    Help,
    Trying to import an Express Tool Layer State w/ -lman in a Lisp
    routine but I keep getting.
    Command: blayers Unknown command "-LMAN". Press F1 for help.
    Cannot find the specified metafileCan't find file.

    Is there any other command that I can use to call this function?

    Version:
    Autodesk Architectural Desktop r3.3
    w/ Express Tools ported from r2000.

    Thanks,
    KippH

    Try:

    (load "lman") and return

    it load lisp file and .dcl file

    Location of lman.lsp is directory "express"

  3. It's a LISP not a COMMAND so you can't use the COMMAND call.
    You have to call it like a LISP.

    Max,
    causes a CMDECHO ERROR
    Then the function will not work at all even at a command prompt.

    Something w/ Express Tools that is not allowing the command to
    executed from a lisp routine. I cannot put my finger on it. I'm also a
    little new to Lisp routines (typically learn by example).

    Regards,

  5. I've got a modified version of LMAN that works from the command line
    (doesn't use a dialogue). You could
    fold the code into your routine, and I'm sure it would work. If you want it,
    go to my site and email me for it.
