Automatically Load Lisp Routine Issues

CAD-Geek — Tue, 03 May 2016 11:19:27 GMT

I created an .exe file that extract acad.lsp file in Autocad Directory

%appdata%\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2014\R19.1\enu\support

and it extract another folders and files in C:/CAD/....

in acad.lisp file (load "C:/CAD/Support/POS.vlx") the pos.vlx file it extract by .exe

but not loaded Automatically

Hi BKKAr_drafter,

AutoCAD will load the first acad.lsp file found.

Will load only in the first dwg, if ACADLSPASDOC = 0

Test if the new acad.lsp file is the one AutoCAD finds

(if (findfile "acad.lsp")
    (startapp "notepad" (findfile "acad.lsp"))
)

Hope this helps,
Henrique

No, just copy/paste that bit of code in the command line, it will open the acad.lsp AutoCAD finds, or nil if none...just for testing...

If that (load) function is in acad.lsp, with ACADLSPASDOC set to the default value of 0, it will [as @hmsilva pointed out] load only in the first drawing when AutoCAD is opened, but not in later drawings you open in the same AutoCAD session. Is that what happens? Or does it not load even in the first drawing? That's what @hmsilva's suggestion is to test for, by opening the one that it finds if there's more than one, so you can check whether it is the one that contains the (load) function. It's not something you should add to your file(s) anywhere.

If it loads in the first drawing only, but you want it to load in every drawing, either change ACADLSPASDOC to 1 to make it do that, or [what most people do instead] put that (load) function into your acaddoc.lsp file. If you don't have one, make one, even if that's the only thing in it -- you'll find other things to put in it.

there is my acad.lsp

the issue is the Profile (cad_user) load well but the POS.vlx not load

@hmsilva i test your code i restart autocad and open multiple drawing and the code open acad.lsp well is that what you asking about ?

;Load Visual Lisp
(vl-load-com)
;Import the "CAD_User" Profile from the network
(vl-catch-all-apply 'vla-importprofile (list
(vla-get-profiles (vla-get-preferences (vlax-get-acad-object)))
"CAD User"
"C:/POS CAD Standard/CAD/Support/CAD_User.arg"
1)
)
;Set "CAD_User" Profile current
(vla-put-ActiveProfile (vla-get-Profiles (vla-get-Preferences (vlax-get-acad-object)))"CAD User")
;Set the "modemacro" sysvar to report the latest profile
(SETVAR "modemacro""POS")
(setvar "layereval"0)
(setvar "layernotify"0)
(setvar "dispsilh"1)
(setvar "intersectiondisplay"1)
(setvar "hideprecision"1)
(load "C:/POS CAD Standard/CAD/Support/POS.vlx")

Yes, that was what I was asking.

How there are spaces in the path, try

(load "\"C:/POS CAD Standard/CAD/Support/POS.vlx\"")

Hope this helps,

I replace the spaces with (_) and load failed

If you copy/paste

(findfile "C:/POS_CAD_Standard/CAD/Support/POS.vlx")

in the command line, what is the return?

Re: Automatically Load Lisp Routine Issues

Autocad return this

(findfile "C:/POS_CAD_Standard/CAD/Support/POS.vlx")
"C:\\POS_CAD_Standard\\CAD\\Support\\POS.vlx"

I tried your code and again

@hmsilva this is the pos.vlx properies

Weird....

With appload command, can you load POS.vlx file?

Henrique

Re: Automatically Load Lisp Routine Issues

CAD-Geek — Wed, 04 May 2016 12:21:22 GMT

Yes i can load it by appload and that's is make me mad
When i tried to copy POS.vlx file the original one and paste it it (c:\pos_cad_standard\.....) and run load code it's loaded well too

I had a doubt the Properties of pos.vlx file (Read only and hidden)

If it finds the file, but loading it fails, it seems there must be something wrong in the file itself. One other thing you can try to find out: rather than doing it in a (load) function, try the APPLOAD command, navigate to the file location, and Load it. [Never mind -- didn't see some subsequent messages.]

Hi BKKAr_drafter,

If i understand your post correctly (and correct me if i'm wrong) - are you trying to load multiple custom LISP routines at once or as they are invoked?

If so, have you tried creating an ACADDOC file?

You can see my example of an ACADDOC file attached.

Thanks,

Bevan
