Title: Run lsp from Visual Basic
Post by: josan on August 23, 2014, 11:05:53 AM

Good day.
Can I from Visual Basic Express 2010 create an application that will allow me to run AutoCAD and then load a *.lsp file and it runs?

thanks...

I would advocate either building dotNET helper LISP functions or rebuilding the LISP code under dotNET.

Anyway, since AutoCAD 2011, you can use the Application.Invoke() .NET function (which wraps the acedInvoke() ObjectARX function) to call a LISP function from a .NET application and get its return value. The LISP function that is called must be previously-registered using the (vl-acad-defun) function or must have a C: prefix.
