AutoLisp Best Reference Book(s) 2

[Qshake]

All -

I am looking for your recommendations on the best text to learn AutoLisp. I'm not an expert at CAD but I would like to create some routines that would automatically carry out some of the more tedious CAD tasks that I do.

TIA.

Lots of good links to on-line references here:

CarlB - Many thanks for that listing. Now for a couple of newbie questions:

If I go the route of existing programs and understanding them (which I don't mind) but can you help me understand where to store the routines and how to invoke them in Autocad?

That, along with more basic information, is what I had hoped to get with a text. But I'm open to learning from any method.

Thanks.

Glad to help.

As to storing and invoking, it's quite flexible, you can store anywhere (best to keep together lisp files in separarate folders), and can even drag-and-drop to load it.

A good description is at

Thanks again. I think this should keep me busy for a bit.
