How to load a lisp from Macro

[JoeyG_77]

Hey Guys .... Im trying to load a lisp function from an Icon

Ive tried several things but it wont run from the click of the Icon

so in saying this .. I need the macro to load the lisp and then invoke the lisp function

 

Thanks for the help in advance

Ps... Ive already pointed my working & trusted folder path to this location on the server where the lisp resides

just a random buttom from my (old) toolbar (yes yes yes rlxmenu.mns)

 

ID_RLS         [_Button("RLSymbols", "rls.bmp", "ICON_16_BLANK")]^C^C(IF (NOT c:rls)(LOAD"RLS.LSP") );RLS

 

does your lisp file actually work? (meaning you are sure it has no errors)

do you use a path (backslash \ problems)

does your routine start upon loading or do you have to give a command -> like my example (load"rls");rls

Best make sure your routines are in your searchpath so no path is needed in your macro.

in macro's a space is the same as enter, so is a semicolon ;

if your macro has spaces at the end you may not notice them.

 

Maybe you already have a another working button so just copy it and modify it to prevent errors.

Think your post is more a general autocad question than a lisp question

RLX ....

The code you gave me @ the end of your reply worked perfect . I just had to punch in my syntax

<^C^C(IF (NOT c:rls)(LOAD"RLS.LSP") );RLS>

Thanks for the reply ..

Not sure if others agree but I just add the (c:rls) to the end of my code this way on 1st load it will run automatically. I have this were I dont have a c:xxx defun but just a defun (rls) with localised variables and the user really only wants to run once.
