If you want to manually control CADPower,<\/a> you must first un-install it so that the automatic loader routine does not run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, you can download and install the ZIP builds of the software from these URL:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CADPower (English) for BricsCAD-ZIP version: https:\/\/www.thedesignsense.com\/cadpower\/CADPower24_BricsCAD_EN.zip<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then you set the path manually to the CADPower installed folder from within your BricsCAD (from Settings -> Program Options -> Files -> Support file search path).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the path is set to the GeoTools (or CADPower) or both folders, it finds on_doc_load.lsp and starts GeoTools\/CADPower on starting BricsCAD. If the path is removed, it will not run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is one method to control the loading manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t want to fiddle around with the path each time to load (or not load) GeoTools and CADPower, there is another way.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

You must rename the on_doc_load.lsp (one each for GeoTools and CADPower) on your installation folders to a temp name, like on_doc_load.lso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will prevent the startup Lisp from running, since it cannot find it. You can then use the (load \u201cCP_LOAD\u201d) statement to manually load the loader stub. After this, you must run the CP_LOAD command to manually load CADPower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, you can then use the (load \u201cGT_LOAD\u201d) statement to manually load the loader stub. After this, you must run the GT_LOAD command to manually load GeoTools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember that the GeoTools and CADPower menus can still be loaded, without the software loaded. If you have the menu loaded, you can access the load commands from CADPower -> More Options -> Load CADPower and GeoTools -> More Options -> Load GeoTools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The above example shows how you do it for the BricsCAD version of GeoTools and CADPower. The procedure is similar for the AutoCAD version also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The links for the ZIP builds for AutoCAD are shown below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GeoTools (English) for AutoCAD-ZIP version: https:\/\/www.thedesignsense.com\/geotools\/GeoTools23_EN.zip<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CADPower (English) for AutoCAD-ZIP version: https:\/\/www.thedesignsense.com\/cadpower\/CADPower23_EN.zip<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of on_doc_load.lsp, you must rename the acad.lsp file to acad.lso in the case of AutoCAD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
