Hi

It might work if you keep your Lisp file in the shared Documents and load them up to each computer individually .

good luck.

Hello

 

Is is possible to load autolisp files to all network linked computers without sharing them.

Sure. Place the files on the network file server, and load them from there.

You can do this with other files also, like menu files, pgp file, shape files, etc.

We have shorthand defuns in our autoload.lsp file and you just need to make sure the server path is in your support path "config files" and the lisps will load automatically. 10 computers on network.

How is "autoload.lsp" being loaded?

Why not just put them in "acaddoc.lsp"?

To Rkmcswain Autocad seems to be able to autoload a number of files as you say our autoload.lsp is on the server and the only reference to it is in the "config files support path" acaddoc.lsp must do the same thing just been that way for years and have just kept adding to it.

Just loaded 2011 and made no mention to autoload.lsp but it worked will check maybe its getting added in the appload startup suite via loading our profile.

Typical line in autoload.lsp

(autoload "TEXT2LINE" '("TEXT2LINE"))

Not sure which is better acaddoc or autoload.

To my last post the autoload.lsp appears in my loaded programs 2011 list so its been added when you load a profile.
