ACAD.LSP for Elecdes

This section applies to AutoCAD users only.


The ACAD.LSP file is loaded EVERY time AutoCAD is started OR a drawing is OPENED for edit.

The main component of this file is the STARTUP routine. The STARTUP routine is executed each time AutoCAD loads ACAD.LSP. This routine controls the loading and initialisation of Elecdes.

Functions of the STARTUP routine:

  • Determine if Elecdes should be loaded automatically when AutoCAD is loaded. Yes by default.

  • Load EBASEADS.ARX, ELECDES.ARX and WIREDIAG.ARX, the main Elecdes programs.

  • Run the Elecdes initialisation routine.

Customisation possible in this file:

  • Load your own ARX and LSP programs.

  • Make Elecdes ASK before loading.
