Featured LISP add-ons for AutoCAD

Videos L ISP Routines Blocks. We use LISP a lot here and find it great for automating actions in AutoCAD. Below are a few of our most used for you to download and install. SAREA: (Sum Area) This LISP allows you to select multiple closed polygons and return the sum of all of the areas. Download it here for free.

The arc size is directly related to the dimasz variable, however, it prompts for a size and defaults to dimasz.

ARCL.LSP – Arc Leader by Dan Crane II This routine draws an arc leader. The arc size is directly related to the dimasz variable, however, it prompts for a size and defaults to dimasz. Larger sizes useful for multiple pipe rack widths. Modified from SW.LSP.
BP.LSP – Batch Process by Yuqun Lian This routine can batch process drawing files in a directory. You can edit the batch process command for your needs. For example, you can use this routine to batch audit drawings or batch convert drawings from one AutoCAD version to another. You can download bp.zip for both lsp and dcl files.
AW.LSP – Arrow Leader by Yuqun Lian This routine draws an arc leader constructed with a polyline on the current layer. The standard dimension arrow is used. You can adjust its size by changing the value of DIMSCALE or DIMASZ.
DOTL.LSP – Dot Leader by Dan Crane II This routine draws a dot leader. You can adjust its size by changing the value of DIMSCALE or DIMASZ. Modified from SW.LSP.
GRAPH.LSP – Draw Graph by Yuqun Lian This routine will plot the data in graph.csv file and spline the curves. The data can have any number of rows and columns. The first row is the title, the second row is the x and y labels, and the third row is x values. Modify the following settings to your needs.
QW.LSP – Loop Leader by Yuqun Lian This routine draws a loop leader constructed with a polyline on the current layer. You can pick a middle point to adjust the shape of the loop, or change the DIMSCALE to adjust its size. It’s very handy to label the size and name of pipe lines for engineering drawings.
‍SW.LSP – Straight Arrow Leader by Yuqun Lian This routine draws a straight leader constructed with a polyline on the current layer. The standard dimension arrow is used. You can adjust its size by changing the value of DIMSCALE or DIMASZ.
TABLE.LSP – Draw Table by Yuqun Lian This routine can read a comma seperated variable (CSV) (e.g. table.csv) file and import them to AutoCAD drafting screen as a table.
‍TB.LSP – Trim around Text by Yuqun Lian This routine writes a text string to the drawing and then breaks any lines, polylines, etc. that intersect an imaginary box around the text. The text is placed on the current layer using the current style. The default input and repeat capabilities of TB.LSP make multiple labeling very convenient.

What is AutoLISP? AutoLISP is a dialect of the LISP programming language built specifically for use with the full version of AutoCAD. It is used to create programs to use in Autocad that are not built in with the software. Almost all manual commands you use can be automated to increase productivity, Lisp routines can do all sorts of weird and wonderful things. Below are my top 5 favorite LISPs programs that if introduced will save you lots of time.

5)Block count

Lee Mac’s Block count this program enables the user to record the quantities of a selection or all standard or dynamic blocks in the working drawing. The results of the block count may be displayed at the AutoCAD command-line, written to a Text or CSV file, or displayed in an AutoCAD Table, where available.

4)Batch Attribute Editor

Again from Lee Mac, this tool is great for updating title blocks, especially on larger projects this tool is priceless. Basically this program allows the user to modify the values of multiple attributes residing within multiple attributed blocks across multiple drawings.

3)Trim around

Trim around Text by Yuqun Lian This routine writes a text string to the drawing and then breaks any lines, polylines, etc. that intersect an imaginary box around the text. The text is placed on the current layer using the current style. The default input and repeat capabilities of TB.LSP make multiple labeling very convenient.

2)Double offset

Back to Lee Mac again for the double offset, if you find you start all your drawings in the center line then this one is for you. This program operates in much the same way as the standard offset command, however will perform an offset to both sides of the selected object.

Free

1)Incremental Numbering Suite

Finally my favorite Lisp is the Incremental Numbering Suite by the one and only lee Mac. The Incremental Numbering Suite enables the user to dynamically place incrementing alphabetical or numerical text in a drawing, with a range of positioning utilities and an optional prefix and/or suffix.

I hope you will find these new Lisp programs useful and productive in your everyday Autocad drafting life, please feel free to share your own in the comments.
