Create a .BAT file to publish a certain DSD file?

[.T.]

I so confused......It sucks cause im gonna have to pull teeth to get IT to come give me rights to change this.....

So, maybe don't worry about the rights if its a sticking point. Just have them add it to the path. They shouldn't care that it's there; it's not (as far as I know) a security risk or anything.

is there any work arounds? (sorry for the ingnorance, im just trying to think outside the box.

could i use the bat to open cad and then have the .bat file open the vbs which has all the key strokes..something like this?

workaround.bat

"%PROGRAMFILES%\AutoCAD 2005\acad.exe"
"%PROGRAMFILES%\whatever\testing.vbs"

testing.vbs

objShell.SendKeys "publish"
objShell.SendKeys "blah blah blah" 
objShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
WScript.Quit

I'm not sure. I'm just learning this myself. Give me a little time and I'll let you know if I find anything.

In your vbscript file replace this

objShell.Run "acad"

with this

objShell.Run Chr(34) & "%PROGRAMFILES%\AutoCAD 2005\acad.exe" & Chr(34)

I believe the error is the system is having difficulties with the spaces in the folder names, as usual.

Let us know.

One question that is puzzling me. Why are you trying to do this with LT instead of full AutoCAD? It you plan on running this at night when noone is around, why not use the tool that will give the correct results?

my machine does not stay on over night everynight, but we do have a machine that has LT on it that stays on 24/7
