Load lisp files automatically

[vishshreevT578L]

Hello....

I have lisp files which need to load every time in every drawing.

Is there any way that If I load it one time in one drawing it will automatically load for each drawing.

Thanks,

Vishal Gawde

Hello from France

Welcome to the Autodesk / AutoCAD Forums !

YES with the APPLOAD command, you can use the "ACAD AutoLoad" Feature

and you can have until 50 Routines loaded at each New DWG or each loaded existing DWG ...

Please look at the French PDF file attached ... SORRY for the French version !?

In addition be sure that your lisp is in a trusted folder (which it probably already is).

Another approach is to create an acaddoc.lsp file and add the load or autoload statements for your files.  Acaddoc.lsp is automatically loaded each time a drawing is opened.

Hello

+1 with Mr Dbroad

Please put your LSP files into an approved / trusted ACAD folder !

or you will have to run with SECURELOAD = 0 : unsecure !!

Also, in the CUI command, you can right click on LISP FILES and select LOAD LISP. This will add the lisp to your cui and should load in every new drawing.

@dbroad and @braudpat and @gccdaemon have all given you sage advice (as they always do).

I personally like to use acaddoc.lsp because in a networked environment you can make one customization that serves all.

I have all our custom palettes, toolbars, pipe networks, templates, lisp and plot files/setting stored in a standards folder under every users C:\ drive in case of network/server failure. I upload customization's (including a default ENU folder with lisp loaded into the CUI) to the server and the users update their locally stored items with some custom commands.

...but that's just how I run things. 😉

When you get windows 10, you will not be able to put ANYTHING in C:\

I ended up creating a new directory under  C:\

Then add it to Trusted Locations.
