AutoCAD/Lisp

Expert: - 7/27/2007


Question
I know nothing about lisp. I do however have some lisp routines that I use. I have managed to write small insert lisp and the reason I would like more is to be able to insert my block by hot key.  My question is where can I find lisp to do the following:

I want insert some blocks I made exploded.

Also I would like a routine that I draw thread symbols (simple solid and hidden line symbol) where I can enter thread dia,  thread pitch (both un & metric), pick point locations for length(or enter value).

Thanks for any help,
Brad

Answer
I get a lot of routines from http://www.caddepot.com  I even submitted a routine for isometric offset that they have had for years. (io.lsp)  Give them a try.  Most routines are free and some are shareware, with cheap registration.  They have a newletter that comes out once a week with their "Tool of the Week."

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
