EXACTLY what i was looking for.....thanks...
It works fine when i type it on the command line. However. Im trying to assign the command to a toolbar button, and when clicked the command pauses at each '\' and requires a right click to continue. Below is a paste from the command text window.....any ideas.....
Command: (setenv "PrinterStyleSheetDir" "s:
("_>
("_> cad
("_>
("_> support")
"s:\n\ncad\n\nsupport"

either try using \\ for each \ (like my example) or
use / for each \

Re: CTB file locations |

sorry i was being dense!.....
Ive just replaced the double \\ with a single / and it works fine.
Now i have a toolbar with separate buttons for standard ctbs, consultants ctbs, etc etc, thus allowing the holy grail.....multiple ctb file locations!
Thanks for your help |

You don't need to reset the path to get multiple ctb
file locations. In the folder specified in the options
box place a shortcut to the other location(s),
AutoCAD will now look in all locations.

Ive found out about this method via this group. However, am i correct in thinking that if i used a short cut, i would see all of the ctb's ion the plot dialoge box pull down.
We have a consultant, who, because of the nature of the colours he uses will be providing us with a ctb for every drawing he produces (!).......this will amount to a hell of a lot of ctb's which i would only like to be visible when absolutley necessary. |

That is correct, they will all be seen in the drop down.
Good luck with that client!

I have no idea on what LT natively supports.
I think it does support environment variables
but unsure of how they compare with the full
version of AutoCAD. I take it that the same
example doesn't work in LT?

| No. As soon as you add a space, it takes it as a return and comes back with a 'lisp not supported' error. |
