![]() To make matters worse the Lisp routines are loaded in temporary memory, not in the drawing database. You must run LOADAPPLICATION and select the Lisp file you want to load three times, once for each DWG. Not only that, but it only loads the Lisp routines in DraftSight files in the specific DWG you are currently working in, and only in the current session.įor example, you have three drawings open, and you want your Lisp routines available for use in all three of them. The problem with the LOADAPPLICATION command is you have to use it each time you want to load a Lisp file. Manage > Applications > Load Application… The command can also be picked from menus as follows: Drafting and Annotation Workspace: LSP, are loaded into DraftSight using the LOADAPPLICATION command at the keyboard. These routines, saved in simple text files with the extension. In a previous blog How to Automate DraftSight Commands with AutoLISP, I introduced readers to a few basic command shortcuts using Lisp routines. A web search for ‘Free AutoLISP’ will show the tip of the iceberg for what’s already available out there. We DraftSight users can therefore make our lives easier by creating our own new Lisp routines, or by making use of the treasure trove of Lisp routines others have made available online. Users have created, and continue to create, thousands of Lisp routines to streamline their workflows with shortcuts and custom utilities. Multiple CAD applications have incorporated these engines over the years. Visual LISP is an upgrade to the AutoLISP engine dating back to the late 1990’s. ![]() The DraftSight Application Programming Interface (API) includes support for two dialects of the Lisp programming language. AutoLISP is the original, dating back to the mid 1980’s.
