy to help!

 

TLDR; if you haven't already, post your code, as most of what you're wanting to do can be done using OOTB Commands via Core Console & .SCR file.

 

Where that falls short, Core Console support NETLOAD & ARX Commands to load assemblies, which basically expose the entire .NET & ARX APIs.
