Using Visual LISP Documentation
Introduction
Using the Visual LISP Environment
In addition to the AutoLISP Reference and the AutoLISP Tutorial, several other AutoCAD publications may be required by users building applications with Visual LISP:
- AutoCAD ActiveX and VBA Reference contains information on accessing ActiveX methods, properties, and objects. If you develop AutoLISP applications that use ActiveX automation to reference AutoCAD objects, you will need to refer to this reference. It is available through the AutoCAD and Visual LISP Help menus.
- AutoCAD Customization Guide contains basic information on creating customized AutoCAD applications. For example, it includes information on creating customized menus, linetypes, and hatch patterns. The Customization Guide is available through the AutoCAD and Visual LISP Help menus.
- The DXF Reference describes drawing interchange format (DXFTM) and the DXF group codes that identify attributes of AutoCAD objects. You may need to refer to the DXF Reference when working with association lists describing entity data. The DXF Reference is available through the AutoCAD and Visual LISP Help menus.
- The ObjectARX Reference contains
information on using ObjectARX®
to develop customized AutoCAD applications. AutoCAD reactor functionality
is implemented through ObjectARX. If you develop AutoLISP applications
that implement reactor functions, you may want to refer to this
manual.
The ObjectARX Reference is not included when you install AutoCAD. To obtain the manual, download the ObjectARX SDK (Software Development Kit) from the www.autodesk.com.
