Topic: Do you lose code when AutoCAD crashes ??

Do you lose code (because you forgot to save it) when AutoCAD crashes ??


Here's a fix.

Make a NEW Project from the VLIDE.
Call it whatever takes your fancy.
Add the source file(s) that you are working on to the project.

Whenever you want to reload the code to test changes ONLY Select the 'Load Source Files' button on the Project dialog.
You will be prompted to save if the file has not been saved.

and while I'm thinking about Development,
a couple of things to play with file pathing ...

Code: [Select]

;|
(setq DevPaths   (list "K:\\kdubpro2010;"
                       "K:\\kdubpro2010\\source\\pipefittings;"
                 )
)

(AddDevPath DevPaths)

(RemoveDevPath DevPaths)

(defun AddDevPath (DevPaths / IAcadPreferencesFiles pathsString)

                                (vla-get-preferences (vlax-get-acad-object))
                              )
        pathsString           (vla-get-supportpath IAcadPreferencesFiles)
  )
  (vla-put-supportpath IAcadPreferencesFiles
                       (strcat (apply 'strcat DevPaths) pathsString)
  )
  (princ)
)
