Autorun Autolisp

Is there a way to set a lisp routine to load and run when a document loads
from the acaddoc.lsp file?

 

Sure. I have several. Just after the code for the routine insert another routine
calling it.

(defun c:mylisp()
.. . .
(princ))

(c:mylisp) ;run it

rs

 

Another way is to use an s::startup function. This executes automatically after everything else is loaded.

 

Option: Use a Startup Suite.

appload/startup suite/contents/add

[]s,

That doesn't address the question. OP wants the lisp to load AND run, not just load.

Startup suite is only a different way to autoload, and not the best one IMHO. OP mentions using acaddoc.lsp, which is a more portable way of achieving autoloading.

 

Oh yes. Sorry.

How to use s::startup, and whit file contain a function?

I do not have the help docs handy, but I think it is well documented. The (s::startup) function can be loaded anywhere in your startup sequence, for instance in acaddoc.lsp or an mnl file. Any code in this function will be executed after all other lisps, menus, etc. are loaded. This can be an advantage as it will always be the last thing to happen when a drawing opens.

Vanilla Acad doesn't include an (s::startup) function, but it may present in a vertical product or customized system. Therefore it is recommended that your code checks for existence of this function, and if found, append your code to the end of it, as shown in help.

 

Thanks, That got me headed in the right direction.
