First and foremost is the VLIDE (Visual Lisp Integrated Development Environment). You see, there are a few limitations and some things you don’t get. The power you now wield is only constrained by your imagination. With LT 2024, you’ll be able to automate repetitive tasks, create custom short commands, analyze drawing data, and fix things on the fly. ActiveX Automation is included as well, so you’ll also have access to the COM library and (nearly) the full functionality of Visual Lisp. And I’m not talking just old-fashioned raw AutoLISP either. Oh, think of the defun they will have (that’s a little Lisp humor… welcome to the club, LT users). Now, they can extend the capabilities of their program of choice without being restricted.
What a world of possibilities this opens up for the LT user. How’s that for something new? I’ll wait while you pick your chin up off the floor. Since the theme of this issue is “What’s New,” I’m excited to tell you about the inclusion of AutoLISP in the AutoCAD LT 2024 release. Back May 13th, 2023 AutoCAD LT Gets the Power of AutoLISP
