Auto running a command.

[bobr.71433]

Hi,

Is it possible to have a command run automatically when a drawing is loaded. I have a lisp routine that would run when the drawing is loaded without having to run it manually.

I imagine it can but I can't seem to find anywhere how to do it.

Thanks
Bob

This is pretty simple to do.

In the same lsp file as your routine, at the very end add the name of the routine in parentheses.

(NameOfRoutine)

...and if you haven't already done it, you need to tell AutoCAD to load the file when it loads a drawing by putting the following line in your acaddoc.lsp file (you will likely need to create the file, and put it into a directory in your support file search path):

(load "mylispfile")
