AutoLISP: Purge Page Setups

Posted on May 20, 2013 by AutoCAD Tips

The code posted below will purge all Page Setups except for the current page setup (if one is applied).
If you have ever received a drawing with many page setups this routine will help reduce the amount of setups that you have to navigate.

Here’s how:
DEL_PAGESETUPS

    curdwg   (vla-get-ActiveDocument (vlax-get-Acad-Object)) 
    pslayout (vla-get-Layout (vla-get-PaperSpace curdwg)) 
  ) ;_ end of setq 
  ;; Call RefreshPlotDeviceInfo before GetPlotDeviceNames

  (vlax-for x (vla-get-Plotconfigurations curdwg) 
    (vla-delete x)

Dear Sir, � I am a follower of your post. Thank you from me and others who share your knowledge and expertise. I have question i.e. how can I edit existing lisp routine? here existing not the one you or I make. I mean to say routine that comes with the software such as fillet or mirror command. � �

Best Regards

Madhusudan Banerjee

  Unfortunately, you cant edit the default commands. They are buried within the program’s API. You’re best bet would be to use a lisp routine that is a modification that suits your needs and then make sure that it is loaded in each session of AutoCAD so that it can be used.
