AfraLisp Slide Manager
Creating Icon menus's in AutoCAD can be quite tedious. First you need
to create slides of all your drawings that you want to include in your
menu. Secondly, you need to create a text file with the names of all the
slides. Thirdly you need to run "Slidelib.exe" to create your
slide menu. And last but not least, you need to add all the menu items and
macros to your menu. A lot of work hey! Then, 2 months later you want to
add something to the menu and you have to go through the whole process
again.
This is where the "AfraLisp Slide Manager" comes in. This
application will allow you to create Slide Libraries without the overhead
of having to create slide libraries or modify your menu files.
Usage :
Create a root directory (eg. C:/Slidemanager) ensuring that
Slideman.Lsp, Slideman.Dcl and Filepath.Dat are within this directory.
Important : This directory MUST be added to your AutoCAD Support Path.
Next, create as many sub-directories as you wish, placing your drawing
files and slide files within these directories. (eg. C:/Slidemanager/Architecural;
C:/Slidemanager/Chains; C:/Slidemanager/NorthSigns; etc.)
Now, load and run "Slideman.Lsp"
The first dialogue is where you choose which library you wish to open.

The next dialogue is where you choose which block to
insert.
Anytime you wish to add new drawings to the slide library,
just add them to an existing library, or create a new one.
The only restriction is that only 75 drawings are allowed
in any one library. (This excludes the slides.)
