Appload - Startup suite Problems.

[BlackBox]

I cant ever get it to work... think its because I just dont know how to use it. Can anyone tell me what file this is, and where would it be located?

"AutoCAD menu utilities"

 

Silly rabbit....

 

The menu utilities loaded fine.

 

The error came from one of your LISP files... Open your code in the VLIDE to check, correct, and save (re-compile?).

 

Good luck, young pedawan.

Found It! It was an error got it fixed but i do see this error can you explain this maybe?

 

in the acad2011doc.lsp i get 2 warnings

 

 

; warning: local variable used as function: SAVEVAR

Warning one goes here

(if (not (eq 'STR (type varname)))
               (princ "\nAI_SYSVAR: Bad argument type.\n")
               (savevar varname varvalue)

Warning two goes here

  ;; set a single system variable
     ((eq 'STR (type (car vars)))
        (savevar (car vars) (cdr vars))

You need to reconcile some parenthesis I think. They're not closed. I'm no Lisp programmer though so I dunno....

Like you've been told several times already - STAY OUT OF ACAD*####.lsp files!

 

Edit: Where is your CAD Manager!?

^^ What he said.

[jtk07]

Renderman,

 

I understand the problems here however that was the area that the former gentleman in charge changed and had the error! I removed the error he had pasted prior but while i removed it and it showed me where his code was in it it also displayed the following. All i am trying to do is get the Acad2011***.lsp back to OEM! I have posted asking for someone to send me an original non touched Acad(OEM).lsp a few times also with no luck. I do not want to uninstall acad and reinstall it. all i am asking is this normal out of the box to have the following Warnings Posted above? I am NOT changing anything in the files. I have learned from all of you but need to get back to original to do that.

Understood.

 

Perhaps the simplest solution, is for your IT department to provide you a copy of the files you require from the disk image of your platform's installation, in lieu of asking for files from members, re-installing, etc. in this case.

 

IMO - This would be the *safest* (and most efficient?) solution, given your situation.

 

*IF* your IT department does not use disk images of various installations... then I might suggest that the entire department be replaced, and/or suggest this become a new standard operating procedure at your company - the choice is yours. :wink: lol (I'm half-kidding of course!)

Sent you a pm renderman - for everyone else i will reinstall acad to get a clean copy of the 2 acad2011 files.

[tzframpton]

You don't need to do that. Just put in the disc, and run a Repair from the Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel.

i was busy working on my pc lol so i used a non used station and installed it there not interfering with what i did

Definitely with RenderMan on that score!

 

As an aside, to enable you to figure out what's been changed. If you can get hold of the ACAD*####.LSP files from the original DVD (or other), then you can compare these to the modified ones. I'd use some program like Notepad++ (google for it, it's free). It's got a nifty feature to compare 2 files side-by-side, highlighting the differences. That way you can more easily figure out what should be placed in your ACAD.LSP / ACADDOC.LSP files.

 

Over here we have a enterprise CUI file and its accompanying MNL file. It's a lot similar to what happens in my Caddons menu. See: http://caddons.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/caddons/UI/
