What is AutoLISP?
AutoLISP is AutoCAD's inbuilt programming language. It is used to create programs and routines which aim to lessen the work done by the drafter, introducing automation to the process, without sacrificing accuracy and detail. Similarly, AutoLISP can also be used by checkers - deploying automated functions of checking for AutoCAD entities such as dimensions, layers, blocks, text, etc.
AutoLISP can be loaded onto any AutoCAD platform. Whether you use the oldest AutoCAD 2000 version or the latest one, it can be used without installing any 3rd-party software. It can even be used with other CAD programs such as BricsCAD, IntelliCADand DraftSight.
"Automation is to your TIME, exactly how Compound Interest is to your money."
What can AutoLISP do?
Basically, everything you are doing manually in AutoCAD can be programmed by AutoLISP. Whether you want to open sets of drawing in one go, search for a text inside a folder of DWG files or even get the blocks inside a drawing without opening it, AutoLISP can help you with it.
Here are other application of AutoLISP:
Detect all dimensions which are overridden and highlight them.
Auto-fill attribute definitions inside a drawing.
Create your own style (layers, lineweight, colors, etc.) and deploy them easily to your colleagues.
Control and set all variables in AutoCAD.
Check the number of instances of blocks, texts, dimensions and leaders in your drawing.
Do computations in AutoCAD itself!
Time and effort in doing repetitive, boring tasks are already preventable liabilities - time and effort which can then be used for other productive tasks!
