Description
This session will provide a general understanding of how to use and work with AutoLISP in AutoCAD LT software. Users will start by learning what AutoLISP is and which file formats are associated with it. Following an introduction of AutoLISP, users will learn to load and use AutoLISP programs, and discover some best practices for managing these files. After learning how to load, use, and manage AutoLISP program files, users will learn the basics of writing and modifying AutoLISP programs.
