I want to run the script I created on start up. I am under the impression that you need to do this with the properties of the shortcut icon. this is what I typed in but doesn't work can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong. ""C:\Program Files\Autodesk\MDT 2005\UserDataCache\ /B H:\DOCUMENTATION\USERS\SCRA\STARTUP" Thanks
For one, there's no reference to the acad.exe (you'll have to figure that out)...and maybe add the extenstion of the script (don't know if that's really necessary)....and I believe you use quotes like so in the TARGET box of the properties for the shortcut: "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\MDT 2005\acad.exe" /B "H:\DOCUMENTATION\USERS\SCRA\STARTUP.scr" that you need to do this with the properties of the shortcut icon. this is what I typed in but doesn't work can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong.
ok what I put in the shortcut looks right according to what yu have said, also according to the help menu. So why doesn't it seem to do anything. What I want to have happen is have this script run every time I open a existing dwg or start a new dwg. Maybe this isn't the best way to do that. Any other suggestions would be appreicated
You stated; "What I want to have happen is have this script run every time I open a existing dwg or start a new dwg". I beleive (Not Possitive) the startup you are using (in the short cut) only runs when you start AutoCAD. If AutoCAD is already running and you are opening a file what you are attempting to run will not work. If you want this to run every time you open a file you should add it to the Startup function in the Acaddoc.lsp -- Mikel Martin INCAT www.incat.com also according to the help menu.

That makes sense, but how do ?I add it to that. I have no idea how to write a lisp function. can I just add the script to the bottom of the acaddoc.lsp page? I would think I would need to tell it to load and run it every time, that's what I don't know how to do.
rather than use the shortcut acad provides, make a new one by hand. then do the command line switches as mentioned. the acad provided shortcut is special or something. It rides the short bus to work.
