Autoload.lsp Question

[dwk1204]

I have my autoload.lsp being loaded be my acaddoc.lsp which I have done for quite a while. It now does not work. If I am understanding correctly it is loading because I see it when I go into appload, I also see at the command prompt "Loaded", but not one routine in the autoload works? 

A sample of my routine is below:

(setq lisp_path (strcat "C:\\Users\\Public\\Team\\Autodesk\\GoogleDrive\\R19.1\\Linetypes\\team.lin"))

(load (strcat lisp_path "sanunknown") '("sanunknown"))
(load (strcat lisp_path "san8") '("san8"))
(load (strcat lisp_path "san10") '("san10"))
(load (strcat lisp_path "san12") '("san12"))
(load (strcat lisp_path "san15") '("san15"))
(load (strcat lisp_path "san18") '("san18"))
(load (strcat lisp_path "san24") '("san24"))
(load (strcat lisp_path "san36") '("san36"))
(load (strcat lisp_path "san48") '("san48"))

(princ " loaded")

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated !!

Just looking at your brief sample it looks like the path goes to a linetype file "team.lin"

If this is the case, you cannot use the load lisp function to load linetypes.

You would have to use AutoCAD's Linetype command & load option:

(command "_.Linetype" "_Load" (strcat lisp_path))

There's also a possiblity you are loading shape files under folder "team.lin".  But then you would use AutoCAD's Load command to do this:

(command"_.Load (strcat lisp_path "\\sanunknown"))

Then there's also a possibility that there are lisp files saved under "team.lin" subfolder then your load lisp function is missing a "\\":

(load (strcat lisp_path "\\sanunknown"))

You are seeing at the command prompt "Loaded" because the last line in yoru sample shows this statement:

(princ " loaded")

But that doesn't mean anything is necessarily "loaded".

Without any additional info, it's really hard to provide any more feedback.

You are using the load function, but supplying the syntax in the form required by the autoload function; change 'load' to 'autoload'.
