Defining a "source file search file" path thru Lisp or command line

cyberflow — Tue, 06 Aug 2019 14:59:24 GMT

Hi,

I was asking myself it there was a command line that could add a source file search path ?

Or a lisp that can do this ?

I would simply like to create a little lisp that i can run when i freshly reinstall or install a new version.

Been googling all morning on this and didn't see nothing that i could inspire myself to try and create this.

And no, I don't want to work with CUI profiles.

The answer depends on what you answer here:

Search path FOR WHAT?

90% will searched by the SupportPathes, in Autocad they are stored in the enviroment variable ACAD

(getenv "ACAD")

Something like this

; resets the paths usefull for update versions of Autocad
; by A Houston 2011
; This sets a reference to the install path of your product
; the gets are their for info maybe other use
; use this to find other settings
