Lisp

[James T.]

I have created several lisp routines I would like for A-Cad to load them
into memory when it starts but not execute them. If I put them in the
appload startup folder it executes several of these. I used to have them in
a pull down and they could be executed from there but after a re-install
they will not work.

[R.K. McSwain]

All lisp files are executed when they are loaded.
Is your code in a function? If so, is the function being called at the end of the lisp?

The Function might be called at the end but here is the thing I have this
pull down with all my lisp routines in it and what I want to do is be able
to load the pulldown menu and execute the lisp from that. Now if I load the
lisp through the appload command they work but if I try using the pulldown
it says

Command: ar1
Unknown command "AR1". Press F1 for help.

Now what I want to do is put my lisp into the library of executable
commands. I have copied all my lisp into scadmxl: sup and lsp and they
still do not load or execute

No need to put your files into \sup or \lsp

Create a submenu (lets say it's called "james.mnu") that includes your pull-down menu
Create a "menu lisp" file, name it the same as the menu except with the MNL extension (like "james.mnl")
In the MNL file, load all your lisp code using statements like this:
(load "mylisp1")
(load "mylisp2")
(load "mylisp3")
etc., etc.
if they are separate files -or- you could just put all your lisp code in the MNL file.

The MNL file will automatically load when the MNU (or MNS) file is loaded. So when you load your submenu using the MENULOAD command, your lisp code will load also.

If it still doesn't work, then there are some other problems.

Thanks for your help it is right on.
Found my old library lisp routine and all is well again.

Thanks
