    Default ARG file not loading when called form acad shortcut

    Hey gang,

    I have an ANG file I created that works perfectly when loaded manually via the profiles tab of the Options dialog box.

    However, when I call that profile from the acad shortcut, using this text:

    "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2014\acad.exe" /p "c:\cad_local\AutoCAD 2014\MVVA 2014 Standard LOCAL r00.arg"

    The paths are missing the backslashes ONLY ON THE FIRST TWO SECTIONS. I think I may be losing my mind. Any help is appreciated.

    Ugh... resolved.

    Typo in the section of acad.lsp that was modifying some paths. Always double check when you "replace all"

    "c:\cad_local\AutoCAD 2014" folder isn't in your Search paths. Try putting it in "c:\cad_local\AutoCAD 2014\Support". Then use:
    "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2014\acad.exe" /p "MVVA 2014 Standard LOCAL r00.arg"

    There's a good bit of advice... and one that's gotten me in the past as well.

    Thanks for sharing your resolution.
