HOW, WHERE TO RUN LISPS 1

[sundemon]

hi,
I was wondering what steps you have to take to implement downloaded lisp files. I see the are txt. files. Where do you put them, and how do you access or run them after they are installed?
thanks,

Hi,

Either save the .txt file with the .lsp extension to the AutoCAD support folder or copy the text and paste it into the LISP editor, which is opened using Tools >> AutoLISP >> Visual LISP Editor and then saving the file as filename.lsp (again, save it in the support folder)..

Then, when you've done that use the APPLOAD command and select the file you want. (NOTE: You can have the macro permanently loaded and useable everytime you open AutoCAD by loading the file into the StartUp Suite section)..
Then, to use the program or macro, use the command alias dictated by the word in the (DEFUN C:....) part of the code..

NOTE: You can't use these or any other external AutoLISP files if you are running the LT version of AutoCAD..

Anyway, I hope this helps..

Cheers,

Paul @ basepoint designz..
