I thought about making this a new thread because it is kind of a tangent but then I decided it actually was tied to this discussion pretty close.
So, how do you load your lisp files?
Keith eluded to not liking the Autodesk lisp method but did not not elaborate on his method of choice,
and
CAB uses 'autoload' to load his lisp files on demand,
and
I use a mnl file to load all my lisp files at once
(I know it's not the correct way).
After researching CAB's method of using 'autoload' the Help files state that the 'autoload' command is to be used in the acad.lsp file. Well if I was supporting a network with 10 users and I wanted to add a couple of new commands I wouldn't want to go to all 10 stations to edit their acad.lsp files. That's why I like the mnl method where you set up each workstation initially to access that menu file and whenever you add to it the user just needs to restart AutoCad. Wouldn't it be nice to have the best of both worlds - a mnl file that loaded on demand lisp files.
Is that what you use Keith? Did you create something that marries the two together?
If I am way off base here please speak up. If this should be moved to its own thread that's ok.
Please comment on how you load your lisp files and why.
