I am looking for a lisp which can help me in drawing ductworks.

I browsed it on Youtube:

The LISP programs, as noted, are "basic". If you want more functionality, move on to one of the others I linked such as AutoCAD MEP.

 

But you can incorporate Dynamic Blocks into your Tool Palettes for very effective and powerful fitting placement. Combing Tool Palettes with this LISP and building a method that works best for you is the best way to do it with these basic and free LISP routines. The only other option would be a costly one.
