Loading bonus tools
Brent Clemens
use bonus tools. I reloaded Bonus and Batch plotting
from the R14 CD and still nothing. I loaded the bonus
menus. I get this error when I try to use revcloud
Unknown command "REVCLOUD". Press F1 for help.
What am I doing wrong?

click the menu group tab
click browse
find tme bouns mns
path c:\program files\autocad r14\bounus\cad tools
select the file
then select load
That should do it for you
Good luck

I loaded that and the icons display just fine but when I click
on any of the bonus buttons I get the error that it is an unknown
command. I checked and I have the AutoLISP files in
R14\bonus\cadtools.

Unfortunately it either has forgot where it is or you are not telling it
where it is.
Solution #1: (do this first)
Is the \cadtools path specified in the support files in prefernces if
not add and test.
Solution #2:
If #1 doesn't do the trick use APPLOAD to manually load the revcloud
command. I do not know the name of the file to load however as I
recently lost a decent load of R14 from my machine.

I had the same problem after upgrading to R14.01. Open your acadr14.lsp
file from the AutoCad R14/support directory in Notepad and see if you
have a line similar to (load "inet.lsp") near the bottom of the file. It
seems this command doesn't work and stops anything after it from
loading. If you have a line with the command (load "ac_bonus.lsp" )
after (load "inet.lsp"), here's a tip that may work for you.
Use a semicolon to comment out the offending line ;(load "inet.lsp").
Save the file and try starting AutoCAD. You may need to manually load
the ac_bonus menu the first time you run AutoCad.
Good Luck,

Does this also apply to R14? :-)

sorry, i meant acadr14.lsp of course. just a typo.

upfront ezine #121 http://users.uniserve.com/~ralphg/

I don't believe that #121 is posted yet at Ralph's website but in
short, the article did not say that there would be no R15. Quite the
contrary, Mr Carl Bass is quoted in the article...."That would have
been a good idea for Release 13, but a name change makes no sense at
this point; it would only jarr customers. During a Q&A session, Mr
Bass used the term "Release 15" according to attendees."

No...I tried that...It is as posted above. You need to add the path to
the bonus tools in the preference dialog box. See Files->support file
search path and add the path to the bonus tools (R14\bonus\cadtools)
I pulled my hair out (and at nearly 41, not a good thing :^) on this
because I had it and then reinstalled Symbols97 and lost it.
HTH,
