Finding template of new drawing

[Ahankhah]

Hi all,

 

Is it possible to find out which template file used in new opened drawing via visual lisp?

 

Assume someone issues NEW command and selects a .DWT file as template. Now after ending NEW process, how to find out what is the fullname (path and name) of template file?

 

I appreciate any help

Hi Ahankhah, try

(vl-registry-read (strcat "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\" (vlax-product-key) "\\FixedProfile\\General") "LastTemplate")

 

Hope that helps

hmsilva,

thank you very much.

 

Meanwhile I found three other ways to obtain the mentioned registry container:

(getenv "General\\LastTemplate")

(getenv "LastTemplate")

(vla-get-TemplateDWGPath (vla-get-Files (vla-get-Preferences (vlax-get-acad-object))))

I appreciate your

great help.

Glad you got a solution!

Rather than listing all the preferences this will do it

;use this to find other settings 
(vlax-dump-object (vla-get-files (vla-get-preferences (vlax-get-Acad-object))) T)
