2004 Plot Offset Work Around

Hello All -

As you all probably know about the existing bug in 2004 regarding the Page Setup Plot Offset not centering the Layout tab content on the page.

I have found that after I set the page setup (Plot Offset Center Box is checked) for all the layout tabs I have to go back into the page setup of each layout tab and hit the "Enter" key in order for the Layout content to center on the page. This process will drive anyone crazy if they have hundreds of layout tabs in one drawing file. So, I have started to create a work around that will go through the pagesetup of each layout tab and hit "enter" for me. I have run into a snag with the "Enter" key part and need your help. I have tried different things to get the program to "hit the Enter key" but have had no success.

This is what I have so far:

(foreach l (layoutlist)
(setvar "ctab" l)
(command "pagesetup") "")

Your help is greatly appreciated!

 

From what I know, you can't 'click' the enter button in a dialog box with
lisp.... I would ask in the VBA group?

Casey,

Thanks for your reply. I solved the issue using a little free program called AutoIt.

Thanks agaiin!
