Ihave loaded this, and loaded its cui as well as the arx file. (Similar to when I had loaded this in previous versions of AutoCAD). The Autoscript menu appears but wen lauching (either via an 'autoscript' in the command line or via the menu drop-down, I get the 'unknown command' error.

I know this is old, and you must have solved the problem or found a different product to do what you need, but when we ran into the same problem this is how we solved it. Perhaps it will help others, since I was looking for the solution online, and found this thread, but nothing particularly helpful in it.


In our case we were running a macro (I don't know if this is always the case with AutoScript). In that case, in addition to making sure the location hosting the script called by "Autoscript" is in the "Support File Search Path" in the AutoCAD options, you also need to make sure that path is added to the "Action Recorder Settings" - "Additional Actions Reading File Locations" so the macro created can be found.


Once that path is added, go to the "Manage" tab in AutoCAD, and in the "Action Recorder" pane on the ribbon, there is a drop-down box, which is likely empty. Click on that drop-down box and select your script from the list (which populates after you point to it in the options) to make that script the current item in the "Play" list and then try running AutoScript again.


One of the easiest ways to automate a process within AutoCAD is to write a script. In this post, I will demonstrate how to write and develop a script for AutoCAD. In this example we will write a script that will automate a typical plot routine.


Before we can automate a process, first we have to define it. In this example we will write a script file that will create an A1 PDF plot of a drawing. We will work through the instructions that we would usually need to give AutoCAD to make a plot, and make a note of them so that we can write it up into a script.


It may take you a couple of goes to get your script to run. Use the text window to see how far your script ran before it stalled. Make the corrections in the .scr file and keep trying until you are happy!

sir, Ineed to plot some points all at a go , in autocad 15 . The coordinates ( x, y, z) of the points along with elevation are in csv file. What I need is to plot the points with ID and elevation (z) displayed. I could manage some how to plot points from csv file but id and z values could not be displayed


Hi guys,

Looking for a script file for cleaning the architects background. It includes changing text style, delete the hatches and layer colour to cyan. Could some one please give me some suggestions how to write a script for it.
