Can't overwrite Acad2017doc.lsp file

[iwafb]

Hi All,

Can I overwrite/copy a new version of the Acad2017doc.lsp file from a custom directory to C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2017\Support\en-us?

I have written several programs which I distribute as fas files. Unfortunately, Autodesk does not provide Autoload definitions for fas files so we have to modify the definition on the Acad2017doc.lsp. When I try and copy this file from our custom directory to C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2017\Support\en-us, nothing happens. It's as if there is something trying to block it.

Cheers,

Dart

Why would you want to? Acad2017doc.lsp is intended for Autodesk's use. Your own stuff should go to acaddoc.lsp.

- If it doesn't already exist, create it anywhere on the support file search path.

Because Autodesk don't include fas files in the autoload definition...

So why can't you use acaddoc.lsp ?

Don't use that one, use your own.

Add your own to the auto startup list. Use command APPLOAD, then setup suite. See image attached.

After setup restart AutoCAD to see changes in effect.
