Netload not loading

jvickS2BLK — Tue, 13 Jun 2023 19:56:25 GMT

I downloaded an autocad plugin from my organization and some people can run it but some cannot.

What I run the netload command and select my file no error's come up but it doesn't even seem like the netload command did anything since there is no dialogue in the command window after. Please help.

You don't provide much info to go on, so here's a few questions.

If you hit F2, is there any info in the command history that might deal with the netload?
Are you using the same version of AutoCAD as the others for whom the dll works?
Is the folder where the dll is stored listed in the support file search path in Options?
Is the folder listed in the Trusted Paths section of Options?

1. It says "Unknown command press F1 for help"

2. Yes I am using the same version as everyone else. I even did the previous two versions just to make sure.

3. Yes

4. Not sure how to see that.

I'm not talking about when you try to run a command, but when you issue the NETLOAD command. It should just show NETLOAD at the command line, with no error messages.

How are you netloading it? By manually typing in the NETLOAD command?

I type in Netload, hit enter, it takes me to the file I want to load, I open it, nothing happens.

Yes, you said that already, but does the command history (F2) give you any feedback or error messages?

Command: NETLOAD
Command:
Command:
Command: Unknown command "82". Press F1 for help.
Command: NETLOAD
Command: NETLOAD

This is exactly what it says.

I did have a co worker who had their entire computer factory reset and and installed autocad and the plugin before our organization added all their security measures and it still works after they did that as well. I do not want to factory reset my computer. Hope this could direct this trouble shooting in the right direction.

I assume that you typed "82". Are you sure that's a valid command? You can run the ARX command to see if the dll defined any commands. Drag the height of your command line so you can see a page at a time. Type "ARX command {ENTER}" and hit enter to page through all the commands. They are organized by command groups. Look for the group that is defined by your dll and see what commands got loaded. If the group totally missing, then the developer has a bug preventing the dll from loading.

Command Group 'ACAD_DIM' DDIM, DDIM DIMSTYLE, DIMSTYLE MLEADERSTYLE, MLEADERSTYLE VIEWDETAILSTYLE, VIEWDETAILSTYLE VIEWSECTIONSTYLE, VIEWSECTIONSTYLE Command Group 'AcDmDimCmd'

I did not type 82 I clicked on an icon which is supposed to bring up a separate GUI, which if the netload would work would not have been an error.

There could be an issue with the cui not entering the right command. Do the ARX search to verify.

Just did the search and nothing is there for the dll I wanted to load.

Then there's nothing more you or I can do. There is most likely a software bug preventing the dll from loading properly. The developer needs to debug it. As to the reason why it runs on other pc's and not yours...the dll might have a dependency on some other dll or app that you don't have installed on your pc.

That is a bummer. Thank you for your help. I am uninstalling everything and starting form 0 to see what happens.

The problem is not with your AutoCAD installation, but the dll you are trying to load. It needs further testing.

@jvickS2BLK can you check the value of SECURELOAD variable in your autocad application? If it is set to 2, change it to 1

Did you download from app store or manually copied it?

If it is manually copied then can you please check the .dll properties? please tick unlock button on the properties.

Re: Netload not loading

jvickS2BLK — Thu, 15 Jun 2023 15:12:12 GMT

I tried that and still nothing.

Re: Netload not loading

jvickS2BLK — Thu, 15 Jun 2023 15:13:17 GMT

It was manually copied. I unchecked that box and it still does not work. I restarted Autocad as well.
