-Attext and dialogbox |
|
|
Hello,
I am trying to execute the "-Attext" command, via
ThisDrawing.SendCommand ("-ATTEXT" & vbCr & "SDF" & _ vbCr & "TemplateFile.TXT" & vbCr & "OutPutFile.TXT" _
& vbCr & "Y" )
The problem is that whenever I execute the code, a dialogbox pops up to request the Template file and the out put file. How do I supress the dialogbox and just have vba enter in the commands...
I would have sworn there was some sort of code to receive input values for the AutoCAD command line.
thanks,
Daniel

Solution:
The "-" character before the "Attext" command tells autocad to supress the dialog box. For some reason this does not work. One option that I have come across is to set "FileDia" to 0. In other words, issue this command before the "-Attext" command:
.Sendcommand("FileDia" & vbcr & "0" & vbcr) |

instead of using sendcommand to set a system variable use setvariable... for eg:
ThisDrawing.SetVariable "FILEDIA", 0

That only works from the actual command line, not through code unless you |
issue the FILEDIA first.

Never use the sendcommand unless you absolutely have to! In this case use |
SetVariable("FILEDIA", 0)
