Topic: Autocad Crashes While Running a Lisp on The Startup Suite

[Brick_top]

Hi there.

How can I remove any lisps from starting automatically without running autocad?

thanks

I fixed it but I had to reset my autocad settings from the start menu options

thanks

You might want to consider setting up an Acaddoc.lsp to load your lisp routines (vs. "startup suite").
It's a little more reliable and lives outside AutoCAD, so you can edit it without being in AutoCAD.


You can do lots of other stuff too such as preset variables when opening drawings.


Just a thought.

Couldn't agree with this more

See here, here (Method 2), here (second half), and perhaps here.

While I definitely agree that the AcadDoc.LSP route is a "better" way of going about loading custom lisps (or perhaps adding a MNL file to your CUI). This being one of the reasons. Another being the fact that it's then a simple file copy to install the same into another computer and/or new version of ACad. If you do run into such issues you need to edit registry:


The StartupSuite auto-loads are saved in each profile of each version of ACad separately. E.g. for the "unnamed" profile in Vanilla 2016 ACad they're under:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R20.1\ACAD-F001:409\Profiles\<<Unnamed Profile>>\Dialogs\Appload\Startup


You should be able to delete them using the regedit program (in Windows' Start menu start typing regedit and then click the regedit when found, you might need to answer Yes for admin rights).
