DODGE Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Hi Guys I have a number lisp I use mainly to number cabinets in my drawings, that's all fine. The problem I have is, everytime I need to use it I have to load the lisp via APPLOAD, then type NUM to start numbering. Is there anyway I can load the lisp once only in my template, then when I start a new drawing, it's already loaded, so I just have to type NUM.

Cad64 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 One way to do this is to add the lisp routine to your startup suite: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2016/ENU/AutoCAD-Core/files/GUID-B38F610B-51FB-4938-BDEC-A0A737F5DB6C-htm.html Another way to do it is to add a line of text to your acaddoc.lsp file to load the lisp routine when you open or start a new drawing. Something like this: (load "C:/Users/Admin/AppData/Roaming/Autodesk/ApplicationPlugins/NUM.lsp") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGAL Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Just another alternative to simply loading a lisp you can use either a menu or a toolbar, this way its only loaded when required. You can also repeat the command again by typing "NUM" in your case or picking the menu again. You do though need to set up the lisp to use a command line call.

BIGAL Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 You put a tool bar in your tool belt next to the sky hooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
