Loading and using AutoLisp's

[AzMandella]

Ok I have been trying to find out how to get total inches of a drawing and found an autolisp for such action but don't know how to load and use it. The lisp I found in another thread. Do I copy it and paste it in the load auto lisp or visual. Then how do you activate it and run it?

[mugshot]

open the lisp in notepad and look the first word....

use the command "appload" to use the LISP.

Browse for the location of where you save your LISP files and load it from there.

and if you want to always load the LISP file evertime you run CAD, include your file in the startup suite.

Thanx guy's. Now I have another problem. The tutorial says autoLisp's will not run in Autocad LT without a 3rd party program like LT-Extender. Where might I find such program?

Try Googling LT-Extender
