Loading a Lisp file with VB.net

GeeHaa — Mon, 11 Nov 2013 16:45:02 GMT

Hi,

Is there a way to Load a lisp file from VB.net? All I want to do is load it so its available at the command Prompt.

Thanks in Advance

Have you tried SendStringToExecute() Method?

I only will do that as a last resort.

I tried

Autodesk.AutoCAD.Internal.Utils.RegisterLispCommand(LispCommandName, LispFilename)

But I get an eKeyNotFound error. I can't find any documentation about this method so I'm not sure what it does.

Thanks

It is better to avoid using any internal API, in this case RegisterLispCommand, when an alternative method (SendStringToExecute) is available. Internal methods will not have any documentation

How do you use the SendStringToExecute? I need an example please for loading a lisp routine.
