WHOHAS

[thomas.stright]

How would you have WHOHAS default to on in Plain Acad05 on stand alone machines?

Hi

Below is from an old ACAD Guild post from Stig Madsen -

<snip>
(if (and (findfile "whohas.arx")(not (member "whohas.arx" (arx))))(arxload "whohas"))

Below is from an old ACAD Guild post that I made -

Below is what I have done in my ACADDOC.LSP for arx applications, it works fine, but
it means the arx is loaded fully even if I don't use it.

;Set support search path for ARX Routines
(setq MLARXSupport "DriveLetterHere:/DirectoryPathHere/arx/")

I set the variable MLARXSupport to the directory where I keep the third party ARX routines I use. I do this so that if I have to change (move) where they are kept, I only have to alter the path in one location.

;ARX application's that get loaded at startup
(arxload (strcat MLARXSupport "whohas")) ;Returns User info, on who has a drawing open

Can I please make a comment, above you say you have added code to the ACAD2000DOC.LSP file, though you can do this I would not recommend doing so, as AutoCAD uses this file and others to run; by altering you could cause AutoCAD not to work properly.

I personally try not to alter any files that come with AutoCAD, for any customization I create new files that can be added to AutoCAD ie
ACADDOC.LSP
PARTIAL MENUS .mnu .mnl files
etc
