Autolisp - Hide "Open As Read Only" Dialog Box
I'm trying to open up several drawings at the same time, run code on these drawings (skip if read only), and then close the files. The problem I'm running into is that if I open a file that is write protected, the following dialog box appears and stops the code. Is there a function or command to open files without having this dialog box appearing? An enable/disable capability?
The cad application I'm using is DraftSight.
Solution
There is a tricky method. ( thanks @LeeMac)

If returns nil it means file is locked.
