Calling scripts from scripts - Title Block Update & Batch Print

[Markus Barrera-Kolb]

DWorks has written a great script that updates the date & file name information in a title block. He provides the option of calling the Print command after the update is complete, but I was hoping to be able to call the Batch Print command -- so:

Is there a way to first call DWorks's script and then the Batch Print command? I've tried this script:

PROCEDURE PrintWithUpdate;

BEGIN

DoMenuTextByName('DUpdateTitleBlocks',0);

DoMenuTextByName('Batch Print',0);

END;

RUN (PrintWithUpdate);

but I get this error message:

Error: _1035 _119 - Array ALLOCATE end < start: _97

Any advice? Thanks!

The only command that you can run from DoMenuTextByName wich involves printing is the 'print' command. Batch Print and export (batch) pdf doesn't work in VS.

If I find the time, I will look into it to add my own batch print dialog and command, but for the moment, It will be this way

Has anyone experienced pdf files made through batch file where by there is nothing in some of the files only to find out after they have been printed for a permit submission date?

More problems in paradise: My section viewport, derived from a DLVP has acquired arrow decease where by all my walls and windows have arrows as if they were lines. The SVP is comprised of annotations only ... the referenced file does not appear to have any over righting elements ...I need help

My main file which has a number of referenced files suffers from disappearing interior walls which are referenced from separate unit files as one zooms in and out on the sheet layer. At first I solved the problem when I noticed the rotation arrow was in the wrong position ...Cmd5... voila fixed but now it's doing it again. I've re-referenced and then edited and re-referenced (that worked before ) but I can't figure this thing out.

My project is 3d, 3 building, 4 story w/ a multi-grade-parkade, 81 unit resort and I have a good deal of hours into this and cannot afford to loose it. It seems the larger and more complex the project get the harder it is for VW to manage.

And this is just the first of many phase on this site.

By the way I have the latest IMAC 24" and latest Build with VW2008

Help!?! mother!?!
