We do this most often for P&ID so that network blocks are found before installed blocks. That being said, if you can guarantee that a folder you want to use is going to be read first, you can move it to the top as long as it does not contain an acad.rx. ![]() CADWorx wants to be first because it must ensure that no other acad.rx is found before the one in the Support folder. ![]() AutoCAD loads the first file it finds in the search paths.īecause CADWorx uses the acad.rx mechanism to load, CADWorx creates a profile that has the installation directories’ support folder as the first item in the list. ![]() AutoCAD also uses search paths to load some files, like the acaddoc.lsp, acad.lsp, and acad.rx. By having a list of folders to search through, AutoCAD let’s us specify a file name (in lisp or even at the command line for certain commands) and locates the file from the search paths associated with the current profile. Since I am a big fan of knowing why things work, we’ll cover some CAD theory to start with, and the list the steps towards the end.ĪutoCAD has a behind the scenes feature called “Support File Search Paths” which is stored in the profile. To learn how this works we will discuss the support file search paths, and files that AutoCAD loads automatically. Today I’m going to walk through how CADWorx get’s loaded into AutoCAD. Pretty frequently we get asked how to load equipment in CADWorx Plant.
