    Is it possible to create custom properties using LISP?

    Have you tried the two sticky threads, ("Learning Lisp" and "Anatomy of an AUTOLISP file")?

    There are several links in the "Learning Lisp" thread that may be helpful to you.
    If you have a technical question, please find the appropriate forum and ask it there.
    You will get a quicker response from your fellow AUGI members than if you sent it to me via a PM or email.

    Thanks Opie,
    The Irony, I suppose, is that there are so many materials to read on "LISP" that makes it hard to decide on which one to stick to and read on.

    Anyway, I've just printed out Afralisp tutorials and it looks pretty good for an absolute LISP begginers like me.
    Let's see how it goes.
    Thanks for your reply.

    I would go with the Afralisp site as well. That is where I started learning as well. Very good information.

    No problem. That is one of the reasons I am here.

    Hi Thomas:

    Your example code works great the first time the code is run, but if I execute it two times I wind up with double entries. Would there be a way to always have the custom properties arranged in a specific order...??...for example the first line be Drawing File Name and the second line be the Author and the third line be the Date and the forth line be the Drawing Title, etc. and so on.

    If the routine is run again it would overwrite the existing custom properties with the new values.

    Your assistance would be appreciated....!!!

    Regards,
    Vince
