Is it possible to use relative path in AutoCAD script

soonhui — Tue, 06 Sep 2022 10:18:20 GMT

I have an AutoCAD script, AutoNetLoad2023.scr, which is located at

C:\Users\User\Documents\Civil3DIntegrator\Test

The content of the script is as per below:

netload "C:\Users\User\Documents\Civil3DIntegrator\Test\bin\Debug\2023\Civil3DIntegratorTest.dll" RunCADtests

Note that the Civil3DIntegratorTest.dll is located a few directories below the location of the AutoNetLoad2023.scr.

I wonder is it possible to modify the content of the script so that I can somehow specify the relative path of Civil3DIntegratorTest.dll ( to the AutoNetLoad2023.scr script), instead of absolute path?

Hi,

Did you try like this?

netload ".\bin\Debug\2023\Civil3DIntegratorTest.dll" RunCADtests

@_gile , I tried, no, it doesn't work.

netload "..\bin\Debug\2023\Civil3DIntegratorTest.dll" RunCADtests

Also not working

Even if I wrote my scr as lsp file as such:

(command "netload" "..\\bin\\Debug\\2023\\Civil3DIntegrator.dll")

It also doesn't work, the F2 only tells me Unable to load ..\bin\Debug\2023\Civil3DIntegrator.dll assembly

I've no idea why.

Try:

(command "netload" ".\\bin\\Debug\\2023\\Civil3DIntegrator.dll")

Another thing: the path have to be relative to directory the script is called from.

@_gile , no, this command also doesn't work. Lisp also doesn't know how to interpret relative path.
