In DraftSight, how to close a file by a script without saving it

Hi all

How can I close a file without having the question "Save changes made..." " ?

Since I'm in a script, I'd like to either not ask the question or answer "No" without the dialog box opening.

Thank you for your help.

Hello

As shown here:

http://www.cadoasis.com/write-and-run-script-files-in-draftsight/

" Script files won't run on Dialog boxes so keep dialog boxes off by using command: DISPLAYDIALOGS and select 'No'"

On the other hand, if with this option, the file is saved, I'm afraid there is no solution!

As I indicated in another answer, other free software will be more suitable for automation: FreeCAD, NanoCAD 3.5, or take the 30-day trial version of DraftSight which gives access to LISP programming, which is much more flexible.

See this question which is all in all very ilmilary

Indeed GT22, it's the same person who asked the other question! But the problem is not similar!

Hi all

Indeed, I was already the one who asked the question "Script for DraftSight".

In this case, if the script made changes to a plan (adding a number), the plan is printed and then closed.  I didn't want the original plan to be changed.

Setting the "DISPLAYDIALOGS" variable to "No" does not prevent the "Save Changes..." " to open up.

I simply solved my problem by saving the file to another name, so when I close it I don't have the backup request that appears.

Thanks to .PL and gt22 for looking into my problem.

A+
