Title: Help Mapping custom LISP to CUI location
Post by: capsochist on January 26, 2023, 08:27:04 PM

Hello!

I wrote the attached LSP with the intention of automatically mapping a folder containing custom LSP files to the main acad.cuix upon execution.

I am going this route instead of the "more standard" acaddoc.lsp for a number of experimental reasons that may not be worth getting into.

The LSP seems to find the files correctly, however, I am struggling to figure out how to apply the directory path to the cuix. AutoCAD opens the CUI dialog for every LSP path I want to map but fails to set the directories correctly.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Might have to add that folder to the support path or trusted locations.

Thanks for the input - That doesn't seem to resolve the issue. I can get the LSP to execute - I am just struggling to figure out how to get the attached LSP to apply the changes within the CUI file.

I simpler way is to make custom CUI or start with a mnu, then just menuload and all done, I have 8 custom menus loaded plus 3 toolbars.

I have been doing it this way for like 40 years. I always started with a mnu.

Code: [Select]

(setq *files*  (vla-get-files  (vla-get-preferences (vlax-get-Acad-object))))
(setq paths (vla-get-SupportPath *files*))
(vla-put-SupportPath *files* (strcat "C:\\CAD-TOOLS\\SLIDES;C:\\CAD-TOOLS\\IMAGES;C:\\CAD-TOOLS;" paths))
(setq oldtrust (getvar 'trustedpaths))
(setvar 'trustedpaths (strcat oldtrust ";" "c:\\CAD-TOOLS"))
