AutoCAD/Expert Profile
Expertise
I`ve been using AutoCAD since 1987 and programming AutoLISP nearly as long. I can answer questions about programming AutoCAD (except ARX) and production enhancement techniques. I cannot answer questions about AutoCAD crashes or DWG corruption. AutoCAD PROGRAMMING (menus, lisp) related questions only!
Experience in the area
Since 1987. Author of Plot2000 software for for AutoCAD, http://www.plot2000.com. PROGRAMMING QUESTIONS ONLY PLEASE. Questions that are NOT related to programming or AutoCAD customization (menus and lisp only please) are outside the scope of my volunteer services and will NOT BE ANSWERED.
What do you like about this subject?
There is a new challenge every day, and there are many ways to solve most problems. Please ask me AutoLisp questions only please.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject
How many options are there to the ARC command?

2011-08-19 Multiple Plot at same time in model:

2011-07-22 Lisp routines:
Yes, you need to locate the menu file on the network and menuload it from there. When you reload the menu on your workstation, the others will also get an update of it next time they start autocad. Make
