acad2023doc.lsp not being read

[dtiemeyer]

in my Support File Search Path the very first row is:

C:\programdata\pba-jdrive\autocad 2023\pba\support

in that folder I have a file:  acad2023doc.lsp which in turn loads several other LSPs.

However this file is not being read. It was my understanding that acad2023doc.lsp should be read every time a drawing is created or opened. If i drag acad2023doc.lsp into my drawing, everything runs without error and all subsequent LSPs run without error.  Any thoughts on why this does not run initially (when a drawing is opened or created)?

Hi,

You should not create an acad2023doc.lsp nor an acad2023.lsp file. These files are already provided by Autodesk and must not be modified because they are reserved for Autodesk who may edit them during an update.

You should create a file named acaddoc.lsp (or acad.lsp). Read this topic.

Thanks, renaming it to acaddoc.lsp seems to have fixed it. Guess my memory has gotten fuzzy about which autoloading files are for users and which are reserved for Autodesk. (Spending too much time in Revit probably, ha).

Thanks again.

Using Appload and save in Startup Suite the lisps you want to be loaded, used this for years so no conflict with any defualt acad???.lsp etc
