loadedDLLFiles

Short description

🧩 @loadedDLLFiles is an AutoLISP utility for loading and unloading a predefined group of AutoCAD and Civil 3D .NET DLL assemblies.
βš™οΈ The loader builds each DLL path from the current USERPROFILE value and a predefined relative OneDrive path then calls NETLOAD for files that exist.
πŸ“‹ Successfully loaded DLL paths are stored in the global *loadedDLLFiles* list so the companion unload command can later call NETUNLOAD on the tracked assemblies.

Command:

Load command: loadedDLLFiles
Unload command: unloadedDLLFiles

Functionalities:

βœ… DLL existence checks – tests every configured assembly with findfile.
βœ… NETLOAD automation – loads available .NET plugins into AutoCAD.
βœ… Loaded path tracking – stores successful DLL paths in a global list.
βœ… NETUNLOAD workflow – attempts to unload every tracked assembly.
βœ… Missing file messages – reports configured DLL paths that cannot be found.
βœ… USERPROFILE portability – builds paths from the current Windows user profile.

Result:

🎯 @loadedDLLFiles provides the described AutoCAD or Civil 3D workflow.

<Bold>Description</Bold><LineBreak/>	
This AutoLISP program provides two commands to <Span Foreground="Red">load</Span> and <Span Foreground="Red">unload</Span> specified DLL files into AutoCAD using <Span Foreground="DarkRed">NETLOAD</Span> and <Span Foreground="DarkRed">NETUNLOAD</Span>.<LineBreak/>

<Span Foreground="Red">Unload DLL files (using NETUNLOAD).</Span>
	<LineBreak/>

It is designed to manage custom .NET plugins stored in a user’s OneDrive path.<LineBreak/>	

<Bold>Functionalities:</Bold><LineBreak/>	
β€’ <Span Foreground="DarkRed">loadedDLLFiles</Span> command:<LineBreak/>	
  – Retrieves the user’s <Span Foreground="Red">USERPROFILE</Span> path.<LineBreak/>	
  – Defines a list of relative paths to required DLL files.<LineBreak/>	
  – Checks if each DLL exists, and if found, loads it with <Span Foreground="DarkRed">NETLOAD</Span>.<LineBreak/>	
  – Tracks loaded DLLs in the global variable <Span Foreground="DarkRed">*loadedDLLFiles*</Span>.<LineBreak/>	
  – Prints a confirmation message for each successfully loaded DLL.<LineBreak/>	
β€’ <Span Foreground="DarkRed">unloadedDLLFiles</Span> command:<LineBreak/>	
  – Iterates over all DLLs stored in <Span Foreground="DarkRed">*loadedDLLFiles*</Span>.<LineBreak/>	
  – Unloads them using <Span Foreground="DarkRed">NETUNLOAD</Span>.<LineBreak/>	
  – Clears the tracking variable after unloading all files.<LineBreak/>	
  – Prints a confirmation message for each unloaded DLL.<LineBreak/>
