Practical Autolisp Programming - Beginner To Advanced

This course is your ultimate guide to learning AutoLISP Programming. You will learn by example with lots of programs.

What you'll learn

You will understand and learn AutoLISP and how it is being used in AutoCAD

You will have a deeper understanding of AutoCAD objects and how they can be manipulated by AutoLISP without even touching them.

You will learn how to create your own AutoCAD Shortcut Commands and Macros

You will be able to create simple to medium complexity Programs from scratch with the help of several exercises to reinforce what you learn

By the end of this course, you should be able to develop your own programs to increase your productivity. For example: start automating repetitive tasks develop programs that extracts drawing information and many more…

And most importantly, you will become an AutoLISP programmer

Requirements

Knowledge of AutoCAD

Knowledge of AutoCAD is essential to learning this course. A more advanced is beneficial as you need to have a good understanding of AutoCAD Command and Objects.
