Launch PDF from AutoCAD
Submitted by rkmcswain on Tue, 11/22/2005 - 14:00If you need the ability to launch a PDF file from a menu macro, lisp file, or VBA routine, check out the code shown below. This will launch the PDF using the default registered application, just as if you had entered the file name in the Windows Start-Run dialog
This avoids any browser related issues which can arise if you use the AutoCAD "BROWSER" command.
It makes no assumptions regarding the application (or it's version) used to open a PDF document, or the presence of a properly configured PGP file.
AutoCAD 2006 view transitions
Submitted by rkmcswain on Fri, 11/11/2005 - 13:01This is the one new addition to 2006 that most of my users either really love or really dislike. On the other hand, I don't really care one way or the other since I do 99% of my zooming and panning with the mouse scroll button. I leave my View Transitions turned on with the default settings as shown here. The command name to access this dialog is VTOPTIONS.
