Reactor doesn't stick around

[kemp]

Hey everyone.

I did finally get my reactor to work! Now I have a question that likey has a simple answer:

How do I make my reactor remember to react after closing and reopening a drawing?

As it stands it works only in the current drawing session, and won't in a new session until I run the command that calls the reactor again.

Anybody know the secret? maybe vlr-pers isn't what I'm looking for?
I've tried this format:

(setq lineReactor
(vlr-pers
(vlr-object-reactor
(list en1 en2 en3)
"Detail Cut" '(vlr-modified . adjustDB)))))

and this format:

(setq lineReactor
(vlr-object-reactor
(list en1 en2 en3)
"Detail Cut" '(vlr-modified . adjustDB))))
(vlr-pers lineReactor)

Thanks for the help!

Autoload the application, and on loading perform an initializing routine for your reactor. I prefer to have XDATA attached to the objects which need to be reinstalled as owners of an object reactor.

I hate persitent reactors, and I don't trust them

You need to load the function callbacks [drawing sessions] in order to recreate your reactors.

Also take a look at my sample template, hth.
