psuengineer84 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I have been interested in putting together a LISP routine that opens up a notepad file with user notes regarding recent editing or other "FYI" information. Is this reasonably plausible to do? Or is there a better way to tackle ACAD documentation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphod Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Where I work any time a drawing is revised a new AutoCAD file is made, XXX-XXX-XXX-Rev-A B C D........ Notes are placed in the title block revision area to describe the changes, as well as "clouding" the changes. The old Rev gets put in a folder, within the project, called Void.

psuengineer84 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 I am really talking about changes for internal use only, not part of the contract documents revisions and submissions. Traditionally, I make notes on a "Rob's Notes" layer that doesn't print. It works generally OK, but I was trying to improve it. The notes may not be just changes, but notes regarding things that still need to be changed, designed, etc. An engineer in our office uses notes in the drawing information box, but to see them you have to remember to go there to check it.

BIGAL Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 You can open a file to read, write or append A. So you could do a lisp if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
