autoloading BRX at startup

Phillip Rutledge

Hi there,

I'm using Bricscad V11. I want to have DOSLib commands available each time I start Bricscad. I put it in the appload list and have "save updates" box checked.

Bricscad remembers it in the list but does not load it. Am I not understanding something here?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi, Phillip.

the APPLOAD dialog only lists a kind of "history" - those files are not loaded at startup.

2 possible solutions :

1. use a standard Lisp file (on_start.lsp, on_doc_load.lsp) and add (arxload "doslib11.brx") there;
    you can also place that Lisp statement into a MenuLisp (*.mnl) file

2. you can also use "autoload.rx" file, and add the filename there (doslib11.brx)
    that file is also processed at Bricscad start

I hope this helps ?
Many greetings, Torsten
