Whip! html options

Autodesk created a routine that creates a html page using a program language called Lisp. Lisp is a programming extension to Autocad. This routine saves your drawing as a dwf and then saves it as a dwf and then creates a html file using the drawing filename just saved.

Lisp Examples
Example of Lisp Html Page (Saveall3.lsp)

Download the routine form the downloads page or elsewhere on this site or from Autodesks site.
Load the routine as you would normally, usually via the Appload dialogue box or via the command line. Enter "Saveall3" at the command prompe to run the routine.
You are prompted for the Directory to save the DWG, DWF and HTML to.
The following section of the Lisp routine is the Lisp equivalient to the HTML page above.

(write-line "<HTML>" FILE) (write-line "<HEAD>" FILE) (write-line "<TITLE>AutoCAD Generated Web Page</TITLE>" FILE) (write-line "<BODY bgcolor=ffffff>" FILE) (write-line "<CENTER>" FILE) (write-line "<H1>DWF file referenced in HTML file</H1>" FILE) (write-line "<P>" FILE) (write-line "This web page was generated by saveall3.lsp." FILE) (write-line "</P>" FILE) (write-line "<object" FILE) (write-line (strcat " id=\"" FILENAME "\"") FILE) (write-line " classid=\"clsid:B2BE75F3-9197-11CF-ABF4-08000996E931\"" FILE) (write-line " codebase=\"ftp://ftp.autodesk.com/pub/component_technologies/whip/whip.cab#version=3,1,36,35\"" FILE) (write-line " width=60%" FILE) (write-line " height=40%>" FILE) (write-line (strcat "<param name=\"filename\" value=\"" FILENAME".dwf\">") FILE) (write-line "<embed" FILE) (write-line (strcat " name=" FILENAME) FILE) (write-line (strcat " src=\"" FILENAME ".dwf\"") FILE) (write-line " pluginspage=\"http://www.autodesk.com/prodsol/ddraft/products/whip\"" FILE) (write-line " width=60%" FILE) (write-line " height=40%>" FILE) (write-line "</object>" FILE) (write-line "<P>" FILE) (write-line "Copy and paste the HTML tags into your own web pages." FILE) (write-line "</P>" FILE) (write-line "</CENTER>" FILE) (write-line "</HTML>" FILE)

The only variable used is the "filename". This code is editable if you are careful.
each line of HTML code is surrounded by the fllowing code (highlighted in red)...

(write-line" <html code here> " File)

The only variation is when the Lisp routine is combining variables with HTML code (Text), in this case you get ..

(write-line (strcat " <html " My-variable "code here> ") File)

So bearing this in mind you can edit this routine to generate a HTML code page with you own customisation. View the HTML code options page for details about the actual Whip tags.

See also Other Lisp Routines for generating a directory of drawing into dwf drawings and html pages.
