Configuration
This section describes optional setup and configuration of YY.
Manual loading
YY can always be loaded manually using:
APPLOAD
Select the YY file (.des or .vlx) to load it into the current session.
Automatic loading
YY can be configured to load automatically when CAD starts.
This can be done using:
- Startup Suite (APPLOAD)
- As alternative:
- BricsCAD supports on_doc_load.lsp.
- AutoCAD uses acaddoc.lsp for similar behavior.
Automatic loading is optional but recommended for daily use.
File location
Store YY in a fixed location on your system.
Example:
C:\CAD\YY\
Future versions may include additional files.
Keeping all YY files in one directory is recommended.
Trusted paths (AutoCAD)
AutoCAD may block execution of files outside trusted locations.
If needed:
- Add the YY folder to Trusted Paths
- Or place YY in an already trusted folder
Updates
To update YY:
- Replace the existing file with a newer version
- Restart CAD or reload using
APPLOAD
Optional interface integration
YY can be integrated into the user interface:
- toolbar
- ribbon
- command aliases
This is optional and not required for normal use.
Troubleshooting
Command not found
- Ensure YY is loaded
- Run
APPLOADagain if needed
File not loading
- Check file location
- Check trusted paths (AutoCAD)
