The two arguments for the arxload function are filename and onfailure. As with

the load function, the filename argument is required and must be the complete

path name description of the ObjectARX program file to load. The onfailure

argument is optional and typically not used when you load ObjectARX

programs from the command prompt. The following example loads the

ObjectARX application myapp.arx.

(arxload "myapp")

As with AutoLISP files, AutoCAD searches the library path for the specified

file. If you need to load a file that is not in the library path, you must provide

the full path name description of the file.

NOTE

When specifying a directory path, you must use a slash (/) or two backslashes

(\\) as the separator, because a single backslash has a special meaning in

AutoLISP.

Attempting to load an application that has previously been loaded results in

an error. Before using arxload you should use the arx function to check the

currently loaded applications.

To unload an application with AutoLISP, use the arxunload function. The

following example unloads the myapp application.

(arxunload "myapp")

Using the arxunload function not only removes the application from memory

but also removes the command definitions associated with that application.
