Lisps Not Automatically Loading

[Anonymous]

I have multiple lsp files that I have loaded using appload.  I click the option to add them to the startup suite and history, and they are in the startup suite and show in my history.  However, when I open a drawing, they do not automatically load.  Every time I open a drawing, I have to go back to appload and load the lsp files again.  Why are they not loading each time I open a drawing?  Thanks for your input.

Hi @Anonymous,

I see that you are visiting as a new member to the AutoCAD forum. Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

 I assume that when you load them manually, that the LISP routines work properly.  Do you get a security warning when you do?

Please check your Trusted Locations in OPTIONS to make sure that the location of the LISP files is there.

I have all the locations as trusted.  And yes, when I load manually they all work.  I do not get any error messages.

Hi @Anonymous,

Try adding them in the CUI instead then as @pendean has suggested.  Please let me know the results.

Add only one lisp woth the content:

(Princ "That works!")

And try it again. 

Is it working?

Ok.

Solution:

Create a s::startup function to load your stuff when acad is ready with loading a drawing file.

Got it resolved.  I think I had some conflicting paths and the lsp files were overwriting each other.  Thank you for everyone's help!!
