acad.lsp file not loading?

[eturner]

Thanks to the help I've received on this forum I've developed a number of simple lisp routines that help a great deal. My issue is that each time I open up acad, I need to go to tools>lisp>load application in order to load my lisp file.

 

I've read online that you can create / modify your acad.lsp file, place it in a place where acad searches for it (options-->files-->support file search path). I've put my acad.lsp file in there with contents:

 

load "U:\\LISP\filename.lsp"

 

but when I start up Acad, my defined commands are "unknown".

 

Any help?

 

thanks

Read this...carefully. Then do what it says and you should have no problem loading your lisp routines.

eturner: Don't thank me. Thank Lee Mac. All I did was point you in the right direction. That did not take much effort at all.

You may have only pointed me in the right direction but it is what I needed to fix my "loading" issues, thank you.
