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 \

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!

We've also got some LT seats.........is there any way to do the same thing, on the command line, with these?

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.
