command line or lisp access to checkstandards command

[aaronch]

I have been looking for a couple of days now for a way to either run the checkstandards command at the command line and not get the dialog windows or a LISP version of the command that I can work with. So far I have not seen anything that will work.

What I really want to do is:
Attach the standards file (already have this done)
Run the check standards and have it automatically fix problems
Get a list of standards violations that I can write to a file (I can handle the file part)
Detach the standards file (already have this done).

The batch standards checker won't work because I need the drawings to automatically fix resolvable problems like correcting layer colors.

Anyone have any ideas?

Custom routine probably.
See what information you can find out about acstd.arx.

You might try this page, "Implementing a CAD Standards plugin for AutoCAD using .NET" for some assistance in creating a plug in to the CAD Standards tool.

Not much info about acstd.arx out there. Is there a way to identify the exposed functions or methods or whatever they would be called?

I looked at the API a little while ago and realized that was far beyond my VBA skills. It also does not appear to eliminate the windows though so I don't know how it could be automated.

I will probably just have to write my own standards checker

Thanks for the responses.
