SLW210 Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 It seems acet-ui-pickdir does not work in AutoCAD LT 2024, are there any alternatives that might work? I am still not sure what the exact limits are for LISP in LT, is there a link to some documentation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGAL Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) Using getfiled maybe. (setq filename (getfiled "Select the File " "" "dwg" 16)) You can remove dwg name from filename so get path to that directory. There is a post some where about what does not work, I think it was over at forums autodesk. getapplication think Excel lisp linking No load MNL As mentioned Acet functions This got me to the LT 2024 help page and developer help. https://help.autodesk.com/view/ACDLT/2024/ENU/?guid=GUID-86C522B8-9D44-43F5-B1E7-FC4BECAEBDCE Found this comment by Lee-mac Unfortunately many of my programs will not be compatible with AutoCAD LT, as the LISP API in LT does not support interfacing with ActiveX objects outside of the AutoCAD Object Model.

SLW210 Posted December 7, 2023 Author Share Posted December 7, 2023 I see if I can figure out something, it's not a top priority, would just be convenient for the Engineers with LT to do some of their own AutoCAD stuff. I'll just have to do it on FULL AutoCAD for them until I figure something out. Thanks for the links and information! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
