How do I load a lisp into Autocad 2002? or is it even possible
(OP)
I've looked through everything i could find on the subject of lisps, and have found some excellent articles. But the one thing I can't find is how to implement them in Autocad 2002. I have the support file search path set. What command would I use to get them to work? I know how to do it if I were using any other release, I'm pretty sure I could even write one if I had the need for one that I couldnt find here, but it would be useless for me since I can't figure out how to load them :+)
Thanks for all the great reading so far.

(load "c:\\Program Files\\AutoCAD R14\\support\\steel")
or if the support folder is in the support search path
(load "steel")
Hope this works for you,

I forgot to say that it is autocad 2002 "LT". I left off the LT part, if that has anything to do with it.
I just recently finished a 2 yr. Associates degree and the Instructor didnt even know how to load lisps. Makes me wonder about my education now :+/

AutoCad LT or Lite has never had LISP capability. If you want to use lisp you need to buy the full version of AutoCad 2002.
I believe you can customize AutoCad LT to some degree using VBASIC but that is beyond my ability.
Sorry to be a party pooper

1. Search the web for ACAD-LT utilities. There are a number of companies that sell LISP activators you run on top of ACAD-LT, and the best even have versions for ACAD-200X. You need to CALL THEM to discuss your needs, but you should find success without purchasing an upgrade to full ACAD.
2. If you can afford it, GET FULL ACAD. There are many capabilities that you won't discover you "need" until you have them in front of you. Otherwise, look for those add-on program sites.
3. As to your instructor, quite often a drafting teacher is given a copy of the CAD program they're going to teach from, and told to "learn it" before next semester. If your instructor did a fair job with "Intro to CAD" or some such, then you got what you paid for. It's a sad reality that many institutions don't have the budget to really do this job well, but at least be glad that they bought ACAD-LT instead of some less expensive alternative "CAD" program to teach from. As you've discovered, a good intro to ACAD (even -LT) is MARKETABLE.
4. Actively learn your tool, and soon you'll be ANSWERING CAD forum questions instead of asking them!
Good Luck!
