Question
When i run a lisp that calls a symbol it says it cannot find the file path. I can however insert the symbol manually. we just moved over to windows server 2003 and wonder if we are missing some settings? we have administrative rights on all the drives. any idea?
it will be one of two things:
1. the path is hard-coded into the lisp routine and is now incorrect, or
2. your options support file search path needs to be updated.
if the lisp routine supplies no path to the file, then the autocad search path is used to locate the file.

I`ve been using AutoCAD since 1987 and programming AutoLISP nearly as long. I can answer questions about programming AutoCAD (except ARX) and production enhancement techniques. I cannot answer questions about AutoCAD crashes or DWG corruption. AutoCAD PROGRAMMING (menus, lisp) related questions only!
