Prevent AutoCAD Text Window from popping to the front

[ReachAndre]

Hey all, I was wondring how I could avoid having the command line dialogue box "Open"
during the creation of a layer state. Here what I have so far:


(defun c:lot ()
(command "-layer" "a" "s" "lotcurr" "" "" "")
(command "-layer" "thaw" "*" "")
(command "-layer" "on" "*" "")
(princ "\nAll layers turned on and thawed")
(princ))


Thanks all

Not sure how to keep it from coming up, but you can close it with this:



(defun c:lot ()
(command "-layer" "a" "s" "lotcurr" "" "" "")
(graphscr)
(command "-layer" "thaw" "*" "")
(command "-layer" "on" "*" "")
(princ "\nAll layers turned on and thawed")
(princ))

The "save state" option of the "-layer" command opens the ACAD Text Window.
(graphscr) changes the focus back to the drawing area (closes the text window). It's not very pretty, you see the window flash real quick, but at least you don't have to close it yourself.

If you know a better way please do tell.

Yes, I do know how to [F2] flip between (textscr) and (graphscr)
but I could not believe that that was the mission

** I have no idea why this text is BOLD **
remove the [size=2] and [b] in your post

Thanks, that bugged me.

The problem is that graphscr only changes focus to the graphics screen and restores the graphics screen if it's minimized. It doesn't close the text screen. It is very apparent when you have a dual screen setup and have the text screen on your second monitor; its still there when you execute graphscr, it just moves behind palletes or whatever that Autocad has open. I don't know how you would accomplish this. It may be a wish list item.

Hey thanks all,
that worked very well, and yes you do see the screen flash.
Thanks again
