Can an ARX plugin be loaded through an SCR script file?

zhengyunyang2019 — Tue, 22 Oct 2024 11:30:04 GMT

I created an SCR file and input the command ("appload" "D:\work\ElecCoordinationSys.arx"), but it returned the error: "Error: Function error: 'appload' Command: APPLOAD."

Did you test your code by typing that at the commandline first?
Does it work or give you the same error, or something else?

Check if the missing file is in the right folder for To Locate Support Files.

Or something like this:

/ld D:\work\ElecCoordinationSys.arx.

@zhengyunyang2019 Have you tried this updated version:

(arxload "D:\\work\\ElecCoordinationSys.arx")

(ARXLOAD "D:\\work\\ElecCoordinationSys.arx")

You did it the right way. Thank you

And use "\\" in the path to take effect, not "\"

Yes, either double backslashes "\\" or single forward slash "/" like this:

(arxload "D:/work/ElecCoordinationSys.arx")

Now if you add D:\work to your AutoCAD Options>Files>Support File Search Path then you don't even need to include the path in your loading code:

(arxload "ElecCoordinationSys.arx")

Hello, I have a new problem, what if I want to load a dll file? Which command should I use?

I tried (netload "xxx.dll"), but the message "no function definition: NETLOAD"

Did you try:

(command "netload" "xxx.dll")

FYI: You'll need to include the path if it's not located in one of the Support File Search Path
