Any idea why any AutoLISP command call is not working with attached bundle placed in any of the ApplicationPlugins folders.

Bundle code:

All enough to trigger this is (command "erase" "").
(command-s is not working either.

Regenerating model.

Might you have something that UNDEFINEs the native ERASE command, and makes a special (defun)'d new version? If so, it should work if you put the period prefix on the command name, to force the use of the native command:

(command ".erase" ...

Unfortunately not. It doesn't matter what actual command is used.

I've got the same result in AutoCAD 2014 and AutoCAD 2022 on 2 completely different systems.

You may get it working if you replace the function command with vl-cmdf

It does work as a workaround with vl-cmdf. But why is not (command) working?

I guess, perhaps the autoload bundle suites being loaded before AutoCAD loads its built-in command names and that's why the error message indicated to the rejection of the command name itself.

Synchronous commands are not supported. Therefore AutoCAD will cancel any inward command until the AutoCAD application becomes stable and active.

Workaround is vl-cmdf as an alternative to command.

Another way that worked is using s::startup

(defun mystartup ()

(princ "\nloaded")

(command "menubar" "1")

(princ "\nended")

)

(if s::startup

(setq s::startup (append s::startup (quote ((mystartup)))))

(defun s::startup () (mystartup))

)

(princ)

SendStringToExecute used in a DLL will also work.
