Automatically Load Lisps

I would like to automatically load the lisps I use on a daily basis (there are many) without using the startup suite. I have an autocad.lisp with all my lisp programs. The Acad.lsp program, found in Program Files\Autodesk\MDT2008\Support, doesn't work. I am quite new to this type of stuff. I have always used the startup suite but that has it's limits. Attached is my Autocad.lsp program.

I appreciate any help

Acad.lsp

By default "Acad.lsp" only loads once, at application startup, and lisp routines are loaded into memory on a per-drawing basis, so they probably work in your initial drawing, but not subsequent ones.

Fortunately, AutoCAD provides a way to do what you want.

Rename your file to "acaddoc.lsp", and it will load each time a drawing is loaded (assuming it's the first file of this name in the support file search path)

To make future migration easier...

1. Create a new directory like "C:\CADSTUFF", and put "acaddoc.lsp" in there

2. Add "C:\CADSTUFF" to the TOP of your support file search path.

Then in the future, if you upgrade or reinstall on the same machine, you only have to do #2.

If you move to a new machine, simply copy "C:\CADSTUFF" over and do #2.

This saves you from getting your 'personal' files mixed in with the program files.

Hopefully I have done this right Mr. McSwain.

I made a new file in "Support", called CASPER which put it at the top of "Support" and added the Acaddoc.lsp to it.

Is that it?

And if so many, many thanks!
