ACAD lisp

Where is the acad lisp located in Civil 3d

There isn't one, until you make it.

It can be located anywhere you want. If this is just for you, then I suggest making a folder like C:\CADSTUFF and put it there. Then add this path to the TOP of your Support File Search Path.

Same goes for AcadDoc.lsp (Don't try and only use Acad.lsp, and set ACADLSPASDOC = 1) this is bad practice.

I will need to load it with appload each drawing it will not auto load like the old acad.lsp did?

Nothing has changed.

It will load once per session, when AutoCAD/Civil 3D is launched.

AcadDoc.lsp loads with each drawing. It's been this way since AutoCAD 2000 introduced MDI.

You do not need to appload anything.

AutoCAD will search the support file search path for each of these files and load the first one it finds. Hence the reason for creating your own folder and placing the files in there, and then placing that folder at the TOP of the support file search path.
