C# and autocad lt

[CesarA]

I have a computer with autocad lt 2009. I have worked with c# previously and started 2 weeks ago with lisp. But lisp isn't compatible with that computer.

 

So the question is, is c# compatible with lt? Are there differences that I should take care of? Or like lisp, c# doesn't work in autocad at all?

 

Just wanna know before deciding if i'm going to use c# instead of lisp

 

Thank you

AutoCAD LT does not support the use of lisp; never has. As far as C# I couldn't tell you.

Thanks ReMark

Does anyone experienced in c# and autocad knows if lt is fully compatible?

Thanks ReMark

Does anyone experienced in c# and autocad knows if lt is fully compatible?

 

Wouldn't that information be available in the AutoCAD .NET Developer's Guide?

[CesarA]

No, it only refers to autocad full version, actually the word "lt" doesn't even show up

[ReMark]

Well I guess you have you answer then?

[CesarA]

well you are probably right, altough a clear statement would make it easier

Nope no programming capabilities inside Autocad LT, we get scripts which can be used to string together most Autocad commands into a sequence that can be quite lengthy, but no descision making or user input. Or you can get into macro's, which are basically the same, but macro's allow the use of diesel expressions which you can get to do some pretty fancy stuff, and a macro will allow some user input, but it probably is not economically sensible considering the time it can take. Outside of LT a lot of people use excel to create script files, but this involves a couple of extra steps ie. copy and paste from excel into the Autocad command line.

Thanks steven-g I was expecting that situation already.

A few years ago there was a lisp enabler for LT but the might and huge dollar pockets saw it challenged legally by Autodesk and it was no more!
