Autorun LSIP at open

Good evening all (at least for all that it is actually evening). I joined this forum in early '08, posted a few questions and got GREAT responses from all. And I thank everyone for their advice and assistance. I am back for the first time since 3/08, and I am proud to say that I have built a successful design company (freelance) along with landing myself a full time job as a draftsman.

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR INITIAL GUIDANCE!!!!

Anyhow... neither here nor there, I come looking for some advice and/or assistance with an "auto loading LISP routine". In my past two years of working with AutoCAD I haven't done much along the lines of Lisp / AUTOLisp (too much time spent learning the program's "basics".

What I am looking for, if possible, Is there a way to run a lisp routine when someone else opens one of my drawings. I know I can add a routine that auto loads when I open AutoCAD, but what I am looking for is a way to add it the drawing where it loads when someone else opens my drawing.

For example (pardon my poor lisp writing skills) but is it possible to load this when someone else opens my drawing;

(defun c:l()

(vl-load-com)(setq sapi (vlax-create-object "Sapi.SpVoice"))

(vlax-invoke sapi "Speak" "what the hell are you doing ? . . . . . . . . . . keep your hands off my stuff !" 0)(vlax-release-object sapi)

)

(c:l)

Thank you all in advance for your help, and I look forward to "joining" this forum full-time again. (sorry for the long winded post)

This is a highly debated topic for obvious reasons... LISP can include some very malicious code indeed...

And so, in many forums, threads on this topic are closed shortly after they are started.

I believe it can be done, storing data in the drawing to be read upon opening.

There is a discussion here I believe.

I didn't for one minute believe you did I just warned of the consequences of such knowledge.

That thread is an interesting read! ...Though I can't see where Luis posts his open source code (unless it is that simple stuff posted a few times that I can't make sense of). Or he may have deleted it. It would be quite useful to get a hold of some sort of template like that.

Yeah, the method was a bit beyond me too - but I kind of got the idea...

I think I too kind of got the idea but, steering clear of it 100%.

I think there'd be great possibilities in there though. Like fields but way more powerful (just gotta keep them out of the wrong hands)
