IDE Visual Lisp

[PGia]

Hello everyone I've been using AutoCAD for a few years now and a few days ago something happened to me that I can't find an explanation for.

I hope there's someone on this forum who can help me: After editing some lsp files in the Visual Lisp IDE, when I close the AutoCAD session and go back to work the next day, when I open the IDE it doesn't remember the open files or the configuration. Has this happened to anyone?

 

Thanks you in advance

I sometimes have the same issue and most of the time it happens after IT did some updating, this can reset / clear windows registry. So I think this has to do with either (windows) update or company policy , preventing some apps saving their stuff. Some companies restore a disk image at startup, also wiping your settings. Oh , and I think utils like regclean can also wipe your vlisp history.

 

I'm no IT expert though... At this time I have quite a few problems with AutoCad 2022 / 2024. My company is updating to Win11 and all kinds of AutoCad problems now , from crashing after simple text command to freezing after plot. So maybe its one of those thing you have to learn to accept, hopefully temporarily.

Where I worked all up like 1000 pc's so you can imagine the control IT had, we were lucky and they would talk to us and fix issues mainly with file access as suggested. It ws controlled under our Group access.

Where I work IT literally has policy 'you name it , we block it'. I believe app is called carbon black. Every freaking file has to be white-listed. So if there is an update (either an app or windows) , all files , executables / dll's especially , have to be white-listed again else they are blocked by default. Same goes for acces rights. They have a slogan for that too : we trust no one , without exceptions. Things only get unblocked after user complains / raises a ticket. I understand security is a lot harder then, oh lets say twenty years ago , but sometimes working can be a challenging to say the least. Navigating to a drawing or lisp file I consider the least of my problems at this moment.

Same, they block stuff that shouldn't be blocked.

 

Security is pretty easy just like 20 years ago. I set up my wife's workplace (small produce company) she did all of the bookkeeping by hand and was working too much.

 

Since I was doing it for free, after a while, she tried to hire a company to do the IT, they messed it up, so I redid everything. Even Geek Squad did better than the "professional" IT company. Then the wife watched what I had done so she started doing it. Never any issues.

 

Professional IT workers and companies, just block everything because they either don't know how to do it correct and/or just too lazy.

 

Confirmed by Microsoft and other software companies every time I or my coworkers have an issue, solution/cause improperly configured firewall, server or improperly setup software.

 

Recently kept losing AutoCAD licenses, problem, the proxy server/firewall, solution, IT turned it off.
