How do I get all my AutoLISP routines to load themselves?
Question: B.N. asks how he can get his AutoLISP routines from an earlier release into AutoCAD 2007 so that they're always loaded and ready to go.
Answer: An easy way is to type the AutoLISP routines in a file and save it as anything.lsp. Then choose Tools> AutoLISP> Load Application. Browse to anything.lsp and drag it to the Startup Suite, which has an icon of a suitcase. Then it will load whenever you start AutoCAD.
