script problem in acad 2000

Hi,

I have the following script to move the entire contents of 500+ files
down 64 units. (without the ***'s), (ze is a shortcut for zoom
extents):

*************
move
all

0,64,0
0,0,0
ze
qsave
************

I've tried it the following way as well:

************
move
all

0,0,0
@64<270
ze
qsave
************

and it will not work...but here's the thing: the following will run:

************
move
all

0,0,0
@64<90
ze
qsave
************

so, I can move things in the positive Y direction, but mot the
negative Y direction. I've tried every method I know of to move in the
negative Y (@64<270, @64<-90, @0,-64,0, etc..)

any ideas?

Thank You,

Chris

 

Using 2000i, the following works for me:

move
all

0,-64,0

zoom
e
____

 

Chris,
I think the problem is not putting a return between z & e

Thanks guys, I just got back into town today..

well, neither solution will work...Paul's script will not work either
and I took the zomm extents completely out..so i have just the
following:

********************
move
all

0,0,0
0,-64,0
qsave
*******************


if I type out the commands they work:

*******************
Command: move

Select objects: all
1 found

Select objects:
Specify base point or displacement: 0,0,0
Specify second point of displacement or <use first point as
displacement>:
0,-64,0
*******************

but the script will not...damn this is frustrating..

thanks again..any other ideas are welcome..

 

one more thing..

I just ran the script on a file that has all of the entities to be
moved ABOVE 0,0,0...it seems as if I have any entities below 0,0,0
then I can't move them with a script in the negative Y direction..by
th way, i tried resetting the limits of the drawing before running the
script and that does not help..

thanks,

Chris
