Start autolisp routines from menu bar

How can I start autolisp routines from the menu bar?

I tried using CUI but could launch only macros and short lisp commands.

How can I call lisp routines from a menu bar or maybe a tool palette ?

Thanks.

In order to use custom lisp files you should be aware of this:

- have the lisp file loaded before the command is executed

So, enter "appload" + in the command bar and click on the button "Contents" in "Startup Suite". Add your lisp file in there. Close AutoCAD and run it again. You will probably not notice but the function is now loaded.

I assume you have your tool palette or menu ready to go. You need to add a macro to fire up a funtion. (Both the menu and toolpalette do this in the same way.)

A macro looks like this:

^C^C^Ptest;

^C^C is double escape key to exit running command

^P is no info on commandbar

test; is same as command "test" + .

I added some images (in case of toolpalette) to explain better. If you need more help, ask right away.

Mind the option "flyout", that should be "No" to add macro's.

Whenever you use the menu its beter (as I think) to load the lisp through menu itself, Its better than using LOADAPP

Thanks Marco - It was exactly what I was looking for. Yes my lisps load from the "start up suite".

Thanks Asos - I'll look into that.

No problem, you are welcome! :wink:

Just corrected typos.
