Abstract

In response to a reader's question, a beginner's guide to AutoCAD's AutoLISP is presented. AutoLISP is based on the common LISP programming language, which is widely used in artificial intelligence applications. It can be used in 3 different ways: 1. Type the AutoLISP functions at the AutoCAD command line. 2. Use a text editor to create an AutoLISP function or program. 3. Use Windows Explorer to save a program created by another user into the AutoCAD directory and load the program while in AutoCAD.
