Title: BricsCAD Lisp
Post by: Guido Rooms on August 19, 2016, 02:13:05 AM

After some searches & reading around a bit I came to the following conclusion:
BricsCAD has no lisp. I'm writing this not only because there is no IDE, but because there is no REPL.
Sorry to say so, but without repl, no lisp.

:)
A few people who use lisp in BriscCAD will probable express a different opinion.

What happens if you type

(+ 3 4)

at the command prompt in Bricscad?

It will Read it, Evaluate it then Print it in one Loop, I think you are confusing a development environment with the built in REPL.

Bricscad definitely has lisp and from all reports it's in some ways better (and faster) than the AutoCAD version.

Cheers

Not to mention, BricsCad is actually developing LISP further, ACAD stopped this activity years ago.  (don't ask me how many years ago)

If you have a LISP written for ACAD it will most likely work in BricsCad.

BricsCad also has ACET tools that need to be loaded, they offer the download on their website.  (to ensure all ACAD LISP will run)

Guido, you must have been searching Autodesk's site to conclude BricsCad has no LISP.

Brics has lisp, all my routines work fine, there were some minor tweaks to switch over from acad, but not much more than I would have to do for version upgrades (which were every 3rd version or so). Only thing I miss is IDE for debugging to catch my stupid logic mistakes and watch variables.
