create symbol with skill

I have a text file with coordinates for a number of shape symbols that I need to create. My problem is how I inside skill can create a new .dra file and then draw the shape and save the .dra/ssm file.

I've look at numerous axl functions without getting something to work - does anyone have an idea?

I could probably create scripts to generate new shape symbols and save them using scripts, but I would rather avoid using scripts.

Best regards

Hi Dave
Thats weird, since the code does contain "axlSaveDesign(?noMru t)" so that should be fine, but only the .dra file is saved, no ssm.
Maybe its because I only run the defun and not the complete skill program?
Best regards
Ole

hi Dave and Ejlersen,
Did you solve your problem?
Because I want to create file.osm associated to my .dra file. And axlSaveDesign does only create my .dra file.
Have you got any solution for that? Thanks

Try using axlCompileSymbol

axlCompileSymbol(

    [?symbol t_name]

    [?type t_type]

    [?silent t/nil]

    [?silentOnOverwrite t/nil]

)

Thanks a lot, it works.
Just an information: You have to do that after axlSaveDesign of your file.dra
Otherwise it does not compile the symbol.osm
