We need a routine created that replaces (supersedes) the AutoCAD Open command. The new Open command would have the exact same functionality as the native Open command for AutoCAD, except it would add an IF loop into the procedure where it would look to see if there is associated DWL files at the same level as the DWG file the user is trying to open, and if so, it would display a read-only message to the user trying to open the file. See [login to view URL] for a more detailed explanation of the desired final product. This can be coded in Lisp, VBA or possibly .NET. A Lisp routine is preferable.

Hi, I'm a CAD programmer for over 25 years. I created programs for AutoCAD using Autolisp, VBA and VB .Net. First, it is not possible to recreate exactly the same open command using Autolisp. We have to use .Net (VB or C#) or ARX, maybe VBA but I don't think it will be the best way. I already created similar program for my product (Le Classeur À Plans), it is a drawing manager use to start AutoCAD and open directly the drawing if the drawing is already in use, I show a dialog box with user information. This was required because the drawing is open from an application running outside AutoCAD. When you use the Open command, AutoCAD already show you the user information if the drawing is already open. I don't understand why you want another command. To replicate exactly the same open command, it is a lot of work and I think useless. Feel free to contact me for more information. Regards, André

Thank you for the the video description it makes this bid supper easy. You are right in requesting the application be done in LISP. While it would be easier for a developer to code in .NET ultimately AutoLISP is better for the end user in this case. If I'm awarded the bid it would take about 3 hours to write and test the code. I charge $80/hr. So a total of $240. This would included any changes you might feel necessary after using the application for a while. Excluding rewrites. Thanks for the consideration.
