I modified my script and receive the following error: Saving PDF of floor plan. If you do not want to include layout name within generated *.PDF file then use above line

(setq filename (strcat "M:\\PDF_DWGs\\" (vl-filename-base (getvar 'dwgname)) ".pdf")) If you want to include layout name within generated *.PDF file then use above line (setq filename (vl-filename-base (getvar 'dwgname))) (setq filename (strcat "M:\\PDF_DWGs\\" (vl-filename-base (getvar 'dwgname)) "_" cur_space ".pdf")) (setenv "PlotToFilePath" "M:\\PDF_DWGs") (princ "\n PDF Saved to AutoCAD PDF Saves.

"ARCH full bleed D (24.00 X 36.00 Inches)" Enter paper size "DWG to PDF.pc3" Enter an output device name (setq filename (vl-filename-base (getvar 'dwgname))) I do not have much experience with LISP and have pieced together what I could find in the forums. The program appears to function correctly aside from saving the PDF in the wrong directory. In this example were creating an A3 Layout to be printed to PDF using the Adobe PDF Plotter. The Page Setup dialog will be displayed: Here you can set paper sizes, the type of printer that will be used, etc. Lastly, when I run the program I receive: error: no function definition: nil AutoCAD selects the active Layout by default, so you can proceed by clicking Modify for the selected Layout. This should all be run "behind the scenes" with no user input. My goal is NOT to have a dialog box open up asking where to save the PDF. I am trying to change the default directory where the pdf is being saved to by using: "setenv "PlotToFilePath" "M:\\PDF_DWGs" but that is not working and it's instead saving to my default folder that contains my dwg files.


I have a script that is designed to plot a dwg to pdf using the -plot command. Tool Bar Lisp Routine Adjustment Help 1.MTEXT command and justification options 1.measure distance on polyline by inserting block 1.LISP - Lee Mac's List Box DCL Routine 3.Select Fix Striped Images to minimize where lines or stripes appear in images. This option is on by default for making PDFs from AutoCAD. Select Process Wipeouts, Text Masks and OLE objects when creating PDFs from AutoCAD drawings that have text masks or wipeouts.
