Set ViewRes to a predefined value, will help with working with the Sheet Set Manager

[omorah]

Windows XP / AutoCAD 2006

Now, I am a big user of the Sheet Set Manager, and very seldom use the "OPEN" button to open a file. My "want" is to automatically set my VIEWRES to 10,000 whenever I open a layout from the Sheet Shet Manager. (Yes, my computer is more than enough to handle the 20,000 setting.)

If I were using the OPEN command button, I could just add " VIEWRES;Y;10000; " to my OPEN command line in the CUI.

With SSM, what would be the solution, since VIEWRES is a Per-Layout-Per-Drawing basis, which means that one DWG file could have different VIEWRES saved per Layout in that same file.

Hope I am clear enough in my explanation. Thanks in advance for your help and information.

why not add

(command "viewres" "y" "10000")

to the acaddoc.lsp

In our office, we don't use AcadDOC.lsp. We have five different types of AutoCAD isntalled so each one has it's own folder - AutoCAD 2006, Raster, Civil3D etc. Can I add it to my personal MNL file? If so, how? Whatever I do, would it set the VIEWRES to each layout I open form the Sheet Set Manager? Thanks again.

PS:
Someone mentioned adding "TRIGGERS" somewhere to be able to control my VIEWRES in any layout I open.

Can you add a personal acaddoc.lsp to the folder the MNL is in? Or is it a shared folder too?

I don't think a trigger / reactor will do it. (but, I don't know much about reactors, either).

Just wondering if you meant having a personal LSP file that would automatically load, and NOT another AcadDOC.LSP in the system.

I added the control (command "viewres" "y" "10000") to my personal "xxxxxxxx".lsp and these are my observations.

The Viewres 12000 only controls the first layout opened from the Sheet Set Manager. This will be because AutoCAD initiates it's full opening with the first opened layout.

When I opened another layout (from SSM and same file), it's Viewres would NOT change to 12000.

Placing this into a reactor will most likely not help either as the command function is not recommended to be executed via a reactor.
