Topic: Question 30 goes here

[Mark]

How to load a routine without having it being part of a acaddoc.lsp, acad.lsp, not inside of the suite, not part of any startup, not even being saved inside of any support folder of autocad.

The routine will be loaded only if exist and still is inside of the original folder location, the user will need to load the routine from there, called or not the routine command and after that, save it, and the next time the drawing session is open it will call the routine to be loaded.

How do you enable that?

Not sure if I fully comprehend the question, but it sounds to me like a round about way of referring to mnl files.

Not even inside of an MNL

Here are the steps:

1. Load the routine from any where
2. Saved the drawing
3. Open that drawing and the routine is available, without being load from any other means just by itself...

And no reactors too.

HTH

Ah, you mean persistant reactors (evil). Thanks for the hints.

Well, when somebody DOES answer this one, I may change the way I do things around here.

Edit: I did see that in the Dev. Help files a while back, but never persued it. I have thought of some apps that will make use of something like this. I think I'll persue this now.  :ugly:

Re-edit: OK, no persistant reactors, check.

No persistant reactors too...

Just by itself... on every drawing the routine was used.....

Well number one is easy just include the entire path in the load statement.

(load "Y:\\Common\\AUTOLISP\\ad.lsp)

Getting it to reload is trickier if you don't add it any of the files you mentioned.

Or is there a secret sysvar we haven't heard about yet. :pissed:

No.... nothing that has to do with any normal way we all know, it is a secret way... that is why the question.... hehe

How about via a script file? :realmad:

[MP]

Well lol, I think you've a dandy of a question 'cause I dunno.

[whdjr]

I GOT IT!!!

How about loading it via a field in a drawing.

Hey Luis wait awhile before posting the answer, we've some friends that are probably into rem sleep right now that would likely enjoy anteing up an answer.

That is a normal way.... is something else.... and it is very efective, the only condition is that the drawing would look if the routine was loaded and tried to call it, every time the drawing session is opened... and of course if the routine file exists... if not if will simple show a message, saying something.... hehe

If you don't want to post it yet that's fine but if I am close please PM me.  If I am way off base then don't worry about it.
