Does anyone know how to create a message dialog box that opens automatically with the drawing ? The purpose of the message would be basic f.y.i of the drawing, etc. messages could be taylored for individual drawings as needed.
 
A basic dialogue box can be made with the lisp function "alert". Syntax is:
(alert "text message here in quotes")
You could have this run at startup using one of the many typical methods, such as placing it in you acad.lsp file, a routine placed in your startup suite, etc.
 
I was wanting dialog box to appear with specific individual drawing files. Won't run at start up cause it to always appear ?
