filedia and cmddia 2004

Anyone out there know of a way to suppress "ALL" dialog boxes? I've tried setting filedia and cmddia to 0 but I still get dialog boxes in certain situations? For example, running a plot of a pdf from the command line...the saveas dialog box always pops up...is there a way around this?

Thanks in advance!

 

Save the file first. Not all dialog can be bypassed other than by not using
that command [create your own version] or doing the action first to avoid
it.

 

Have you tried to invoke the plot command using lisp.

(command "plot")

I type that in at the command line and get command line prompts for all the plot settings.

Good luck,
Bill

 

The saveas dialogue for PDF files may be driven by the Distiller, not
AutoCAD.

I use Adobe Acrobat in the office, and the Distiller I use defaults to
asking for a location. I think there is a way to set a default common PDF
location, but I don't know of a way to get it to simply print to the same
directory as the drawing.
