I had written some really cool AutoCAD/LISP/VBA hybrid code which allowed the user to Print Silently (using the CAD file name ) or Print to PDF with a prompt for Filename. All my code had to do was change a few settings in the PDF995 INI and presto, it was working well EXCEPT .. I noticed if the drawing had periods in it the name of the file woud truncate at the first period.

 After I contacted PDF995  the suggested I try adding the foowing to my INI file:

 Strip Extension=0

Sure enough, that did the trick.

Quick little routine to Convert a Directory of LSP to FAS. I found this Online and decided to modify it for MANUALLY setting the paths.

      (strcat fas (substr x 1 ( - (strlen x) 4)) ".fas")
      )
      ) ; foreach

    ) ; if

) ; defun}

Howdy folks,
