vla-close and vla-open

Hi all,

I have almost 300 drawings that I need to open, do few things there, closing
with saving.

I run a single document variable mode.

I tried (vla-close myDoc :vlax-true) but it says my drawing is busy...

if someone could save me same time on this it will be greatly appreciated.

I am trying this:

say, i have currently sht238 open and my next drawing is "sht239"

(vla-open (strcat (getvar "DWGPREFIX") "sht239.dwg"))

it gives me "Automation error. Method not available in SDI mode

 

This kind of thing is fairy easy with scripts. Its ok to run a lisp from a script, I do it all the time.
Then you can just issue a qsave, then a close statement.
Lisps and VBA's run into lots of hangups when trying to close a drawing with SDI set to 0.
They think of themselves as being run under a drawing so they quit when the drawing closes.
You should jump to using scripts when you want to close and open another drawing.
