BricsCad and fasfiles
« on: August 17, 2016, 01:11:15 PM »
Hello to all.

Does anyone know if it's possible to load a fasfile that was was compiled with AutoCAD into BricsCAD?
And a second question: I frequently write lispfunctions using the .net api and I wonder if that's also possible in BricsCAD...

Thanks in advance.
Greetings

It doesn't look like it. I don't see any way to load a .FAS file in BricsCAD, and this forum thread supports that (although it is pretty old...)

Bricscad does not read Autocad .fas files.  Bricscad does support .net, but the .net file needs to be compiled using Bricscad libraries.  There is more information in the Developer Documentation on the Bricscad site.

BricsCad also provides a free compiler to create compiled *.lsp files.  Not to be confused with acad.lsp files.  The compiled lsp files run in Classic Bricscad while the *.net files require Pro or Platinum to run.

The compiler is not included in BricsCad but may be downloaded here, https://www.bricsys.com/en_INTL/bricscad/developers/.

Unlike ACAD the LISP compiler runs independent of BricsCad, and can be run from the command prompt, making it easily run from bat files.
