Sindra:
Thank you, I'm doing pretty well, despite the awful downturn in the economy.  At least I still  have a roof over my head and a place to do my work.  I certainly hope that you and your friends, family, and neighbors are doing well in Islamabad, Pakistan.  

Please go to my website and look for my email icon at the bottom of the page to send me an email with the AutoLISP program attached.  Or you can follow-up to this message and put the code directly in your reply.  I will then edit the code and send or reply it back to you.  
Hope to hear from you soon.

Expertise

I can address all 2-D questions and some 3-D questions. I do programming in AutoLISP if it doesn`t involve solid modeling. I can also address menu customization issues and can help you find answers to questions I can`t answer by taking your question directly to Autodesk via their newsgroups.

Experience

I used to do electronic and mechanical design for a flat panel monitor manufacturer, and now I do architectural drafting for an architect. I did and do AutoLISP and menu customization and take pride in making my lisp routines to do the work exactly the way the client likes them done.

Publications
I had a routine published in CADENCE magazine (no longer in publication and taken over by CADALYST). Some of my routines are published on my website at http://my.sterling.net/~bdeshawn
