Lisp aren't loading automatically although they in "Support Folder"

[Zac Davis]

Hi

i don't find the reason why , but lisp isn't loading automatically in each new session although they are in support folder, actually i mean the "Startup Suite"

so now for each new file i APPLOAD and choose all of the lisp im using , and its working ..

[sanjeeve]

did you check your workspace settings

automatically change the work space setting selected

what do you mean ?

If the name of your lisp file isn't acaddoc.lsp so logically it won't be loaded unless you add them to the briefcase in the appload command , otherwise just add a lisp file acaddoc.lsp and add your lisp program within and they would be loaded with every session for sure.

The Startup Suite is historically known to be unreliable; I would instead suggest loading your customisations using appropriate load expressions within the acaddoc.lsp - see my tutorial for more information.

thats the thing , i loaded them to the briefcase , thats how it used to be always and it worked like a charm, and now something is disturbing this ..

So try the other option with the acaddoc.lsp and the tutorial link that is provided from Lee is very informative .

Try under

 

 

OPTION

SYSTEM

SECURITY OPTION

AUTOMATIC LOADING

My first post like EBROWN would have been when was trusted paths introduced I think it was around 2013. You may not be seeing the error message about lisp not loading.

which year auto cad you are using?

after2012 you have to add them to the trust location in support file and make your save change to the work space selected

[Zac Davis]

Using Autocad 2014

from 45 lisps around half is loaded when their in the "Startup Suite" , what disturb the others to load?

Like BIGAL my guess would be that they were not located in Trusted Folders. Were the lisp files in a different folder that the ones that loaded? You can add Trusted Folders on the Files tab in Options. If you don't want to have to include the full path when loading each lisp file add the folder to Support files in Options as well.

 

Using acaddoc.lsp as Lee Mac and others have suggested should at least give you an error message on the command history if not fix your problem. Startup Suite has always had problems like this, cant count the number of threads I've see involving "Startup Suite" over the years.

 

Try loading them at the command line like:

(load "MyLispFile.lsp")

to see if there may be problems with the files.

I'm not sure how the Startup Suite handles loading errors: it may be that the Startup Suite ceases to load subsequently program files if an error is encountered during loading.
