Title: Autolisp for Free and Open Source Software
Post by: jtm2020hyo on March 05, 2021, 11:52:09 AM
I found that LibreCAD, Blender, and FreeCAD are already very mature and specially FreeCAD has an impressive workflow, I am curious if I could use, in the future, my AutoLISP library in mentioned software.

any expert could tell us if possible create a Python Library for AutoLisp?

Simple answer you test it, most software has a 30 day trial.

Is hard to choose because FreeCAD is like all-in-one software, also have FEM analysis.

literally is like a Revit + complements for Free.

their unique defect is that have not good 2D tools, for this motive, I think creating an AUtolisp Python library could change the game in Design software.

... and now that AutoCAD is unofficially deprecated, I think I could migrate to FOSS if they add support for AutoLisp.

... already exist an alternative to AutoCAD VBA and is GauchoCAD.


here a FreeCAD sample:

Here you see "how to make Library files for autoLisp?. You search inside folder "/s *\Libc\*.*"

is an .exe file, could share any documentation or samples to test? .exe files scary me a bit.

Stay away from exe unless you know who it is. D2010 posts weird answers that dont make sense.

In this case the question does not make much sense either. What use would Autolisp be in the context of FreeCAD? How can it possibly improve the 2D capabilities of that program?

edit:  i deleted my post for error

________

mmm... no sure how

but I think an Autolisp python library could work like pyautocad with a node editor, I mean use AutoCAD + Dynamo, call our autolisp python library, do the design, then use Dynamo again to copy this in FreeCAD, already exists Dynamo nodes for FreeCAD


_____

... another point in favor of the Autolisp python library is that should be possible to use it with any node editor / visual programming software.

some node editors:

Dynamo
PyFlow (FreeCAD node editor)
Grasshoper
Sverchok (Blender node editor)

Sorry for replying a bit late, but I just saw your post. It's great to hear that you've found some great free and open-source CAD software options. As for using your AutoLISP library in those programs, I'm not sure about that, but I do know that Python is a powerful programming language that is often used for automation and scripting. By the way, if you're interested in exploring some other testing tools, you should probably consider ZAPTEST's software test automation tool (https://www.zaptest.com/what-is-functional-testing-types-examples-checklist-implementation) as a great alternative for test automation. It's a reliable and easy-to-use tool that can help streamline your testing process and save you a lot of time in the long run. Perhaps it could be a good option for you to consider!

I dot not share any documentation, because I need, develop a new documentation
.chm, after practicallyProject/s on the fly. If you need more the, then

 I do not  change the subject;
Refactoring the code-sources ascii with ChatGPT is job kiliier too much.

Why?
Too many people/s depend, today and the future,  too much on the jobs with sources code (C#, Lisp,C++, Kotlin, Java). :rolleyes2:
