Short description
๐งฉ acaddoc is an AutoCAD and Civil 3D master startup loader for a large custom CAD tool library.
๐ฆ The current configuration attempts to load 426 program files consisting of 413 LSP or FAS files 9 VLX files and 4 DLL files.
๐งช The loader records successful loads skipped dependencies and failures in a detailed load report.
Command:
๐ Startup behavior: the loader runs when acaddoc.lsp is loaded by AutoCAD.
โ๏ธ Main loading methods: load for LSP FAS and VLX files plus NETLOAD for DLL files.
๐ Report file: load_report.txt in the configured Lisp_menu folder.
Description:
๐งฉ acaddoc centralizes the startup loading of hundreds of AutoCAD and Civil 3D customization tools.
๐ก๏ธ Protected loader functions wrap each load attempt so common failures can be recorded without immediately losing the complete startup report.
๐ง Diagnostic logic classifies common problems such as malformed LISP syntax missing dependencies missing files argument errors DCL problems and command context errors.
๐ The loader also blocks reentrant execution so a second copy cannot start while the first loading pass is active.
๐ซ Several known problematic folders are intentionally excluded because their reactors syntax problems or nested loads can interrupt the master loading sequence.
Helper function: (if any)โ
๐งฉ _AcldDiag converts common load error messages into practical diagnostic hints.
๐งฉ *_ACLD_FAIL* records failed files and error details.
๐งฉ _SafeLsp safely loads LSP and FAS files and records OK SKIP or FAIL status.
๐งฉ _SafeVlx safely loads VLX applications while temporarily controlling FILEDIA.
๐งฉ _SafeCmd loads .NET assemblies with the configured AutoCAD command such as NETLOAD.
๐งฉ The final summary writes total attempted successful skipped and failed counts to the report.
Functionalities:
โ
๐ฆ Loads a predefined library of 426 AutoCAD and Civil 3D tools.
โ
๐งฉ Processes LSP FAS VLX and DLL program formats.
โ
๐ก๏ธ Uses protected loading with Visual LISP error trapping.
โ
๐ Detects files already loaded by another dependency and records them as skipped.
โ
๐งช Generates diagnostic hints for common startup loading problems.
โ
๐ Creates a detailed load_report.txt file for troubleshooting.
โ
๐ซ Prevents reentrant execution of the master loader.
โ
๐ Displays a final AutoCAD summary with OK SKIP and FAIL totals.
โ
โ ๏ธ Shows the first failed tools in an alert when errors occur.
โ
๐งน Excludes known problematic folders that can crash the loading sequence.
Result:
๐ฏ The result is a centralized and traceable AutoCAD startup environment for a large custom CAD automation library.
๐ Users can load hundreds of productivity tools from one master file while retaining a clear record of which tools loaded successfully and which require maintenance.
๐งฐ This supports AutoCAD and Civil 3D production environments with extensive custom LISP VLX and .NET tool collections.
