Standards Manager includes a tool that makes custom Lisp, VBA, and ARX programs available
to all CAD users in the company. The routine allows the user to load and run macros/programs
defined within the current Standard. This interface is an alternative to use of the AutoCAD
APPLOAD command and allows for better deployment and management of custom
applications.
To load a custom macro/program into AutoCAD:
1. Select the desired
Discipline Name
and
Group Name
. The programs associated with
that discipline and group appear within the list below the group name. The program file
name is listed in the left most column. If the program has internally defined commands
then a command(s) may be listed adjacent to the program file name. If a Hot Key has
been assigned within the Standards Administration module it will be displayed in the
right-most column.
2. To immediately execute any program within the current list highlight the program and
then click the
Execute Program
button.
3. Those macros/programs that have assigned Hot Keys can be loaded within the current
drawing session. To load program(s), highlight the desired programs, and click on the
Load Program(s)
button. The dialog box will close. Now, at the AutoCAD command line,
execute a loaded program by typing its assigned Hot Key.
