@timgilbert see AutoCAD 2012 with AutoLISP: An introductory guide https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1463625804/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_oqUPyb0KMJXR5 use this for an architectural practice?

Thanks @dotemacs, I'll check that out. Yeah, part of what I do at work involves parsing floor plans from AutoCAD, looking to build some tools that could help the process from within AutoCAD itself

@timgilbert cool. My wife is an architect so I figured that might be the case 🙂 But google around for some other books on AutoLISP I remember seeing a few.

timgilbert15:02:55

I've seen a few online, but it's hard to tell whether the majority of users now use like VB or what have you instead of AutoLISP

@timgilbert I just remember being pretty excited about discovering that Lisp is still part of AutoCAD, looked at some examples but didn’t dig into it any more than that. If you do end up using it please share you experience, I’d be interested

Cool, will do
