    acaddoc.lsp not loading in 2013

    I have one pc that is not loading the acaddoc.lsp file we have setup company wide.

    Several other pc's that have 2013 load the file fine.

    I did a find file on the rogue pc and it finds the correct file.

    When we start a new drawing on this pc, I get this message:

    ; error: no function definition: AUTOLOAD

     

    Why would it work on other pc's but not on this one.

    The setups were the same on all.

     

    Thanks,

    Mike

    Is it possible that this rogue PC is finding a different file and perhaps that file has incorrect syntax?

     

    Acad will load the first acaddoc.lsp file it finds. Acad will look in the support folders starting at the top of the list (see attached). If your desired acaddoc file is in a path that is not at the top of the list, acad may be loading an acaddoc file in a secondary support path.

    AUTOLOAD is not a C3D, or AutoCAD, command. This tells me that the acaddoc.lsp has a call to this command which is defined in another custom lisp or dll that is not getting loaded prior to being called.

    Looked through the complete search paths.

    No other acaddoc.lsp that I can find.

     

    I'm going to try deleting lines of the acaddoc.lsp file and see if I can figure out which line is causing the error.

     

    Thanks.

    Autoload is a LISP command and it works on all the other 2013 pc's I have installed. (over 30)

    Everyone's installation is the same.

     

    I'm going to uninstall the profile and reinstall, then try it again.

     

    Thanks.

    I figured it out!!

    For some reason, he was missing the file search path that loaded acad2013doc.lsp

    Added that search path and it works fine.

    acad2013doc.lsp is a very different file from acaddoc.lsp
