Load Tool Palette automatically

[muthineni]

Is there any option to load the dll on every drawing opened, like vba macro is laoded in startup suite. or is there any possibility to open a tool palette on every drawing opened. Thank you.

This wasn't the solution for me because our IT department retricts access to the registry.  My solution was to use an AutoLisp routine at startup to load the .dlls when autocad loads.

btw dlls only need loading once, usually when autocad starts or demand loaded as per the link.  I dont think a 'per document' dll load exists and I can't think of a situation of when one would be required.

All the best.

If your using AutoCAD 2012, give the Autoloader a look.  See the thread below:

I am promoting this becasue it has worked out VERY well for us!  No lisp or registry edits required!  I simply run a script on each users machine at logon that copies the application(s) to the proper local folder!!!  My process is just one of many options to get the files to the local machine.
