Is it possible to get PageSetupNames from another drawing?

I know about the PSETUPIN command but is it possible to get PageSetupNames from another drawing (not open) and put their names in a variable in AutoLISP? ActiveX? Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.

I use this to import my pagesetups from a template drawing. Just change the (2) paths to reflect your path to the template file you have created.

;;;Code by Nauman
(defun cgin (/ done CMDST)
(SETQ CMDST (GETVAR "CMDECHO"))
;;;Save SMDECHO STATUS
(setvar "cmdecho" 0)
(setq done T)
(command "PSETUPIN" "f:/data/offstd/cad/proto/pagesetup.dwg" "*")
;;;Import all the Pagesetups
(while (= (getvar "CMDNAMES") "PSETUPIN")
(command "y" )
(setq done nil)
)
;;;end while
(setvar "cmdecho" CMDST) ;;RESET CMDECHO Status
(prompt "\nPageSetups have been imported from
f:/data/offstd/cad/proto/pagesetup.dwg")
)
;;;End routine

 

Yes, it is possible. You will have to use ObjectDBX
to access the document, then iterate the plotconfiguration
collection to get the names.

Depending on what version of AutoCAD you are
using the ObjectDBX syntax will vary slightly.

Should be plenty of previous examples posted here
to get you headed in the right direction
