muck Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I have been looking at BabaCAD as an free alternative to AutoCAD. I noticed that you can use Lisp & C# with this program. It looks simular to AutoCAD with paperspace & modelspace. Is there any other CAD alternatives that I might be able to use Lisp & C#.net with? Maybe there is something better.

Cad64 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 There are many alternatives to Autocad, and I believe that most will allow you to use Lisp, not sure about C#. Take a look at this thread for low cost alternatives: And this thread for free alternatives: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muck Posted August 2, 2021 Author Share Posted August 2, 2021 All, I was looking for something that uses LISP , Visual basic, C sharp routines. Is there any program does that? Thank you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 (edited) YES ! Did you look at the suggestions we are not going to do the googling for you, they all list what they can do in terms of SDK, software developers kit.

muck Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 Yes I do google searches but I have not found any CAD programs does both Lisp & C sharp, VS like AutoCAD does . The only thing I have found is BaBaCAD that says that it can use Lisp and maybe both VS if a person puts some money into it. I have not tested the program yet. It might be a possibility. Maybe some other CAD programs can use Lisp but I don't know how well because I have tested them yet. I am still looking into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLW210 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I found this on the ZWCAD site... Quote Strong APIs including LISP, VBA, ZRX, and .NET are also ready for developing and porting more vertical applications smoothly You need to work on your Searchfoo skills.

muck Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) Never can have good enough Searchfoo Skills but is will take a little time to do this. I am looking for something that is cost effective (including the free programs) Something for the individual user that is not going to make a profit. Thank you, Edited August 4, 2021 by muck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f700es Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Well.. "cost effective" is subjective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Just two questions are you being paid for your work and what cost do you put on "Tools of trade" purchase. Where I live cad software is tax deductable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 What is the need for .NET? Nothing suggested so far is very expensive at all IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muck Posted August 17, 2021 Author Share Posted August 17, 2021 All, Well I just download and started to look at a program called NanoCAD 5 I don't know if I am using the free or trail version but at first glance it appears to have the look & feel of AutoCAD. I have not tried to use lisp or any net products with it yet. It may be an interesting possibility. Thank you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 If you actually downloaded and installed nanoCAD 5 then yes, it is the "free" version. Other versions available are nanoCAD PLus (US $180) and nanoCAD Pro (US $290). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
