utoCAD Lisp/ADS tools

---

• Lisp/ADS tools, some useful free and shareware tools for AutoLISP programmers.
  • ObjectDCL
    The next generation. See the AcadWiki entry of ObjectDCL with screenshots.
    Download the evaluation version.
  • Corman Lisp ARX v0.2.013 for Corman LISP. Note: [new dir]
    Some info.
    Version 1.4 is released. There's no current update for the acad library yet. I might also add some basic IDispatch interface when I'll have some spare time, to allow access from VB or VLISP.
    Note: Corman Lisp 1.3 reflects CLARX version 0.2.011
    The latest lisp modules and fixes are here. There's also a big patched image with all acad fixes, which you can create also by yourself.
    [new]: my mail-archive.
    For the Common Lisp Winhelp and HTML Help solutions see here.
  • VLXLoad.zip by Robert Albert. A2000 doesn't package compiled lisp to ARX, it packages to VLX instead. This is better than R14 ARX but doesn't support demand-loading anymore. VLXLoad overcomes this. Use vlxload as arxload replacement. MFC ARX with sources. Some info.
  • SageCLOS-Demo.zip - Info
    Sage CLOS by Perceptual Engineering.
    An Object Oriented Interface for AutoLISP. CLOS alike. It enables you to write OOP code in a short time and it allows you to radically simplify your problems. Includes also a object orientated DCL abstraction "(SageDCL").

    I and others are working on a huge AutoLISP library, called stdlib, which is free.

    Packager v0.78 - Info

    AutoLISP Packager by Reini Urban (now only for A2000).
    Source Code Analyzer, Function Dependency Browser, Library packager, the STDLIB Project creation tool.

    rapidlisp shareware lisp analyser for R14.

    Description in german language only, but cfg'ble as english on run-time also.

    Ideclare.exe - Info

    It automatically edits LISP source files to add in any needed declares of local variables. It recognizes global variables as starting with a unique identifying character (default is #). Free, by Rollin Laird.
    

    The AutoLISP Variable Collector by Nir Sullam at detects all to be localized variables per function. The latest version is 1.3.2.
    (local copy v1.3.2)

    WinAPI by Reini Urban. A general FFI for AutoLISP, call any DLL function from AutoLISP. Currently only for limited alpha test distribition, sorry. It works but the current high-level API is not "good enough", I don't want to disturb users with such a horrible syntax because of some ads-resbuf-limitations. People who want to test may request it per email.

    I also keep a seperate ADS/ARX page with some useful ADS/ARX functions, libraries and goodies.

    ntemacs also for AutoLISP now. (experimentally) I keep the elisp scripts and patches in this directory.

    Also have a look at Vital Lisp.
