Autoloading a Spanner program

[Anonymous]

My company runs a program call Spanner distributed by Wisebeck & Fraser CADtool and it will not Autoload the entire program. We ran this software in AutoCAD R14, but when we jumped to AutoCAD 2002 it would not run. We cotacted the company but they said it should run and that was about it. So any suggestions?

Works just fine for me in 2002. I just downloaded their demo and it works
for me. What are the exact error messages you are getting? Are you
autoloading this program with AutoCAD's autoloader?

I have the Appload loading a Spanner.lsp file upon startup. This in return tells AutoCAD 2002 to load the span12.lsp and then run the Sheetall command. When each drawing loads it is supposed to look and see if a spanner sheet needs to be updated by the use of the sheetall command. It used to work in AutoCAD R14, but will not run the Sheetall command. It comes up and error "Unknown command SHEETALL". Any ideas?

The demo I d/l'd didn't have a spanner.lsp file in it. I'm assuming this is
a custom file you created. Can you post the code so that we can see what's
going on?

From your description it should just be doing something like this:

(load "span12.lsp")
(c:sheetall)



You can't use (command "sheetall") because isn't not a real command you have
to call it like a lisp function just like any other C: function defined in
lisp. This is true for even R14, R13, R12 or any and all versions of
AutoCAD to date 😉

Thank you for that! I had it in the lisp routine like you said, so I changed it to c:sheetall and now it works.

Thank you again,
