You need to turn off background plotting by setting the BACKGROUNDPLOT system variable to zero. See e.g. this blog post.
How do you detect if AutoCAD is done plotting in AutoLISP
سؤال
Is there a way to figure out if a plot job is still working in AutoLISP?
I am currently using the DWG To PDF.pc3
printer in a LISP script in AutoCAD 2007. Unfortunately, the vla-PlotToFile
function returns immediately. I would like to automatically open the file upon completion of the plot.
If it helps, I am actually doing a lot of the coding outside of AutoCAD in Python, calling into it with win32com.
The code I currently have is:
(vla-PlotToFile (vla-get-Plot activeDocument) printing-filename "DWG To PDF.pc3")
That returns before AutoCAD has finished plotting.
I considered checking for the existence of the pdf file after that command, but often times, I write over that file, so it already exists before the command.
