Run ARX code after AutoCAD is completely loaded

Anonymous — Fri, 10 Nov 2006 23:59:21 GMT

I have some ARX code that needs to be run one time after AutoCAD Map is
completely loaded. A reactor seems like the logical place for this code,
but I can't seem to find one for "AutoCAD has finished its incredibly long
initialization process."

Does anybody have any ideas?

Thanks,

Alan

You'll need to load one ARX at startup, and from the first kLoadDwgMsg in
that ARX issue a call to ads_queueexpr() to run an ADS command that the same
ARX defines. From the ADS command handler, load the second ARX that you
want loading after initialization is complete. 🙂

Owen,

Thank you for the information, but is loading a second ARX the only way? Is
there no way accomplish it within a single ARX?

Thanks,

Alan

The ADS command handler can do something other than load another ARX
module. It sounds like that's what you're after. 🙂

Thanks Owen! That seems to be working.
