    Default Issue on Loading "acaddoc.lsp"

    I upgraded to mechanical 2013.
    I know that Autodesk has an "acaddoc.lsp" in the directory.
    Since the company announced its new rules, no one can modifiy the acaddoc.lsp that autodesk supplied.
    I then create my "acaddoc.lsp" and place it to another folder which is in a search path.
    But I found that all my routines can't be loaded automatically.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks for your help.

    The 1st acaddoc.lsp found in the list of search paths is the one which will load. So ensure that the folder where your own acaddoc.lsp is saved is higher up in the support folder list.

    Is this "factory installed" acaddoc.lsp a thing only for Mech? I can't find such in 2013 Vanilla / ACA. Only the usual acad2013.lsp types of files.

    Is the acaddoc.lsp not perhaps something your company installed themselves? If so remember that by making your own and placing its folder higher up on the SFSP list this will stop the other one from being loaded. Otherwise this might help: http://forums.augi.com/showthread.ph...l=1#post936651

    I moved the search path to the top and it works.
    Thank you, irneb.

    My acaddoc.lsp is shipped by AutoCAD Mech 2013.
    It usually resides in
    C:\Program Files\Autodesk\ACADM 20XX\Acadm
    I used to modify it on the previous version of AutoCAD Mech without any problems until the company rules changed.

    Just remember that the "standard" acaddoc.lsp which you've got there will now not load anymore. This might cause some stuff to fail as they might be needed by mech. You've got 2 options for this:
    1. Copy the contents of the "standard" acaddoc.lsp into your custom one. So those things also gets loaded to RAM - at least you're not modifying the original.
    2. Use something like the "search" function I pointed to in my previous post - to load the acaddoc.lsp file found in a later support folder.

    It's extremely strange that mech uses this file. It breaks from what ADesk says about it - it's supposed to be a special user-only file.

    Yes, I have done this.

    Perhaps Autodesk thinks it's the special user.

    Thanks indeed, irneb.

    Glad to help.

    Yeah ... I think they're "special" too ... and they just might be "users" (but in the sense where a cop might arrest them). Only explnation I can think of for their strange behaviour.

    Strange behaviour...
    It also means the unusable offline Help files for v2013.
