load profiles

Hi all,
Iwant to create script to load a profiles. But I don't know the way to open
the option dialog box at the command line...
I'm sure if have variable like cmddia or filedia 0 or 1 but i don't know
what is it

Thanks a lot

 

The only system variable I know of is CPROFILE which lists the current profile and is read-only. In VBA there are several methods to work with profiles such as CopyProfile, DeleteProfile, ImportProfile etc. You would have to create a VBA program that does what you want then load it with the script.

 

Instead of using the /b switch to specify a script at startup have you thought of using a /p for a user-defined profile??

ie: "C:\Program Files\AutoCAD 2004\acad.exe" /p yourprofile

 

Here's a simple toggle to switch profiles I did a while back

;toggle profiles
(defun p_toggle ( / rg_acad rg_pref rg_prof )
(setq rg_acad (vlax-get-acad-object)) ;gets the Acad application
(setq rg_pref (vla-get-Preferences rg_acad)) ;gets the preferances
(setq rg_prof (vla-get-profiles rg_pref)) ;gets the profiles
(if (= (Vlax-get-property rg_prof 'ActiveProfile)"Test") ;If active
profile is named Test
(vlax-put-property rg_prof 'ActiveProfile "Murph") ;sets active
profile to Murph
(vlax-put-property rg_prof 'ActiveProfile "Test") ; else sets Test
active
)
)

To open the Options dialog the command is Options. To show the dialogs set
cmddia = 1

Murph
