Sorry,

 

I didn't realize you had replied

 

Ok - yes, all the borders are the same

Below is a link to a jpg shot of a sample sheet with the TAG stamp

I can email you the CAD file if you want

Thanks!

It won't load in AutoCAD - I've double checked everything in terms of loading it properly. It says it's not a known command.

ok - it does now :) I don't know why is wasn't at first. :) Sorry :)

Is there any way to double the space between the title block and the TAG? It's supposed to be aroung .16 and it's about.08

 

THANK YOU SO SO SO much!!!

Ok, alter the variable at the very top of the LISP if necessary :thumbsup:

So it seems that every time I run the LISP pgm on the multiple sheet file, it TAGs it properly, but if I've already ran it once, it doesn't replace the 1st TAG, it adds another TAG on top of the 1st one.

Also, the original TAG lisp used the line:

(command "zoom" "e")

is there any way I can put this back into the code so it zooms in on the split file before it saves it? That way you can see the whole drawing in the preview window.

When I'm WBlocking, I can't access the WBlock'ed drawing file to make changes on it - which is why I had to add the Date-Tag in the main drawing and not the WBlock'ed one.

 

But as for replacing the datestamp - this can be done :)

When I'm WBlocking, I can't access the WBlock'ed drawing file to make changes on it - which is why I had to add the Date-Tag in the main drawing and not the WBlock'ed one.

 

See this post ^^
