AutoLISP Routines

AI-Written AutoLISP on AutoCAD LT: What Breaks

July 26, 2026

The seat most drafting offices actually pay for AutoCAD LT gained AutoLISP in the 2024 release. For a version whose entire identity for thirty years was "the one you cannot customise", that was a genuinely big change, and it went past most people without a ripple. It matters now for a reason nobody planned. Ask a chatbot for an AutoLISP routine and it will happily reach for … [Read more...] about AI-Written AutoLISP on AutoCAD LT: What Breaks

ZP LISP Routine: What Zp1.zip Actually Does in AutoCAD

September 19, 2020

It works on blocks rather than lines, it does not flatten anything to zero, and it writes a coordinate file as it goes. The description has been attached to this download for years, so if … [Read more...] about ZP LISP Routine: What Zp1.zip Actually Does in AutoCAD

Windows with Multiple Mullions Lisp Routine

September 19, 2020

Name: WIN Description: This routine draws windows with multiple mullions in plan view between any two lines at any angle, without the use of a block. It works best if the lines are parallel, but is not required. The routine will place the mullions and glass on the current layer, and it will place the wall jambs on the same layer as the walls. I have included two functions. One … [Read more...] about Windows with Multiple Mullions Lisp Routine

WBLKALL LISP: Export Every AutoCAD Block to Its Own DWG

September 19, 2020
