Taking A Lot Of Time
After the course I started working as an AutoCAD draftsman. I didn't like the program. Creating an AutoCAD drawing takes a lot of time.
AutoLISP
And then. I heard about AutoLISP. It is the programing language that has been developed by Autodesk, the supplier of AutoCAD.
I learned about what could be done with an AutoLISP program. It could be used to make AutoCAD very fast.
At last. I had found AutoLISP. I wanted to learn AutoLISP. I bought a book about AutoLISP and started studying it.
Questions
Once I had learned AutoLISP I came up with two questions:
1. How to defend against AutoCAD dealers that want you to keep wasting time?
2. Do You know why you should work with powerful AutoLISP programs?
The first question. That is how it is. The AutoCAD dealers make you believe that you need AutoCAD for creating technical drawings.
That creating a drawling in AutoCAD takes a lot of time. That is taken for granted. The AutoCAD dealers don't talk about it.
The second question. I'm afraid not every AutoCAD user realizes how a powerful AutoLISP program can help them with creating drawings.
AutoLISP Programmer
I was working in Germany. There I started as AutoLISP programmer. I must say I found a couple of firms that engaged me.
Later I went to Malaysia. I must say. Here in Malaysia the engineering firms keep on wasting a lot of time with AutoCAD.
Maybe I should go back to Germany and start there again as an AutoLISP programmer. But. My life in Malaysia is OK.
Self-Taught AutoLISP Programmer
That is what I can say. I was an AutoCAD draftsman and I became a completely self-taught AutoLISP programmer.
You could say I'm proof of the following statement. You don’t have to be a brain maniac to be good at programming in AutoLISP.

Warning Don't spend a lot of money on AutoCAD Light. It is only for creating 2D drawings and it doesn't support AutoLISP. There is a very similar CAD program. And that is completely free. The name of the program? DraftSight. How to get it? Do a search on Google for “download DraftSight”. And you will find where you can download the program. |

Only
Create Drawings When your CAD operators don't create the borders of your drawings, a lot of time is saved. You get your drawings much faster. I have created a program that does exactly that. An AutoCAD drawing has been created and the program draws a border around it. If you want to see how the program works, go to YouTube. You'll find the working of the program here: http://www.youtu.be/O8Zy6n9zS8Q Now the AutoLISP program gives you the choice to select the size of your border. You can select A4, A3, A2, or A1. Maybe you already know the size of the border of your drawing. Maybe all your drawings have the size A1. If so. Let me know. That is important. The program finds the proper scale of your drawing. Or do you already know what the scale always is? I can write the AutoLISP program that you want. The price? I will only charge you RM 600.-. That is less than US $ 200.-. |
