I’m using Autodesk Design Automation v3 for AutoCAD, and I created a .bundle ZIP containing a custom batchplot.lsp. When I try to load and run it via SCR script in a WorkItem, I get the following errors:
[06/17/2025 12:35:46] Command: (load "batchplot.lsp")
[06/17/2025 12:35:46] ; error: LOAD failed: "batchplot.lsp"
[06/17/2025 12:35:46] Command: (c:batchplot)
[06/17/2025 12:35:46] ; error: no function definition: C:BATCHPLOT
Here is how I zipped the AppBundle:
ListLayers2.bundle.zip
xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ApplicationPackage
SchemaVersion="1.0"
AutodeskProduct="AutoCAD"
Name="ListLayers2"
Description="Batch plotting LISP"
AppVersion="1.0.0"
ProductCode="AutoCAD"
AppName="ListLayers2"

<ComponentEntry
AppType="AutoLISP"
ModuleName="./Contents/batchplot.lsp"
/>
</Components>
</ApplicationPackage>
❗ What I want to know
1. Why is (load "batchplot.lsp") failing even though the file exists inside the AppBundle’s Contents folder?
2. Does the /al flag guarantee that the Contents folder becomes the current directory for LISP/SCR?
3. Is the AppBundle structure or SCR logic incorrect in any way?
Thank you
You need add Support elements to your runtime requirments, so it will know where to find your AutoLISP file.
