Selecting Folders (AutoCAD LT 2024)

[SLW210]

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?

Says its a valid function.

 

 Might need to follow this format to work properly.

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.

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!

I found that in AutoCAD 2024 Help file as well, just scratched my head, why any of the stuff that didn't work was in the help file I have no clue.

I made this a long long time ago , before I new about Shell.Application etc. Not the prettiest by today's standards but it got the job done for me at that time.

getfolder.lsp GetFolder.DCL

That looks promising!!

 

Thanks!!
