Applications on top

[PGia]

Hi,

I have a feeling this question has never been asked here.
I have a Lisp that reads the drawing, writes a text file and opens it with Notepad. But I would like to be able to work with AutoCAD while keeping the contents of the file visible.

 

Is there any Lisp that can do this?

that would be a windows thing rather than a CAD (or any other application) thing.

 

Best I can think off would be to resize the windows so both are shown that way.

 

 

Problem with doing it via lisp is whatever you are using to display the text would be closed or hidden as you do a CAD command, though perhaps a custom tool bar might work which just shows the text

Thanks @Steven P

I guess you're right.

Anyway, I'll try to keep this thread going a little longer to give others time to make their suggestions.
