WARNING Do not modify the reserved acad2011.lsp file. Autodesk provides the
acad2011.lsp file, which contains AutoLISP defined functions that are required by
AutoCAD. This file is loaded into memory immediately before the acad.lsp file is
loaded.

Quick Reference
Commands
APPLOAD
Loads and unloads applications and defines which applications to load at
startup.
System Variables
ACADLSPASDOC
Controls whether the acad.lsp file is loaded into every drawing or just the
first drawing opened in a session.
The ACADDOC.LSP File
The acaddoc.lsp file is intended to be associated with each document (or
drawing) initialization. This file is useful if you want to load a library of
AutoLISP routines to be available every time you start a new drawing (or open
an existing drawing).
Each time a drawing opens, AutoCAD searches the library path for an
acaddoc.lsp file. If it finds one, it loads the file into memory. The acaddoc.lsp
file is always loaded with each drawing regardless of the settings of
ACADLSPASDOC.
Most users will have a single acaddoc.lsp file for all document-based AutoLISP
routines. AutoCAD searches for an acaddoc.lsp file in the order defined by the
library path; therefore, with this feature, you can have a different acaddoc.lsp
file in each drawing directory, which would load specific AutoLISP routines
for certain types of drawings or jobs.
