ACAD Script with other than LISP program

[chicopee]

Can ACAD Script be used with FORTRAN and BASIC?

Not sure your question-

by script to you mean ".scr" files? Those can be read by only AutoCAd.

or do you mean can Fortran or Basic routines be called by a ".scr" file? I'd say no, script files are just a series of AutoCAD commands.

Do you mean, can Fortran or Basic be used to automate Autocad? not that I've heard; but AutoCAD arx applications are developed with C++ or similar, and VBA can be used for some applications, although I believe that is getting phased out.

Your fourth paragraph is the answer that I am looking for.
I guess LISP will be the only program compatible with ACAD if the other programs are phased out.

There are other ways to program in AutoCAD besides lisp, see overview at:
