APPLOAD — Load Application

Loads AutoLISP routines (.lsp) and chooses the ones loaded at startup.

• Command: APPLOAD · Global name: _APPLOAD · Alias: AP
• Ribbon: Manage › Applications

Loads AutoLISP routines (.lsp) and manages the ones loaded at startup and the load security. Once loaded, a routine that defines C:NAME is used by entering NAME on the command line.

Usage

1. Enter APPLOAD (or AP) or click its button. The Load Applications (APPLOAD) dialog box opens.
2. Click Load a .lsp file… and choose the file. It is loaded at once.
3. Close the dialog box. Changes to the lists and to the security are saved immediately.

The dialog box

• Startup suite (loaded at startup):: files loaded every time LinceCAD starts. Add them with Add to the startup suite… and remove them with ✖.
• Load security (SECURELOAD):: Load from any folder without asking, Ask outside the trusted folders or Load only from the trusted folders. It is equivalent to AutoCAD's SECURELOAD variable.
• Trusted folders (the first one is the user folder):: the folders from which files are loaded without asking. Add them with Add trusted folder….

Notes

• Outside the trusted folders, and with the intermediate security, the program asks for permission before loading: a .lsp file can run commands on the drawing.
• On the command line, anything that starts with ( is evaluated as AutoLISP: (load "routine.lsp") also loads.
• Only plain-text .lsp files are loaded; .fas, .vlx, .arx and .dll files are not.
