kevynm Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Hi, I am using Autocad 2010 and all of a sudden i realize that my recent files used stopped showing up in the application menu. I had set the no. of files to 9 but every time i open AutoCAD the recent files used space is empty. Is there any windows setting i need to change. I am using vista and slowly getting fed-up but no courage to upgrade to windows 7 cause i will have to re-install everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 It's an AutoCAD setting why would you inquire about a Windows setting? Maybe you're asking because the setting is stored in the Windows Registry? I read, but cannot confirm, that some overly aggresive antivirus programs may clear this setting but I've never had it happen and I run two antivirus programs on two different computers loaded with AC 2010. Did you go back reset it and click Apply? The default setting is 9 anyway. Did you change it to show more then change it back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevynm Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 did everything as per the book. still doesn't work, hence i assumed it was a windows reg. setting that is creating the confusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevynm Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 Well, I just reloaded AutoCAD incl. the update and all seems well, ecxept for some lisp programs I had "autoload-ed". They don't work any more. Guess I will have to add them to the startup suite, unless you give me a better idea. Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Where were they located before? In your acad.lsp or acaddoc.lsp file? I don't utilize the Startup Suite. For many years I have used the technique of "calling" my custom lisp routines which are stored in a totally separate lsp file. Never broke the habit.

kevynm Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 Hi ReMark, Could you please instruct me how to do the same. Please Thanks in advance Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I hesitate to pass on my bad habits to you. I recommend you search on the word acaddoc.lsp and see what others have to say regarding using it to load lisp routines. RKM had some very good suggestions in the past as to how to load lisp routines efficiently. Keep an eye out for any of his posts. And a word of advice. Don't drink, smoke or drive fast cars. And watch out for women too! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevynm Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 Will def. do so. I drink and I smoke..no fast car yet. But I am married to a dangerous woman. Commentez Si'l vous plait LTMBB Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
