.SLD's from myslides.slb ?

May be a dumb question, but is there any way to 'reverse' the action of slidelib.exe .. i.e. pull out the .sld's and create the original .sld files ?

I use a very old utility:

SlideManager by Jhon Intorcio (1990)

maybe you can find in Internet or e-mail me.

I've always used the AutoCAD Slide Library Manager from Cyrille Fauvel.
It can extract the individual SLDs from an SLB.
I'll post it in the CF group.

Thanks Matt,
I'll give her a whirl.

Hmm.
I tried a couple of different calls (dos shell) to crank it up, but
it just flicks up for 1/2 sec. then goes away.
For slidelib.exe a typical call is:
slidelib myslides.slb <myslides.lst
What would be a sample for sldmgr.exe ?

Marc'Antonio,
Thanks for the E-Mail. Works OK. I had to install on an old DOS machine to get it to run. You can generate a list of the slide names, then 'batch' extract them. A bit of a pain, but it does work.

Cheers

Bob

 

I have the .doc file now. To list slides:
sldmgr L myslides<enter>
To extract a slide:
sldmgr E myslides slidename
would create slidename.sld in current folder.
You need a DOS OS to run it, won't go in Windows Shell.

Bob

 

It works for me in Xp, make sure to use 8.3 filenames.

Check your mail, I have send all my notes about Slides.

Ciao.

Marco

You'll probably have to register the SLIDE.OCX file using RegSvr32.exe
That should take care of it.
