Short description
🧩 [username]_alldlls is an AutoCAD and Civil 3D startup routine that attempts to NETLOAD a predefined set of custom .NET DLL tools.
📦 The current file contains five DLL load attempts for Civil 3D profile COGO point and label related utilities.
📄 Failed DLL paths are written to load_report.txt while a command line message reports success or the number of failures.
Command:
🚀 Startup behavior: the DLL loader runs when [username]_alldlls.lsp is loaded.
⚙️ AutoCAD loading command: NETLOAD
📄 Error report: load_report.txt in the configured Lisp_menu folder.
Description:
🧩 [username]_alldlls centralizes the loading of several custom AutoCAD and Civil 3D .NET assemblies.
⚙️ Every configured assembly is passed to the native AutoCAD NETLOAD command.
🛡️ Each NETLOAD call is wrapped with Visual LISP error trapping so a failed assembly path can be collected.
📄 When one or more load attempts fail the routine overwrites load_report.txt with a FAILED TO LOAD section containing those paths.
✅ When no failure is detected the AutoCAD command line displays a successful completion message.
Helper function: (if any)
🧩 *load-errors* stores DLL paths that fail during NETLOAD.
🧩 vl-catch-all-apply protects each NETLOAD command call.
🧩 The final report block writes failed paths to load_report.txt when errors exist.
🧩 The final command line message reports either complete success or the number of failed DLL loads.
Functionalities:
✅ ⚙️ Automatically runs NETLOAD for five predefined DLL paths.
✅ 🛡️ Protects each DLL load attempt with Visual LISP error trapping.
✅ 📋 Collects the paths of assemblies that fail to load.
✅ 📄 Writes failed DLL paths to load_report.txt.
✅ 🔢 Reports the total number of failed DLL load attempts.
✅ ✅ Displays a success message when all configured tools load without a trapped error.
✅ 🧰 Centralizes several Civil 3D plugin load operations in one startup LISP file.
Result:
🎯 The result is a compact centralized .NET plugin loading workflow for AutoCAD and Civil 3D.
🧰 The routine reduces repeated manual NETLOAD operations for the configured custom tools.
📄 Basic failure reporting makes it easier to identify which configured DLL path requires attention.
