madmonocle Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 What is the best method to load a .DVB file automatically on AutoCAD startup (besides the startup suite)? I tried loading it via ACAD.lsp, but every time a new drawing is opened in the same session you end up getting an error because it is trying to reload a DVB that is already loaded (from the last session)...

Acad.lsp is for loading LSP, FAS, and VLX files... Acad.dvb is for loading DVB files, and functions similarly. Cheers [Edit] - In 2012+ you can use the new Autoloader Mechanism to preclude the need for any Acad* files, or preexisting registry loaders, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 ACAD.lsp should only load once on each session, check that ACADLSPASDOC = 0. SEE THIS AND THIS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kunekainen Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) Hi! Set "SECURELOAD=0" first and rename your dvb file to "acad.dvb" and place it to the folder which contains acad.exe. It should work. Also, you can have multiple macros in acad.dvb file, so all of them can be loaded at start-up.
