AutoCAD/Disclamer

Advertisement


Question
Is there a way to creat a lisp routian to insert a popup window in a drawing so when you open the drawing it pops up and asks you if you accept of decline the disclaimer. If they click accept then they can view the drawing, and if they click decline then it shuts the drawing file. I was wondering if the popup could look in a ceirtan folder and find a file the would disable the disclamer. I'm fworking in ADT 2007.

Any help would be greatful. Thanks Jon

Answer
Lisp routines work inside AutoCAD.  AutoCAD has to be open for the LISP routine to work.  The choice of loading a LISP routine is the CAD user's.  So, to answer you question, I would have to say "No."  However there are drawing security programs out there you can look into such as:

Expertise

I can address all 2-D questions and some 3-D questions. I do programming in AutoLISP if it doesn`t involve solid modeling. I can also address menu customization issues and can help you find answers to questions I can`t answer by taking your question directly to Autodesk via their newsgroups.

Experience

I used to do electronic and mechanical design for a flat panel monitor manufacturer, and now I do architectural drafting for an architect. I did and do AutoLISP and menu customization and take pride in making my lisp routines to do the work exactly the way the client likes them done.

Publications
I had a routine published in CADENCE magazine (no longer in publication and taken over by CADALYST). Some of my routines are published on my website at http://my.sterling.net/~bdeshawn
