running function .lsp without AutoCad

Hi
How can I run function ".lsp" without running AutoCad?

You lost me.

What are you really trying to do. You can open ACAD through
SolidWorks, and possibly run a Lisp Routine You can open ACAD in the
background so that the user never sees it running. I don't think you
can run a .lsp withouth ACAD. It is called AutoLisp because it is
integrated with AutoCAD. You can also do just about anything in ACAD
through VBA. You are going to have to be a little more specific.

 

IntelliCAD will run most AutoLisp files with minor modifications.
You may get an evaluation copy from http://www.cadopia.com , I think
it is good for 2 months or more.

 

Ok. Sorry for unprecise question.
I'm writing You what I must do:
I have Autolisp functions which take information about objects of
AutoCAD file and write these informaions in txt file.
I have instaled AutoCad in my komputer. I want to run this functions
without AutoCad. It means that AutoCad can be run in the background,
but I and other user can't see that AutoCad is running.
How Can I do this?

mabe you should ask this to comp.cad.autocad, not solidworks...

 

this will make a session that is already running invisible

Sub AcadInvisible()
AcadApplication.Visible = False
End Sub


if you pass a File name this will open that file invisibly.
Sub AttachToAcadInvisible(OpenDoc As String)'delete between the () to
not open a file
Set AcadApp = AcadApplication
'delete the next line to not open a file
AcadApp.Documents.Open OpenDoc
End Sub

'Exit ACAD you may want to do this when done otherwise it stays open
until you close windows

Sub CloseInvisibleOrVisibleACAD()
AcadApplication.Quit
End Sub

 

Ok thanks.
But maybe you know, how can run Autocad by line comand in DOS?
What arguments must I write after acad.exe to open AutoCad without its main window?

 

Ok thanks.

DOS what the heck is that? =)

Sorry I am too young to have ever learned DOS. I may know how to
change drives or something. I know that it is a blank screen that I
find practically useless. If you want to run a VBA macro I could
help. AutoLisp I could help. DOS though that is a foreign language.
Why don't you write a macro in AutoCAD that would first put AutoCAD in
the background and then run your Lisp Routines.
