Open File & Auto Run Lisp

[JoeyG_77]

Hey guys,

 

I wanted to know if there is a way to run a lisp automatically once you open a drawing.  I want to be able to click the open file command and with the open dialog box find the file and open it, but when the drawing is loaded it would run a specific lisp function without typing anything.

 

Thanks for help

Consider creating custom acaddoc.lsp for this tasks only placed in SFSP... Programming should be made inside acaddoc.lsp... Also when finished with jobs with your DWGs, plase replace acaddoc.lsp with original (I suppose you have this file already - perhaps for autoloading other lisps from your custom support folder)...

Thanks for the reply Marko ... I get what you're saying, but im not a programmer to even attempt that inside the acaddoc.lsp

BigAl .. Thanks for the reply and that link sent me in the right direction.  I added the lisp into the Acaddoc.lsp & at the end of the lisp I added (c:LISPNAME) before the (princ).  Then made sure the ACADLSPASDOC was set to 0.

Thanks Again

Not a problem.
