I would like to know how I can load my own custom autocad files to the autocad working supported files without options inside Autocad software, but programmatically.
I have these following files that I want to load to supported files of autocad programatically ,
.cuix file
.vlx file
.mnl file
.mnr file
.fas file.
I tried with inno setup.
Honestly, I don't know how to do.
Please guide me or teach me how to do.
As per my understanding, you can achieve this stuff by Autoloading those File, while the AutoCAD is started, there is plenty amount of solution available on internet you may check this link1 Link2
Or you can refer below step(Before following this step read above link)
1.Write a function to load the required file as you mention in Question
(defun Load_File()
;To load CUIX file "<..MyPath.../MYMENU.CUIX>" replace this with you CUIX file path
(command "_MENULOAD" "<..MyPath.../MYMENU.CUIX>" "")
;To load VLX file "<..MyPath.../MY.VLX>" replace this with you VLX file e path
(command "_appload" "<..MyPath.../MY.VLX>")
;Loading a MNU file overwites the corresponding .MNR, .MNS and .MNC files. Keep in mind that if you make any custom toolbars ;and/or buttons using the graphical on-screen method - they will be wiped when you load the MNU
;(I am not sure about MNL/MNR file loading you may try this )
;To load MNLfile "<..MyPath.../MY.MNL>" replace this with you MNL file e path
(command "_appload" "<..MyPath.../MY.MNL>")
;To load Fas file
(load "<your .Fas file path/my.fas>"
)
(load_File)
2.save this file with name as Load_file.Lsp on trusted path (ie "c:/trusted path/...../Load_File.lsp")
(if lisp file is save in trusted path of AutoCAD so AutoCAD not show pop-up while lisp file is load )
3.make new lisp file so it can Autoload as AutoCAD is started with name "acad.lsp" put below code inside file (this code say that load our first "Load_File.lsp" file)
(load "c:/trusted path/...../Load_File.lsp")
this lisp file must be save in install directory of autocad (Ex. "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2018") this step is for automatically load "acad.lsp"
As soon as acad.lsp is loaded all your files are load in Autocad.
InnoSetup is a very good choice for You. I use it for few years and it let me do anything I need.
If You have InnoSetup installed, just click File->New and InnoSetup Script Wizard will guide you through the process of creation script. One of the steps is Application Files, where just select Your files mnu, cuix, fas whatever You like
After that compile ( just one click ) and You have Your setup.exe
Using Innosetup You may install files, but also manipulate OS registry - which may be helpful for Your application, but also set Acad supported files paths.
here
You can find more details about how to load Your application to Acad after is installed.

I have looked all over the internet for installation instructions but could not find one that actually worked. I have downloaded the MinGW-Get application as stated in many websites, but have no idea how to use it. I did find a website with the following instructions:
HOW TO INSTALL:
Install an ide on your windows machine, I’ll use the simple Dev-Cpp.
Download this zip containing the files you’ll need.
Create a folder called pdcurses and another one called include, inside
of it.
Extract panel.h and curses.h in the include fold.
Extract the .dll file in the pdcurses one.
Now open your ide and set the 32-bit version compiler as the default
one.
Create a new project, set it up.
On the lefty Treeview, right click on the project icon -> project
options
Go to -> Parameters tab-> Linker -> insert in its box the path to the
.dll file you extracted before
Go to -> Files/folders tab
Here you’ll see three inner tabs named: Libraries/Includes/resources
folders; inside each of them you have to insert the path to the
include folder you created before.
Source: https://hastalafiesta.altervista.org/setup-pdcurses-windows-devcpp/
However, I could not find the .dll or a library file in the PDCurses folder I extracted from the .zip file I downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/pdcurses/files/pdcurses/3.4/pdc34dllw.zip/download (as stated in the fifth step). I just got started with C++ and libraries and would appreciate it if anyone could provide me some guidance or any useful links.
I have a WinForms application that uses 3 .dll Application Extensions. Two of them come from the KBCsv csv file parser extension, and the third is the MySQL Data extension.
Currently these files are automatically stored in the project's Debug folder along with the application itself. When I move the application to an external location, I have to keep these extensions in the same folder as the application or I get an error like:
Could not load file or assembly 'KBCsv, Version....' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
It would tidy up the desired folder that the application is to be located in if I could store these extensions in one folder, inside that folder. Any guidance as to how I could achieve this would be greatly appreciated.
Glad to see this site, Thanks guys for being active. :)
I have a problem in Visual Studio 2010/VB.Net
I have windows form in Visual Basic, I deployed the software(form) to one installer
Now I want to open My PDF file( i-e: Specific) with Button_Click_Event
I know that:
Process.Start("MyPDF.pdf")
But I dont know if user install my software in his PC so may be he install the software in C D or other directory, and also I dont know How to include PDF file in my project :)
Please suggest for me, I am searching this every where but failed so pl help me
Use Add->Existing Item on your Project. Then add the PDF File to your Project.
Afterwards you have to set the Properties of the newly added file to the following:
Now the file will be added to your "Output" Directory after you build your Project.
Now use your Process.Start("MyPDF.pdf") call. It will open up, as it resides in the same directory.
This is rather easy:
Simply include the file by dragging it to your project folder and in its options, tell it to copy to the build directory.
Thereafter, find the path through the my.application methods.
Build a correct path from that and launch it via process.start
I already have this code from another question on this website.
Help.ShowHelp(ParentForm,
("C:\Users\Beaudean\Desktop\Help.chm"),HelpNavigator.TableOfContents, Nothing)
That works fine except i need the location of the chm help file to point to "my.resources" where it exists because i need to install my program but in that code example it only works with strings?
Thanks you :)
You cannot make this work. The .chm help file viewer is an external program, hh.exe. It doesn't know anything about managed resources, it needs a .chm file on disk.
Setup your project so that the .chm file is available in your build directory. Project + Add Existing Item and pick your .chm file. Select the added file and set its Build property to Content (so it gets installed with the rest of your files) and its Copy to Output Directory to "Copy if Newer" (so it gets copied to your build directory).
And modify your code so it can always find that file:
Dim path = System.IO.Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, "Help.chm")
Help.ShowHelp(ParentForm, path, HelpNavigator.TableOfContents)
i have created a batch file and have added it to the project using add items. Basically what i am aiming at is to execute this file on a button click action.
I am using System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("hello.bat") command to run this file
i have changed the build action to resource for this batch file.
But when i run this program, it is not able to locate the batch file.
I am required to give a relative path as the path my vary from machine to machine. how can i make this file accessable using a relative path?
Resource puts it inside of your EXE as data. You can google how to write a vb.net resource to a file, use the io tempfilename function to get a tempfile and use that (appending .bat), then run the batchfile from the name you gave it.
If you can ship the .bat with your EXE, this is convenient for debugging and production:
* Put the batchfile in the BIN subdir (debug or release) with your exe. May have to click 'show all files' in project explorer to see these dirs. Right click the .bat and pick 'include in project'. Don't make it a resource.
Run it using application.startuppath & "\" & batfilename. (application.startuppath is only in winforms. You can google 'how to get exe path in vb.net console app' etc. if you need another way).
