I came across an add-on for ACAD 07. It says that is a LISP program however, it has a lot of slide files, .DWGs for a library, a .VLX file, and an .INI file and I do not know what file to put it in to get it to work properly. I have attempted to load it from the folder I unzipped it from and ACAD says that it is loaded, but when I type in the command it gives me this:

Error: bad argument type: stringp nil
Error Resetting Enviroment

I have attached the file if anyone is interested. Thanks in advance.

Extract the "FIRE" directory to a location like "C:\Temp\Fire", then add "C:\Temp\Fire" to your support file search path. See if it works now. If not, you may have to contact the author, since there is no way to examing the code in a VLX file.

That was it! I just needed to add it to my support path. Didn't think of that.

Hi ALL,

I strongly suggest you don't load the .VLX file as it caused all my menu files unloaded.

Fortunately I had backups handy & I reloaded my menu files immediately.
