I haven't used any of them in any of my applications, but I am looking into it now. Do the express tools come standard? I know that you have the option to install them during the setup. Could the arx be sent with any application created or is it bound by the EULA? My thought was that if they purchased acad they also have the express tools, if they don't install them but you send the arx they could still be run.
Anythoughts?
I only use the following express files <I'm am rethinking this approach>:
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Misc Express Functions that need loading ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;;;
;;; (ARCH:EXPRESS-TOOLS) ;;ARCH_Initialize.fas file loaded by ARCH.mnl
;;; (if (not ai_table)(load "ai_utils.lsp"))
;;;
;;; Express Tools Note: routines used by the Arch Program
;;; These files need to be loaded for the arch express tools to function.
;;; The remaining express tools within the express folder are not required.
;;; Each major AutoCAD upgrade will need these files upgraded also:
;;;
;;; acetauto.lsp
;;; acetutil.fas
;;; acetutil2.fas
;;; acetutil3.fas
;;; acetutil4.fas
;;; acetutil.arx
;;; acetutil.dll
;;;
