What is a JOB

Job is an automated task ran out of a command line script. The script is loaded to a session of ARES Commander providing command lines to be executed.

(setq OUTPUTDWG "FileName.dwg")
(command "RECTANGLE" "3C" "0,0" "0,10" "10,10")
(command "SAVEAS" "R32" OUTPUTDWG "Y")

Load and execute LISP commands and Plugins

CLIRectangle.lsp

(defun c:CLIsamplerectangle ()
(command "RECTANGLE" "3C" "0,0" "0,10" "10,10")
)
