Autodesk Advance Steel API
« on: February 13, 2019, 08:36:57 AM »
Hello Swampers,

Posting after a long time here, been lurking around once in a while though. Does anyone have documentation related to Lisp for Advance Steel 2018? I couldn't find anything online & the Autodesk site suggests that the customisation be done in COM/.Net. I am not a programmer & the knowledge I have in lisp is mostly from here. (I write simple routines & drafting stuff).

We are trying to explore Advance Steel as an alternative to Tekla-2018i which is so expensive. As a stock package I feel Advance Steel cannot be compared to Tekla, however I was wondering how effective it can be when customised. I can get a copy of Advance Steel by buying an AEC Package inclusive of CAD & other stuff here. If it has a lot of potential, we could probably get an experienced API engineer to do the coding.

Do let me know if anyone else has had a similar experience.

Quick google reveals that theres an SDK for Advance Steel. And yes LISP uses COM.
(apply ''((a b c)(a b c))
  '(
    (( f L ) (apply 'strcat (f L)))
    (( L ) (if L (cons (chr (car L)) (f (cdr L)))))
    (72 101 108 108 111 32 87 111 114 108 100)
  )
