Website is open while opening dwg file

[lukas_vavricka]

Hello, 

I have this issue which is happening randomly. Sometimes while some of the dwg file is open it's also open the website in my web browser. I sometimes use that website to download blocks or lisp. I think last thing I downloaded is dwg block. Do you know how to get over it? Or at least How something like that is possible?

Thank you

@lukas_vavricka hi,

As far as i can understand (hope i am not wrong 😀), bringing a block from website does not create any link to that site on the other hand if the block contain some Hyperlink to that site and you activate that hyperlink from that block, it might open that website. maybe you are running some application (lisp command) that does that?

Hello @Moshe-A, 

Thank you for a response.

The thing is, it happends while opening DWG file. I do the double click on dwg file and file is open in Autocad app, but also at same time my browser open the website.
It's happening randomly, with different files. 

So it seems it's not conected to the lisp command directly.

@lukas_vavricka ,

if you open AutoCAD from its shortcut icon, than use open command, does this also happen?

[lukas_vavricka]

@Moshe-A 

I don't think so.

@lukas_vavricka ,

In file explorer does the dwg icon is for AutoCAD? if not, make sure AutoCAD DWG Launcher is the application to start it (or at least the AutoCAD Application it self). it sounds like a problem with your OS. are running win10 or win11?

which website is that?

Which blocks or content did you grab from there?

Did you ask them yet, you know, their free blocks, their marketing push to pre-load the website? That's all that seems to be, price you pay for free content I suspect.

Delete the temporary files once and after that try to open the dwg file. I hope it will solve your issue, and my guess please check once appload for the default lisp option cleared.

As a test create a new Windows account with local admin privileges. Then sign in using that new account and see if the problem is resolved

Sounds to me like as suggested there is a hyperlink in the dwg and it is set to open when you load the dwg.

You may have to look through every object and see if it has a hyperlink. You could then remove the hyperlink. Not sure how to do that.

(setq obj (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (entsel "\nPick object "))))
(vlax-dump-object (vlax-get obj 'Hyperlinks))
look at the "count" if it has hyperlinks it will show > 0

@pendean  @vladimir_michl So in the end  it was one of the VLX application which was checking it's own updates but it was directed to wrong wabedpage.
I am really suprised that something like that is possible.  I always though that lisp even vlx are scripts running only when the comand is called not independently with acces to the internet. 
Thank you for reactions!
