I don't have an acaddoc.lsp file. Can I put my code into acad2000doc.lsp?

I attended a cad camp yesterday, and I am trying to write my own lisp routines. I don't have an acaddoc.lsp file. Can I put my code into acad2000doc.lsp?

I, and others, would not recommend it. The ACADDOC.LSP and ACAD.LSP files are user created. You would then place these files in a directory that is listed in your Support Files Search Path. AutoCAD will automatically load the first ones found.

Use Notepad or Wordpad to create a new file called acaddoc.lsp
Save as "text document"
Or better still, from the AutoCAD command line type "vlide" then go File/New and then "Save as"

Do not use acad####doc.lsp!!

You can put your code in there, but expect it to be lost at some point. As the others have said, "acaddoc.lsp" is a user file. Create and maintain it yourself.
