Note: Starting with AutoCAD 2026 and AutoCAD 2026-based products, when
PROJECTAWARE is set to 1, this system variable is read-only and set to 2. For more information, see
About Connected Support Files on setting up support files for Autodesk Docs projects.
The executable file types affected by SECURELOAD include the following:
- ARX, DBX, CRX, HDI files
- LSP, FAS, VLX, MNL files
- SCR files from network paths
- .NET assemblies
- VBA macros (DVB files)
-
acad.rx
- JavaScript
- DLL files
Important:
- The LEGACYCODESEARCH system variable controls whether searching for executable files includes the folder from which the program is started.
- The ACADLSPASDOC system variable determines whether the
acad.lsp or
acadlt.lsp file is loaded into every drawing or just the first drawing opened in a session. AutoLISP files must be located in the Support File Search Path to be found, or else a relative path must be included in the Filename parameter when using the LOAD function.
- The SECUREREMOTEACCESS system variable controls whether files are restricted from being accessed from internet locations or from remote servers.
