AutoLisp Programming

AutoLisp Programming
SWE Engineering has much experience creating AutoLisp software for extending the functionality of AutoCAD. Families of parts can be created through programming AutoCAD to automate many common CAD functions. AutoCAD can be programmed in AutoLisp, C, and VBA. Micro Wizard Software has experience in all of these programming systems. This is one sample of AutoLisp programming which shows some of the code used to create whole mechanical systems with a little interaction of the CAD operator.
