VX macro to open PDF?

#1

I would like to create a VX macro that opens a PDF file with a specified path.

Does anyone know how to do it?

Thank you

Hello,

Do you want to open a PDF in ZW3D?

Hello,
if you click in the menu help → Training manual → CAD_BasicCaseStudy then the pdf will open. So I would like a similar way to open other PDFs.

I tried recort the script and it shows me this
[vxSend,"$tm=2"]

so I suppose
[vxSend,"$open", "sensor_table.pdf"]

Does anyone have experience with this?
