Let it be for few seconds and it'll close by itself. Note: When AutoCAD is closing, maybe your VisualLISP window will hold for a while, don't try to activate it.
#CANT CLOSE VISUAL LISP EDITOR AUTOCAD CODE#
Try it with nil too, you'll see that VisualLISP will be the active window, locking your AutoCAD to execute the next commands (and so you'll need to click somewhere in AutoCAD to activate its window and make the code to run properly). It's not documented and I've found it because I know AutoLISP has a lot of undocumented functions. The trick in that code is the (C:VLIDE T). IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE THE LAST LINE EMPTY () THERE'S A SAFE LOCK IN QUIT COMMAND, SO SAVE A DUMMY FILE AND QUIT AGAIN WITH IT SAVED (princ (vl-catch-all-error-message errobj)) (princ "\n***ERROR COMPILING SOMETHING***\n") (setq errobj (vl-catch-all-apply 'function-which-will-use-vlisp-make-project-fas)) YOU NEED VLISP OPEN TO LOAD VLISP-* FUNCTIONS scr file: MAKE VLISP OPEN BUT LET AUTOCAD ACTIVE. I have a huge LISP project, I've made a prv file that permits to the VLIDE to compile this project into a single vlx file (it compiles also the fas file). The /b stands for the script you'll run: "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2019\acad.exe" "C:\somefolder\dummy.dwg" /nologo /nossm /b "C:\somefolder\CompileLispProjects.scr" You'll need an empty drawing, call it dummy.dwg. PLEASE Let me know!Īfter some tests here I could finally make it a bit more faster and easy to use.Īt command line, call autocad with some startup switches. The Visual LISP editor must be open to compile, The compile will only happen when window activation occurs. It should open AutoCAD and build all of your LSP files into a single.
#CANT CLOSE VISUAL LISP EDITOR AUTOCAD INSTALL#
Next you will need to Download and install AutoHotKeyĪnd build a script like this for it: Run, BuildLisp.bat It starts AutoCAD and runs the specified script Then make a batch file that contains this: offĬd c:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2014 (strcat (getenv "UserProfile") "\\Documents\\AutocadFiles\\CompiledLisp.fas") You can also launch the VLISP text editor by selecting ‘File’, then ‘New. ‘ In the VLISP window that opens, you can type your LISP program in the console window. (strcat (getenv "UserProfile") "\\Documents\\AutocadFiles\\gui.lsp")) How do I download a LISP in AutoCAD To open the VLISP window, from the AutoCAD window, in the ‘Tools’ menu, select ‘AutoLISP’ and then select the ‘Visual LISP Editor. If you do find some documentation please let me know!) vlide (Note that vlisp-compile-list is not documented anywhere. I will be demonstrating with Autocad 2014.įirst you will need to make an Autocad Script file that contains some undocumented commands. Be warned this is a bit of a Rube Goldberg.
