STARTUP LISP ROUTINES

[Anonymous]

I have converted from R14 to 2002. I am useing R14 lisp routines and bonus
tools in 2002 as well. However, when Autocad 2002 loads, it loads now 7
.LSP files AND the .MNL. Is there any advantage to combining the 7 lisp
files into just one, or two? Would that make it load faster? Is there any
problems running or loading the same things multiple times if its duplicated
in multiple lisps?

I Kinda figure there IS an advantage, I guess what I am asking is it Really
worth my TIME to do that?

It will load a little faster if all are in one file, but probably not enough
to notice on a fast computer.

Only you can determine if is it worth your time.
One advantage is having fewer files to keep track of.

If you are using a custom menu, you can put them in a .mnl file for the menu
but don't put them in the acad.mnl file.

Loading a routine multiple times will not cause a problem, unless you are
resetting global variables during the load that you might want to keep.
