Possible to Make a DCL That Looks Like This?

[Jim Clayton]

Go to AutoCAD.  Type "OP", then "Enter".  You should be looking at the options menu.  Is it possible to make a DCL with tabs to separate things like this one.  Thanks for the help.

No. DCL doesn't have tabs. https://www.cadtutor.net/forum/topic/43225-can-i-create-multiple-tabs-in-dcl/

it is possible , think this is the one :

it uses an image tile to simulate tabs. But personally I don't think its worth the effort. I believe OpenDcl does have this functionality but I have never used OpenDcl myself.

Thank you both for the quick response.  Will check this out.

Look also for rlx's programs out here, he has very creative DCLs.

I like to keep my ego low, so I can grow.

If I could bother you for one more question on this.  I'm assuming that you've tried the Dcl_Tiles lisp.  Is there something special that I need to do in order to get it to function, that you're aware of?  I saved it, along with the Get_Icons lisp, because I received a pop up saying that it was necessary.  I also saved as a Unicode file because I received another message stating that it was necessary to do so.  At this point I'm just curious what it looks like.  Thanks again for the help.

Thanks again.  I need to bookmark that Autolisp Exchange page because I keep losing it.  Appreciate the help.  Will see how far I can get with this.

have updated my favorite bar. Your site is one of the best sites for comprehensible examples for lisp & dcl.
