Selected tabs only

hi
How can I make the code below print only the tabs I highlight. At the moment
all tabs are printed regardless of which tabs I selected
(btw this is to get around 2005's printing issues)
many thanks if you can solve my problem

(defun Clotabs (/ )
(foreach LLN (layoutlist)
(setvar "CTAB" LLN)
(command "-plot" "" "" "" "" "" "" "")
)
(princ)
)

 

Kiwi,
I've done something similar, used a dialog with (2) lists.
If you load the dialog with the left list (your list of tabs), then when a tab is highlighted, 'add' to the 2nd list. When done, use 'OK' tile to grab (to do) list, and run that through.

I also would like to make a dialog box, but making something like
you suggest is beyond me. At this stage I would just like to get it going
without any dialog.
thanks

Which version of AutoCAD are you using ??

 

Russ,

I don't think you can access what tabs are highlighted. Well I should
say I've never been able to find a way. A real quick method to use a
dialog would be with doslib.

(setq layouts_to_plot
(dos_multilist
"Plot Layouts"
"Select layouts"
(layoutlist)))
then..

(foreach LLN layouts_to_plot
...plot them
