AcadJobs/3d_dwgs. If that directory is set up as the current directory, you could
copy the acad.rx file into that directory and modify it in the following manner:
myapp1
otherapp
If you place this new acad.rx file in the AcadJobs/3d_dwgs directory and you
start AutoCAD with that as the current directory, these new ObjectARX
programs are then loaded and are available from the AutoCAD command
prompt. Because the original acad.rx file is still in the directory with the
AutoCAD program files, the default acad.rx file will be loaded if you start
AutoCAD from another directory that does not contain an acad.rx file.
You can load ObjectARX programs from an MNL file using the arxload
function. This ensures that an ObjectARX program, required for proper
operation of a menu, will be loaded when the menu file is loaded.
You can also autoload many ObjectARX-defined AutoCAD commands. See
Overview of AutoLISP Automatic Loading on page 440 and autoarxload in the
AutoLISP Reference in the Help system. To display Developer Help, on the
InfoCenter toolbar, to the right of the Help button, click the drop-down arrow.
From the menu, click Additional Resources Developer Help.
