Topic: Startup Suite

[POCKETS]

My problem is...
I add a few autolisp programs to my startup suite, use them, get out of AutoCAD, come back and they are all gone. I am lost for a solution.
I'm using 2008
Thanks,
Pockets

The Startup Suite is known to be a touch unreliable... I would instead suggest you use the ACADDOC.lsp

The ACADDOC.lsp is loaded with every drawing, if it doesn't exist in your support path, you can create it.

Type

Code: [Select]

(findfile "ACADDOC.lsp")

To check if one exists - and if so, where it resides.

To load a LISP routine using the ACADDOC.lsp, type something like:

Code: [Select]

(load "C:\\mylisp.lsp" "Load Failed")

Or you can exclude the whole filepath if the LISP file resides in the support path.

Hope this helps,

Lee

Lee,
Thanks a million!!
I have come to the conclusion that the powers-to-be for this company, who are a thousand miles away and know nothing about AutoCAD have royally screwed things up and WILL not correct their errors.  Error. What error? We didn't make no stinkin' error!

Again, thanks
