What does your AutoLisp programming directory look like?
« on: January 30, 2020, 07:07:50 PM »
Do you have a folder with a bunch of different projects/files in it or do you like a folder for each different project?

Please share a description of how your programming directory looks like.

You didn't include a "Both" option, John. I don't have many 'projects' per se, with many files. I do have separate folders for plain Acad, Civil 3D, & Land Desktop tools. But, within each of those folders are a multitude of files, most of which don't rely on any others. Now, if I were still actually coding in lisp and creating Dialogs, I would likely go with the folder per project option.

A folder for each project. I use a local SVN

Glad I wasn't the first to post who didn't know what a lisp project was. Do you need to put every folder in the SFSP and Trusted Locations? What's the purpose?

For Civil 3D it makes sense to keep drawings and associated files in a project folder, but this is the first I've ever heard of an AutoLisp programming directory.

What for? Before loading lisp turn off secureload system variable, and restore it after loading codes.

When you create a program to "Move all stuff to Layer X" (for example) you don't/didn't create a folder for that lisp file(s)?

That's interesting. One git repo and many projects?

I got out of AutoCAD and AutoLisp before trusted locations came about but apparently you can add an ellipsis after the path to include all sub-folders to the trusted locations.

Oh! You're a subfolder person too. I get it, sorry. I misread your post.

no
i will append the function to LayersLib.lsp

i have around 20 lsp libraries
i compile them
i load all of them with every drawing

Yes the trusted paths … un documented !

For me 40 years programming around 7 directories, plus a couple of temporary \compiled-client.

Re load them all by Vovka you can use Autoload function to load once command is typed, I use also (if (not xxx)(Load "correct lisp")) the xxx is defun name.

One directory has 116 lisps as a commercial product easier to maintain, written 30 years ago and keeps getting added to, need to join some to shrink that number but when you look at 30 year old code realise how wrong you did it then.

Folder for Shared Library files
Folder for each Project subdivided as needed.
All under Git

Then a test structure emulating the clients setup which represents deliverables.

but I haven't touched Lisp for a year or so.
