LOADCTRLS =2 didn't working right

Anonymous — Thu, 02 Mar 2017 08:11:31 GMT

I was confused that I set the value of LOADCTRLS as 2, which means the assembly will run when AutoCAD is open. But the reality is I have to input the command. by the way the version of AutoCAD is 2016. I'm not sure if it's because the setting of LOADCTRLS has changed. Or it's caused by some other things.

Can anybody tell me how can I figure it out. Thanks anyway!

With LOADCTRLS == 2 your dll-file have to be loaded on AutoCAD startup if DEMANDLOAD is not set to 0.

Is DEMANDLOAD a parameter or a setting? How can I set it to 0. Please show me with a code example. Thx.

Hi,

DEMANDLOAD is a system variable.

You cannot set a system variable by code untill your app is not loaded.

Now I know DEMANDLOAD is a system variable. Sorry I didn't make it clear. I was writing a plug-in with .NET. And as far as I know, DEMANDLOAD is a variable for ObjectARX programs. I don't know whether it can be used for .NET programs. Further more, the default value of DEMANDLOAD is 3. That means "Demand-loads the source application when you open a drawing that contains custom objects or when you invoke one of the application's commands". And in the circumstance, I still need to input the demand even though LOADCTRLS was set as 2. That is to say DEMANDLOAD is not useful for .NET programs.

So here comes the problem, based on a .NET programs, and I've set LOADCTRLS as 2, What else should I do if I want to load a plug-in when I open a drawing that contains custom objects?

Maybe you should set LOADCTRLS at 1(1 - Load application upon detection of proxy object) or at 3 (2 | 1).
