Synopsis

AutoLISP to Visual LISP: Design Solutions for AutoCAD 2000 adopts the designer's point-of-view to instruct readers with no prior experience in the basics of AutoLISP, Diesel and Visual LISP programming. Emphasis is on developing AutoCAD 2000 into a more powerful design application, with numerous design-based programming examples featured throughout the book, to put users on the fast-track to writing their own time-saving and productivity-enhancing programs. A "must-have" how-to and reference guide to optimizing the AutoCAD 2000 design environment, this book also covers topics such as ActiveX, object-oriented programming, reactors, the Windows™ registry, programming standards, date and time issues and more! Add this to your library today. AutoLISP to Visual LISP: Design Solutions for AutoCAD 2000 devotes an entire section to the novice programmer, explaining in detail the theory required to write a specialized computer program. Readers are first introduced to the basics of programming with AutoLISP. After gaining confidence using this relatively simple programming language, readers are then challenged to enhance their skills by using Diesel to alter the AutoCAD status line and DCL to incorporate graphics into their programs to make them user-friendly. Finally, readers are exposed to Visual LISP (presented as an extension of AutoLISP) to provide them with editing and debugging features, as well as other tools that can be used to create AutoLISP programs.
