arx... How do I keep it permanent?

ok I really feel like I should know this one..... but I found this ARX app the other day that is really cool.

Problem is.... I'll do an "APPLOAD"... load the .ARX and then work and then when I close Autocad and open it again I need to do the whole thing over again (type in appload etc) to use the feature.

Is there a way to make the arx load up everytime I open Autocad without having to appload etc everytime?

anyone know a lisp routine or maybe its something even simpler than that, that I just might be missing?

Thanks,
Grump

 

Put it in your Startup Suite, located under APPLOAD

the other day that is really cool.

over again (type in appload etc) to use the feature.

having to appload etc everytime?

 

Adding files to the start up suite:

1) Go to the Tools Pulldown and then to the Load Application.

2) In the Load/Unload Applications Dialog box, select the type of file
to be loaded.

3) Navigate to the file and pick it.

4) Pick the Load button.

5) Pick the Startup Suite button.

6) In the Starup Suite Dialog box, Pick Add.

7) In the Add to Startup Suite Dialog box, pick the File and then pick
the add button

You can also drag application files from the files list, or from any
application with dragging capabilities such as Windows Explorer, into the
Startup Suite area to add them to the Startup Suite. Inside of the Startup
Suite dialog box you can also add files to the Startup Suite by
right-clicking an application on the History List tab and choosing Add to
Startup Suite from the shortcut menu.

Or see acad.lsp

Or "roll our own" just kiddig

Another way is to put the name of the file into a file (eg acadvba.arx)
called acad.rx. If you have that file just open it in notepad and type the
name of the arx file and save it. AutoCAD will load any arx programs in this
file.
If the file doesn't exist just create it with notepad and save it to a
directory in your support paths. I have mine in Acad Support directory.
