This free and unsupported LISP routine was written by Autodesk employee Randy Kintzley. Randy was responsible for many of the hugely popular AutoCAD Express Tools and some great core AutoCAD features . If you get a chance to attend a programming class from Randy it will be well worth it. He has some of the fastest keyboard fingers I have ever seen and can write a write a routine live on the fly from a request in the audience.
This LISP routine will open the last closed drawing when you launch AutoCAD.
Place it somewhere that AutoCAD can find and then load it on startup. You can do this using the AutoCAD command APPLOAD, or just add the following line to acaddoc.lsp (load “openlastdwg.lsp” ‘(princ))
Thank you Randy!
