    Default acaddoc prompts not showing on startup

    Another thing I just noticed with 2022...
    My acaddoc prompts are not showing on startup. Everything loads correctly.
    If I load the program again from vlide then they show... but not on startup.
    They were displaying correctly in 2021, nothing changed on my end, so does 2022 load different?

    my acaddoc has a prompt at the beginning of the autoload section. Another at the end to confirm that everything loaded.
    Same with the small lisps written directly into the acaddoc.
    And a last set in the section for setting environmental variables.

    Again, everything loads correctly. It just loads silently now.

    More info....
    I removed my acaddoc - same problem
    I did a clean and clear reinstall - same
    I changed the name of my acaddoc and placed it in S::Startup - same

    What it appears is...there is something in the latest update that is throwing a *cancel* at the end of loading a drawing.
    Whatever it is is AutoCAD and not anything added.
    My acaddoc has a zoom extents listed at the end of it, since most of the drawing open on the first tab of paperspace.
    This "refresh" is throwing an extra zoom in there and it is actually zooming in a little over my zoom at the end of the acaddoc. And then whatever it is that is triggering the *cancel* to hit my screen.

    There may be an error in a loaded lsp file or menu file.
    If you have a technical question, please find the appropriate forum and ask it there.
    You will get a quicker response from your fellow AUGI members than if you sent it to me via a PM or email.

    I dont use acaddoc etc rather have my own Autoload.lsp with all my custom functions in it. Then just Appload and add to start up suite. This has worked for years with no problems. Makes life easier when you update your cad version.

    Haven't installed 2022 yet, waiting for Civil 3D 2022.1 to be released.
    Google search for "2022" acaddoc prompts didn't return any links similar to yours.

    Only thing I can think of is that you may be using a shortcut to a previous acaddoc.lsp file.

    Both
    _ai_editcustfile acaddoc.lsp
    _start acaddoc.lsp
    will always access the correct file for the version you use them in.

    Typical macros canceling out of current command and using ; instead of spaces
    ^C^C_ai_editcustfile;acaddoc.lsp;
    ^C^C_start;acaddoc.lsp;

    Does
    (findfile "acaddoc.lsp")
    match the path of the file you're using?

    Could you have installed an addon that's added it's own version of acaddoc.lsp?

    Hopefully someone else with 2022 installed can verify this one way or the other.

    As someone who's used acaddoc.lsp since it was added as an option I'd really like to know!
