LT Toolkit from the now-defunct drcauto was an add-on for AutoCAD LT that provided LISP and other capabilities that Autodesk disabled. Autodesk hated this, of course, but the late Gary D’Arcy made sure everything was done legally so it couldn’t be stopped even by Autodesk’s hyperactive legal team. If you are a user of [...]  15 January 2010, 12:20 pm |  2 comments | Tags: AutoCAD LT, drcauto, Evan Yares, LISP, LT Toolkit, Other Blogs | Category: AutoCAD, Customer Service, Development, LISP, Other Blogs, Tip Here in Australia it is well into the 21st and I raised my own glass last night, but for John McCarthy and most of my readers, it is the 20th of October right now. So this is the appropriate time to say Happy Birthday to LISP. Here’s to another 50 years of simple, compact, [...] 20 October 2008, 11:59 pm |  Leave a comment | Tags: AutoCAD, AutoLISP, CAD History | Category: AutoCAD, Development, LISP As I’m typing this, the Autodesk discussion groups are down for maintenance again. Let’s hope that when they come back up, some of the problems are fixed. In the meantime, if you’re an AutoCAD user and have something to ask or say, where can you go? Here are a few suggestions. I like the [...] 25 September 2008, 10:28 am | 3 comments | Tags: AUGI Forums, Autodesk, Cadalyst, Customer Service, Dear Autodesk, Newsgroups, Take 5, The Swamp, User Reaction, Web Stuff | Category: Autodesk, Bug, Customer Service, Development, LISP, Tip, Web Stuff Warning, CAD nerd stuff ahead. This is a long and technical post and if you’re using AutoCAD in a largely out-of-the-box state you probably won’t care about any of it. If your modification of AutoCAD extends beyond the trivial, you may find it useful to know what AutoCAD loads, and in what order things [...] I noticed in Ralph Grabowski’s latest upFront.eZine that Autodesk has announced that 100 developers have 200 add-ons working with its 2009 series of software. I hope I’m not supposed to be impressed by those numbers. I remember when Autodesk boasted about having over 3500 third-party developers. What happened to the other 3400-odd? This is [...] 29 April 2008, 4:11 pm | 4 comments | Tags: AutoCAD, AutoCAD 2009, CUI, Third-Party Developers | Category: AutoCAD 2009, Development, Other Blogs Yes, that includes hacking about (or producing beautifully elegant code) in LISP. If so, you may wish to go here and fill in the appropriate API survey, which is probably the AutoCAD one. This year, Autodesk is opening up this survey, which used to be confined to Autodesk Developer Network members. I approve.

If you had a real live Autodesk development person standing in front of you right now (an AutoCAD Product Manager, for example) and were allowed to ask one question, what would it be?
Please add a comment here with your question. I would ask that you keep your question civil and reasonably concise (one [...]
