    Hi,

    I can open a drawing using that function: (command "vbastmt" "AcadApplication.Documents.Open \"C:\\Drawing4.dwg\"")

    If I want to use a variable containing the drawing name, how should I write the expression ?

    Thanks

    (setq dwgName "\"C:\\Drawing4.dwg\"")
    (command "vbastmt" (strcat "AcadApplication.Documents.Open " dwgName))

    Here is one I got from this group. I think I might have changed it, but I'm not sure, so I didn't mention that I did in the lisp.

    ps. So after posting I noticed I changed the name.

    (vl-cmdf "._vbastmt"
    (strcat "AcadApplication.Documents.Open \""
    FileName
    "\"")
    )
    (princ)
    )
