Loading an ARX

In AutoCAD, ARX-applications can be loaded in many ways:

  • One-time loading:
    Select the Tools/Load Application menu in AutoCAD and find the matching ARX file for your AutoCAD version in C:\Program Files\BetterWMF.
    You may add the ARX to the AutoCAD Startup Suite.
  • One-time loading:
    Drag and drop the correct ARX version for your AutoCAD version C:\Program Files\BetterWMF from the Windows Explorer into your AutoCAD main window.
    For the next AutoCAD session it will have to be reloaded.
  • One-time loading:
    Use the command arx, option load.
    For the next AutoCAD session it will have to be reloaded.
  • Loading from lisp: use
    (arxload "C:\\Program Files\\BetterWMF\\Bwmf2017.arx")
  • Automatic loading at startup of AutoCAD by adding a line to the acad.rx file. To find this file start AutoCAD as usual and enter
    (findfile "acad.rx")
    If a file is found modify it, otherwise create a new one in your AutoCAD support folder and add a single line with the drive, folder and name of the ARX:
    C:\Program Files\BetterWMF\Bwmf2017.arx.
