What is wrong with lisp execution in 2015?

[tim.turner]

In Autocad 2015 some lisp auto loads (acaddoc.lsp, appload, cui) and some don't, some lisp runs after a manual load and some don't. I use a DimNote.lsp from the Cadalyst tips (attached) which runs fine in 2012 and now it returns this message: "Command: DN ; error: quit / exit abort". Have checked files that don't work in the VLIDE and have not found any errors yet. Has there been some lisp requirement added like the (vl-load-com) was a while back?

Hi,

Looking at the error message an the LISP code, I think the error is raised by the (exit) calling here:

  (setq DCL_ID (load_dialog "dimnote.dcl"))
  (if (not (new_dialog "dimnote" DCL_ID))
    (exit)
  )

 Is the dimnote.dcl file in a search path ?

Yes it is. Won't attach as a .dcl though, I changed the extension.,

Hi,

I tested with AutoCAD 2015.

Both 'DimMote.lsp' and 'DimNote.dcl' are in the same folder.

This folder is added to the AutoCAD search paths and trusted paths in the Files tab of the Options... dialog.

All works fine for me.

Gilles brings up the most critical part:
you have upgraded from 3012 to 2015...
there have been a lot of "security" changes in that time...
even if you have enabled a force load for unsecure locations for the lisp file, if the dcl isn't in a trusted location, well... there ya go...
so, ensure that both the lisp and dcl are in a trusted location (and, if the dcl is in a subfolder, ensure that subfolders of the trusted location(s) are included in the trust... help files and many, many posts on the subject since 2013 sp1 will take you a long way...
