    Default How To Check LISP Compatibility With Current AutoCAD Versions

    I am not a LISP guru or a "heavy" LISP writer. I can create simple ones or modify simple code to work.

    So, that being said, is there a way to find out if my existing LISPs (being acquiring the LISPs since much older versions) would be compatible with the current versions of AutoCAD by opening them in Visual LISP Editor or any other way?

    The other question would be, where would be a 'good' site to find LISPs that are more compatible with current AutoCAD versions (2014 & 2015)?

    Thanks.

    Hi, Omorah.

    I'm going to move your question from the Customization forum to the Lisp forum, as I think you'll get a better response there.
    (it's also a great place to see a lot of code being customized, most of it on newer releases)

    Best of luck!

    Prompts for many commands have changed through the years so if they use command calls you may have to modify the responses. I've got 20 year old lisp that still works! Familiarize yourself with the newer versions first. I've discarded a lot of code because newer features eliminated the need.

    That is an understatement in getting me "started", more than just starting. The links are all I would need and complete.
    All those links are rich in codes, being in all of them but now you have them shown here and I just bookmarked them all.
    I have gotten some codes to replace the ones I have and will be searching for me.

    Thanks for the links.
