    Default what text can be used to proceed past pop up dialogue box's when running a script

    Hi all,

    slight problem when running scripts. I am experiencing auto cad 'pop up' dialogue boxes, which require to be 'accepted' or 'yes' or 'enter' or 'save' depending on the pop up.

    alt s, for save or alt y for yes work fine when using the keyboard.

    however, can anyone assist in how to include alt s or alt y into the script as a command line, which would be accepted, and will continue onto the next model for updating.

    im using acad 2015 combined with cadworx 2017 for info.

    lines tried but failed listed below

    (command ALT S)
    (command ALT+S)
    (command ALT+"S")

    and so on....but no joy.

    any assistance greatly appreciated.

    thanks.

    If you're running a script and you're trying to save an AutoCAD drawing, use the "qsave" command.

    Also look at other non-dialog command prompts.
    sometimes simply putting a hyphen in front of the command bypasses the dialog.

    Also, in a script, a "space" is implied as a return on the keyboard, so if the default is <yes> place a space there.

    If Ted's suggestions still don't fit with what you want, try setting FILEDIA to 0 before the save and then resetting it to 1 after the save.
