I'm am attempting to export models from Plant 3D using ExportToAutoCAD. However, I don't want to be prompted as to whether I want to overwrite, I just want it to save these files out, whether the file exists or not.

My lisp skills are sorely lacking but I thought I might try this statement, but my syntax is incorrect:

((if(findfile DWGN2))(command "-EXPORTTOAUTOCAD" "2010" DWGN2 "y")(command "-EXPORTTOAUTOCAD" "2010" DWGN2))

What is the correct way to write this?

There is probably much better way to accomplish this task so any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,
Mitch

You can try this code. Please note the parameters of the -EXPORTTOAUTOCAD may vary but important is the CMDACTIVE code:
 
(command "_-exporttoautocad" "_f" "2010" "" MYFILENAME)(if (=(getvar"cmdactive")1)(command"_Y"))
