dvb autorun issue

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have an issue; I need to autorun a dvd as soon as a drawing is opened. I used acad.dvb (and acad.lsp) but it works only when I fire up the application(if autocad is running and I try to open another drawing acad.dvb is not working anymore). I tried to use "document-activate" and call the procedure from acad.dvd but in my procedure i have to send a command like "thisdrawing.sendcommand..." and autocad crashes and I get "Fatal error....".
I appreciate any sugestion.

Thanks

without seeing your code or knowing where you have made your declarations,
its difficult to ascertain where the problem may lie.

In the help files there is a section titled Guidelines for Writing Event Handlers which states not to use interactive functions such as SendCommand.

Have you looked at AcadDoc.lsp instead of Acad.lsp?
