Mark your code as CAD_LISP: Menu > Language > CAD_LISP.You have a powerful editor configured, giving you the possibility to drive your efficiency to new heights. Ask yourself, hoe would it be if all functions would appear similar? Exactly, crashes and seeking needles in haystacks. Since functions are red and differing functions are in italics, you see a problem arise. However, BricsCAD has a more modern and richer LISP environment and “position” is an internal function that is lacking in AutoCAD. In a complex LISP file (many hundreds of lines), some functions are defined: “primer”, “position”, “shapes”, and “varset”. Why all the work to put thousands of functions in this language file? A real world example gives a clue: (This is the simple light weight xml file for Notepad++: NedCAD_LISP.xml – not supported.).You’ll probably prefer this file, containing all functions: CAD_LISP.xml.Now click on “ Import …” and select the xml file.Click on “ Create New …” button and give the definition a name, for example “ CAD_LISP“.Choose from the menu “ Language” and “ Define your language“.Get your CAD_LISP language package from this page.While there, “ Delimiter Selection Settings“:._:* (In LISP you use these characters in variables, just DLMB on a var, see this post: ) At “ Add your character…“, add these characters without (!) space:.Check word delimiters in “ Settings” > “ Preferences” > “ Delimiter“.

They are a bit slower then but that is in line with recent AutoCAD versions. You can even distribute these functions with your app for AutoCAD. These are native and fast functions in BricsCAD and Bricsys offers a variant in LISP written for AutoCAD. At Bricsys they try to solve that problem with “VLE functions”. Those functions have the same colour but are – as a warning – italic. So they have commands that do not work in AutoCAD. However, at Bricsys they are doing product development. LISP as used in BricsCAD is extremely compatible with AutoCAD. Ctrl-b and or Ctrl+DLMB to select a block is also very helpful. Highlighting works well in npp and parenthesis turn red when the cursor is next to it. Everyone forgets one now and then, but it should be very easy to find the ones that do not match. “Lost In Stupid Parenthesis”: Parenthesis should be very clear. On the other hand: d ifferences between functions, variables and texts must be clear enough. Because functions like (princ “information”) contribute to the readability of a program, strings have also a light background.Īn exhibition of colours does not contribute to proper readability.
