For the benefit of dangermouse and anyone else out there still using R14, this is the procedure for loading a LISP routine.

1. Copy the code from the forum and paste it into a new Notepad document.

2. Save the file as name.lsp where name is the name of the function. For example, if the first line of the lisp routine looks like this:

(defun C:twister()

then the function name is "twister" and the LISP file should be called "twister.lsp"

3. From the pull-down menu, choose Tools>Applications.

4. When the Load AutoLISP, ADS and ARX Files dialogue box appears, click the File... button and find the LISP file you just created. Select the file and click the Open button. You should now see that the file has been added to the applications list.

5. Select the file from the list and click the Load button.

6. Type the function name at the command prompt to start the function.

Bear in mind that this sequence is specific to R14 and is different for other versions of AutoCAD

Can't an r14 user just type "appload" to load lsp routines?

Talking of cool lisps I got one from the dotlist or whatever site mentioned here, and it will list the 30 or so most recent files and alphabetically.

In Acad 2000 you can drag and drop the lisp file onto the drawing area - then you only have to type in the name of the lisp in the command line to get it working.

Anybody know if this works for R14?
