  2. If you have customizations that runs at startup you might have to disable
    them to be able to use background plotting. From the ReadMe: "AutoLISP®
    scripts that run at startup should check whether the AutoCAD process is
    visible or invisible. If the process is invisible, the script should not

    publishing operations. To check whether the AutoCAD process is visible or
    invisible, you can use the Visible property of the Application object in the
    AutoCAD Object Model." It can be done like this:

    (vl-load-com)
    (if (= (vlax-get-property (vlax-get-acad-object) "Visible") :vlax-true)
    (progn
    < here comes your code >
    )
    )
