Introduction

Programming in AutoLISP is very easy. You may disagree. You may find it very complicated. Most people find it very complicated.


Are you working with the full version of AutoCAD? Or are you working with an alternative CAD program such as IntelliCAD or ZWCAD?


Use the 3P method for programming in AutoLISP. If you do, then you'll find programming in AutoLISP very easy.


Remember. Anything that is done by hand with an CAD program, can also be done by an AutoLISP program. Except AutoLISP is much faster.


The 3P method stands for:


- Planning
- Proces
- Programming


Here is a table in which an explanation is given:

Action	Description
Planning	What do you want the AutoLISP program to do?
Proces	What steps are to be undertaken by the AutoLISP program?
Programming	Write the AutoLISP program a function for each step.

Did you already figure out? If you follow the 3P method, then programming in AutoLISP becomes very easy. It isn't complicated at all.


In fact. Everything that is done in AutoCAD. Cvamn also be done with an AutoLISP program. Except AutoLISP is much quicker.


In this e-book there is talked about the basic concepts, the functions, the database, and the system variables.


At the end of the course an AutoLISP program is written. You figure out what AutoLISP program is to be written.


When the course has been completed you are ready to start programming in AutoLISP. Of course. If you need help. You can always contact me.
