I've tried to implement a macro button to import page setups from a template to some old drawings. My macro looks like this:
^C^C.-PSETUPIN "CBEC Templates.dwt" "*" ^M;
I have the file in the 2005 support folder with is the same path listed in the Tools/Options/Support Path dialog box.

When I click the macro button, it gives me a message on the command line ...
-PSETUPIN Enter file name:
Filename cannot be blank

But then when I got to check the pages setups it seems to have put them in??

I used to have a macro button that referred to a lisp routin that would import the page setups, but I can't seem to make it work now that I've upgraded to 2005. Obviously I'm doing something wrong and would like to get this functionality back. Any help appreciated.

Thanks much!

I changed my drawing from a .dwt file to a .dwg file and now it works fine. Maybe a problem reading the template file?? Not sure, but it works so I'll leave it alone!!! :)

Thanks much for your help!
