The Autolisp Programmer's Toolbox

Rating:
Summary: Additional volume needed
Review: Although many tools are given to the reader to use; with the exception of material of 'dialogue box programing'; this is not a book for those who want to find out how things are done with autolisp. In addition, I found that there was an absence of information on R13 features such as groups and dictionary items. The book index could use a subsection which lists where topic items are buried in the 'toolbox.lsp' and 'sample.lsp' library items which are the main topics covered in the book

Summary: Good Book if you need to make AutoCAD more productive
Review: Look at the utilities that are supplied with the book. The script maker is a great utility for processing specific operations to a number of drawings such as converting drawings from release 14 back to release 13 or 12. It is similar to the batch plotting utility supplied by Autodesk in release 14 except that it can process any number of AutoCAD commands not just plotting. Autodesk has implemented some of the routines in this book in release 14 but not all. Good source for customizing AutoCAD.
