How to start drawingexplorer at ucs from lisp

Hi,
when i type expucs from the commanline, the drwaingexplorer starts in the ucs-section. When i use (command "expucs") from lisp it starts the ucs command.
How can i start the explorer as desired ?

  • I just found out, that the problem is a little bigger...
    Type expucs, hit new (._ucs is started) say origin, select the new origin - after that you are flipped back to drawingexplorer and you can rename the newly created ucs.
    But when i use (command "._ucs") from lisp, do some things in lisp and start drawingexplorer using (command "_explorer") there ist no new ucs to be renamed.
    How can i automate the manual way ?

    To save the current UCS choose the _NAmed option of the _UCS command. Note that you can also 'entmake' a UCS or create one using 'Visual Lisp' code.

    Code example:(if (not (tblobjname "ucs" "MyName")) (command "_.ucs" "_world" "_.ucs" "_z" 45 "_.ucs" "_named" "_save" "MyName" "_.ucs" "_previous" "_.ucs" "_previous" "_.ucs" "_previous" ) )

    Just to answer this initial query, In LISP you can use INITDIA to force the display of the dialogue version of a command e:g

    (initdia)
    (command "._EXPUCS")

  • A combination of both did the trick.
    Thank you Jason and Roy
