Demo Palette Commands

Some code to help in doing my demos. It goes into the Tool Palette as commands and then I can press the command in the Tool Palette to run the command. 

This does a Save As file: 

^C^C(vla-saveas (vla-get-ActiveDocument (vlax-get-Acad-Object)) "C:/Civil 3D Projects/DFWBIUG_Test_A/Sewer/Phase 2/A_Phase1_Sewer_B_Street_Start.dwg");

Note:

  • The backslashes in the drawing path are forward slashes. 
  • The ^C^C clears the command line. 

This opens a file:

^C^C(LM:open "C:/Civil 3D Projects/DFWBIUG_Test_C/SampleCreateDS.dwg"); 

The tool palettes also work as an agenda so I can remind myself what I'm doing next.

The LM:open is modified from Lee Mac: http://lee-mac.com/open.html with totally different code.
