Here are some ways to load you program automatically:

  • Add your programs (except .NET programs) to the Startup Suite in APPLOAD dialog.


  • If you have a MNU/MNS menu file, you can create a MNL file including with the same name in the same directory of the menu file. Then you can write lisp codes in the MNL file and it will be load when the menu file is loaded.


  • The files ZWCAD2012.lsp and ZWCAD2012doc.lsp will be automatically loaded when ZWCAD starts and a drawing is created or opened. So you can write you code in these two files to load you programs. The location of these two files is:

    > Windows XP:

    <…\Documents and Settings\<UserName>\Application Data\ZWSoft\ZWCAD\2012\en-US\Support>

    > Windows 7:

    <…\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\ZWSoft\ZWCAD\2012\en-US\Support>


    • Note: If needed, you can created your own ZWCAD2012.lsp and ZWCAD2012doc.lsp, then place them in any support path and make sure that path is in front of <…\ ZWSoft\ZWCAD\2012\en-US\Support > (which means it has a higher priority ).
