AutoLISP Program For Free

AutoLISP Program For Free


Yeah. You have read it right. You can get an AutoLISP program. Tell me what program you want and I write it for you. For free.


You Know About AutoLISP Programs


You know about AutoLISP programs. They help you to speed up AutoCAD. Or a CAD program that is an alternative for AutoCAD.


I'm not talking about free CAD programs. I'm talking about CAD programs that you must pay for. IntelliCAD is such a program.


You think that is very good. And you know you can engage me to write an AutoLISP program for you. But you are not sure.


Engaging Me


You are thinking. When you engage me to write an AutoLISP program, you must pay me. You are wondering. How much must you pay me?


Well. This is how it is. You engage me for writing an AutoLISP program and you don't have to pay me. I will write it for free.


Catch


Is there a catch? Oh yes. There is a catch. But don't feel that you are forced to pay me. It is all up to you.


I works like this. You tell me what AutoLISP program you want and I write the program for you. You will get the program.


Work with the program. See how it is. Do you feel your CAD program is quicker? Do you feel you are saving money with the program?


Up To You


If you feel that your CAD program is quicker and that you are saving money, then make a calculation. What is the value?


You can pay me the value off the AutoLISP program. But it is up to you. Only pay me if you want to pay me. Pay me what you feel is right.

ACAD.LSP

ACAD.LSP


ACAD.LSP is a special file of AutoCAD. It is automatically loaded as you start a new drawing. And what is in it, is performed.


Loading AutoLISP Files


Suppose you have a program, that you are using all the time. You can specify in the ACAD.LSP file that that program is loaded.


Add this line to the ACAD.LSP file:


(load “-/-----/-----.lsp”)


And the program is loaded as a new drawing is started. Just enter the name of the AutoLISP program, to start it.


You can even specify the complete AutoLISP program in ACAD.LSP. If you do, the AutoLISP program is load into AutoCAD automatically.


Global Variables


Maybe you are working with global variables. That could be variables of your own or AutoCAD. You can set their value here.


Giving Information


Or maybe you want to give information to the user at the start of a new drawing. Have a line that starts with PRINC.


You could add a line like this:


(princ “\n---------------------------”)


IntelliCAD


Maybe you are not working with AutoCAD. Maybe you are working with IntelliCAD. You will not find ACAD.LSP in IntelliCAD.


But IntelliCAD has got ICAD.LSP. In IntelliCAD that file has got the same function as the ACAD.LSP file in AutoCAD.


Other AutoCAD Alternatives


There are more alternatives for AutoCAD. And those alternatives do not have the ACAD.LSP file. But you can look for a similar file.



In Windows do a search for LSP. You will see the file that is used as ACAD.LSP is used. Open the file and see for yourself.
