I've been away for a while but programming is addictive.
Does anyone use the subject work spaces while programming in AutoLisp & if so, would you elaborate on same?
Thanks,

not sure what you are trying to do?
(setvar 'WSCURRENT "3D MODELING") would set the current workspace to "3D Modeling"

Thanks for your response.
Over the years (ACAD 10 - ACAD2015) much of my AutoLISP programming had/has centered around using 3DSOLID objects. ACAD 2004, for example, didn't offer the 3D WORKSPACES available in ACAD2015. So I'm not sure what advantages, if any, exist by using these newer WorkSpaces when programming in AutoLISP.
Thanks,

Specifically related to AutoLISP I don't think there is any correlation between workspaces and AutoLISP programming ability.
A workspace is simply a tailored viewing experience. All of the core functions are available regardless of the current workspace that is visible. By using workspaces you can clean up the quantity of ribbon panels to choose from. One nice tidbit, is several of the workspace specific commands are actually macros.
For instance the following snippet performs a extrude face macro which will execute the "solidedit" command, select face and then finally select extrude.

That helps me get stared in the right direction.
