Hi ADKstorm,
I've tried many a work-around for revision blocks, and the same problem seems to persist. There will come a time, when one drawing is different from the rest, and "automation" of insertion of revision information will not fly (because everything in a script needs to be common to all drawings, unless it is TEXTual in nature, in which case Hurricane's TAGS can be used to make differences in each drawing), so I don't recommend getting into revisions with scripts.
IF you have a lisp that is "smart", and can look at the guts of the drawing and determine where the next "location" is, etc, then that is the way to go, but for the most part, scripts are used for doing lots of repetitive work that is COMMON to most drawings (again, Hurricane lets you stretch the definition of "common" a little with the use of TAGS).
As for PAGESETUPs, YES you can do this, but your plot script will look something like this...
;BEGIN SCRIPT
-PLOT
;Detailed plot configuration? [Yes/No] <No>: no
NO
;Enter a layout name or [ ?] <Model>:
Model
;Enter a page setup name <>:
[enter your pagesetup name here]
;Enter an output device name or [ ?] <None>:
etc.
etc.
;END SCRIPT
The Key is the NO response to "Detailed Plot Configuration"?
I hope this helps you out!
Regards,
Bill
