    I'm writing a lisp that will launch a utility, but it is dependent on what
    cad program is running..

    ie

    AutoCAD 2005

    LDD 2005

    Bldg Systems 2005

    How do i know which one is running through lisp?

    JD,
    This may or may not help. I am new at most of this but anxious to help someone if I can. I have only had two versions of AutoCAD on my machine at any given time. I know that the last one accessed becomes the default if a file is opened from explorer. Maybe, if you are opening the program from the lisp you could include the full path to the execution (.exe) for the version you want to use(?).

    I'm looking to have a lisp routine available to autocad and it's vertical
    products. But the utility it will launch is dependant on the version of cad
    running. so i guess i need some sort of env variable telling me which
    autocad is running... i guess that's what i'm looking for right now...

    Hi,
    Try these

    (vl-load-com) ; This is necessary to ensure the next line works
    (setq CurVersionCheck (vlax-product-key))
    (if (vl-string-search "ACAD-308" CurVersionCheck) ; 308 is Land Desktop
    2005
    etc.
