Lt Dan's legs Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 I'm pretty sure it does but I'd like to know for sure Quote
ReMark Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Why would you think otherwise? It's built atop full AutoCAD isn't it? Quote
Lt Dan's legs Posted November 30, 2010 Author Posted November 30, 2010 I know nothing about MEP. I assumed it had full autocad capabilities but I wanted to make sure. I'm talking to a company now (for employement) and that's all they use. I just wanted to make sure. Quote
ReMark Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 I'd start thinking about to to .NET and forget programming in lisp. VBA is out too. I guess the only other option is C++. Quote
Lt Dan's legs Posted November 30, 2010 Author Posted November 30, 2010 they're phasing out autolisp??? It's funny you say C++ because I recently started to studing that. Quote
Lee Mac Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 I'd start thinking about to going to .NET and forget programming in lisp. VBA is out too. I guess the only other option is C++. LISP will be around for a while yet - it is in ADesk's interest to include it, furthermore, at no expense to them. The beauty of LISP is that it can encompass a multitude of tasks, with very little code or time spent programming. Quote
ReMark Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 they're phasing out autolisp??? It's funny you say C++ because I recently started to studing that. No, AutoDesk is not phasing out lisp. I suggested looking at .NET or C++ only as alternatives. Quote
Lt Dan's legs Posted November 30, 2010 Author Posted November 30, 2010 I see. Thanks for the info Quote
irneb Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 No, AutoDesk is not phasing out lisp. I suggested looking at .NET or C++ only as alternatives.VBA is dead, it just doesn't know it yet. It's also tied to ActiveX which isn't updated at all - so there's stuff which are impossible to do with it. Lisp is still useful as it has the old raw-data methods as well as ActiveX, it also runs direct off the command line (no need for external compilers) and works (mostly) with any ACad version as is without needing re-compile. However, it depends on what you want to do. There are things you simply cannot do in lisp ... for those you'll need a programming language which handles DotNet (VB.Net / C# / Delphi / Python / almost anything really). And then there's some even deeper stuff which have yet to be included in the DotNet managed classes, for that you're stuck with ObjectARX and C++. Quote
