how to attach reference drawing from tool palette without dialog box

Sander Strating

In AutoCAD I have a tool with this command:

^C^C-Xref Attach O:/CAD_Files/05_TOPO_NL-ALGEMEEN/Gemeenten/_Totaal/Gemeenten_NL.dwg;0,0;1;1;0;

When I use this in BricsCAD I get a dialog box and I have to locate the map manually.

How can I tell Bricscad to open the file, and not give me the attach dialog box?

Try
[code]^c^c(setvar 'filedia 0);_-xref;_attach;D:/Test.dwg;0,0;1;1;0;(setvar 'filedia 1)[/code]

Note: in your original macro you are using both spaces and semicolons as enter. I prefer to use semicolons only.

Yes - that works perfect.

Thanks for the advice Roy.

Dear All.

however, there is a strange thing ...
using "_-XREF" should never open the filedialog. as the "-" hyphen in command name indicates.
If "_-XREF" would indeed open the dialog, please send us a support request, likely with you menu
(trying _-xref ...) on commandline works fine - no dilaog.

Many greetings !

 I double checked, and without 'setvar 'filedia 0' the dialogue box opens.

I have send in a support call.
