AutoLISP support
BricsCAD Lite fully supports LISP, and it is compatible with AutoCAD’s AutoLISP format, making it simple to reuse existing routines. Our advanced BLADE LISP environment allows you to quickly develop customizations that can slash the time it takes for repetitive drafting tasks.
Why use LISP?
LISP routines are the easiest way to automate processes and workflows for bulk layer manipulations, changing entity properties, automate drawing and XREF relationships, standardize plotting, and publishing workflows, etc.
