Map extraction / path problem (Arcgis For Autocad 410)

[michaljanda]

Hello,

I want to ask if the "esri_maplayer_extract" function works correctly or where I'm making a mistake

When I use this function: (esri_maplayer_extract 1 "C:\RASTER\TESTING.png")

The map is not saved in the correct directory. It looks like the function ignores backslashes and the directory name is appended to the file name.

Am I making a mistake when entering?

Kind regards,

Hello Michal,

In AutoLISP and Common LISP the backslash is considered an escape character. So, if we want a literal backslash it must be escaped.

(esri_maplayer_extract 1 "C:\\RASTER\\TESTING.png")
