AutoLISP routines help to save time and increase productivity by automating repetitive and complex tasks.
iCAD has been developing productivity tools since 1992.

AutoLISP is a dialect of Lisp programming language built specifically for use with the full version of AutoCAD and its derivatives, which include AutoCAD Map 3D, AutoCAD Architecture and AutoCAD Mechanical.

AutoLISP was developed from the LISP programming language, which has been around for a long time. AutoLISP, while it retains the syntax of LISP, is streamlined to run inside AutoCAD and has many added functions so it can interact with both the AutoCAD commands and the drawing database.

AutoLISP can be used to customize AutoCAD in two principal ways. First, AutoLISP can automate repetitive procedures. This saves the user time and can eliminate many errors. Second, AutoLISP can enhance AutoCAD, giving it new commands and features, all the way from doing calculations to creating complete drawings and more.
