Create a project-wide script file

Procedure

Create a project-wide script file

An AutoCAD script file can be run against one or more drawings in the current project.

For example, to ensure all drawings are set to model space and zoomed extents:

1. Create an ASCII text script file called model_ext.scr.

2. Add the following AutoCAD commands and AutoLISP functions:

   (setvar "TILEMODE" 0)

   ZOOM EXT

   (load "c:\\myprograms\\chktitle.lsp")

   NoteDouble backslashes must be used.

   CHKTITLE

   QSAVE

3. Test the script for proper operation.

   • On the current drawing, issue the SCRIPT command, followed by the script file name.

   • If the script runs properly, it is ready for project-wide use.
