Tip 2245: Date Reminder Ramakrishna Acharya's Date Reminder is an example of how you can use Visual LISP to help you remember task deadlines and other important dates. AutoCAD will present the reminders you specify on the dates that you define. In the file download, you will find a DOC file that describes how to integrate the program into your environment for automatic operation. Or, you can manually load the LSP source file, then type Reminder to display a list of upcoming important dates. A sample file of dates, DATE.REM, is supplied for you to expand and change using Notepad. Each line in the file is a date of interest, with the date listed in DD.MM.YYYY format followed by the reminder note that you want to display automatically. This is a wonderful tool for personalizing AutoCAD. Thanks for the tip, Ram! |
