Hi, You can start with ( setenv "ACAD" "list of path") and ( getenv "ACAD") For example: (setq path "c:\\temp\\") (setenv "ACAD" (strcat path ";"(getenv "ACAD"))) I assume you are suggesting a 'lisp' routine can be used to 'add/append' the additions? Here is the result for (getenv "ACAD") my curren...

Is there a way to configure/setup multiple block paths without using the Options dialogue? Or can I specify a path, then with possibly a switch tell the system to include ALL nested sub folders? I have over 40 separate paths to various block libraries and it is a tad tedious adding all of these manu...

Intellicad does have a 'purge' command, just like Autocad, have you tried that?

The routine you previously used, was/is that a lisp routine?
If so maybe if you post that someone can look at it to see if it can be modified to work with Intellicad.

.......... All should now display Imperial measurements. NOTE: This setting does NOT appear to be saved, so you will need to repeat each time you open the Steel dialogue. ... Thank for your experimentation, Steve, But on my side, this setting already saved, it opens the last dialogue setting. Regar...

Found through experimentation. Open the steel dialogue. Then 'right click' anywhere on the dialogue, then de-select the 'Metric Data' https://serving.photos.photobox.com/610858625ef44d10a78aaad87a5f3d5e3ffb573d02b601018b2d7ac10e24e1eb3e92a0c8.jpg . https://serving.photos.photobox.com/660541346a011a9...

Following on from this question https://forums.intellicadms.com/viewtopic.php?t=1855&p=6777#p6777 Is it possible to ADD to this function? ie the UK steel sizes, UB, UC, IPE, HE etc as per the dialogue below? https://blog.draftsperson.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Wiseys-Steel-Shapes-UK-Palette.png ...

Hi, I'm not aware of anything in Intellicad that will do what you want. Others may no better. If I were face with this issue I would create a 'DXF' file of the drawing, then edit that with Notepad using 'Find' & 'Replace' You will need to do that for each block name, then re-import back into Intelli...

Hi

How do I access :

Can it be used with my trial of version 10?

S.

Now resolved: (action_tile "rb31" ;toggle #150 option "(if (= flg \"wn_\") ;if variable weldneck flange selected do this (progn (L5_ON) (RB31_FLAG) );end progn ;---------------------------; ;otherwise if ANY of bl/so/scr/sl are set do this (progn (setq newtile $key) (RB31_FLAG) (F_NAME) (READ_DIM_FI...

The basic functionality is now there and working. However I am now looking to refine some areas. When the user selects radio button RB31 I want to only turn on the next level or radio buttons (L5_ON) if the local variable flg is set to wn_ Here is where flg is set to wn_ (defun RB11_FLAG () (setq fl...

With your help I have found the problem.

It was my error!
In all of the locations (sample): I should have entered: Just the small '_' caused ALL of my searching.
Hence the file was not found.
S.

just to confirm:

I will copy the file to additional folders in the search paths to check.

I have copied the dim files to a number of locations (6) in the search paths and the file is still reported as not found.

Hi,

Sorry I misunderstood your reply.

The error message 'File Not Found' is displayed.
Note: the file does exist and is in a folder in the search/support path.

I will copy the file to additional folders in the search paths to check.

Did you have OPEN_DIM_FILE set as below? (defun OPEN_DIM_FILE () (setq DIM_FILE (open (findfile fname) "r")) ; (setq DIM_FILE (open (findfile "WN_RF_SCH_5_#150.DIM") "r")) ; (setq DIM_FILE (open (findfile "wn_rf_sch_20_#300_.dim") "r")) ) ;end OPEN_DIM_FILE If yes, that is the same problem I have. I...

These will help if you are running intellicad to test the lisp
