UNC Path Question

Anonymous
Not applicable

I am currenly on Windows 7 and AutoCAD Mechanical 2012 and have been using LISP routines with no issues.  We are trying to push the routines more globally and the IT guys want to use UNC path instead of a names map drive.  Normally we map the drive to options>File>Support File Search Path and place a file called LIPSFILES which is nothing more than a list of programs to load (LOAD "program1") to the APPLOAD Startup Suite.  When trying to do this with the UNC \\network\home\acad\ this will not work.  I've tried a few things but no luck.  Is there some info out there that can help or guide me in the right diredtion?  Can I add \\network\home\acad\ to the options>File>Support File Search Path.  How does the LIPSFILES need to change?

Are you going to enter the file name in each computer using appload command?

if so, try to enter in filename:

 \\network\home\acad\LIPSFILES.LSP

 

Hope this helps,
Henrique

Lisp commands require a double backslash to get a single backslash or alternatively, use a single forward slash for each backslash.
