Description

Writing AutoLISP code is one thing; troubleshooting it and restoring the system "back to normal" when crashes occur while troubleshooting can be a headache. Take this class and take away your headaches. Learn how to quickly get things back to normal. Learn how to use lists to your advantage-I mean, LISP does stand for List Processing! Learn how to create your own error routine to set things back the way they were before your fancy new program crashed and burned. Crashing and burning is part of the process of getting a new timesaving routine off the ground-this class will make those crashes less painful. This session will feature AutoCAD software and is AIA approved.

  • Learn how to create a shortcut to fix stuff even before it’s broke
  • Learn how to use Lists to store system variables that the program will modify
  • Learn how to create your own custom error routines
  • Discover more of the subtle nuances of how AutoLISP works
