How do I start the AutoLISP programs inside AutoCAD?
The answer to this question varies a great deal. Some AutoLISP programs run right away as you load them. Others require that you type in the name of a command to get it started. The utilities from this web site provide additional information such as command names to use when they are loading. You can also start the functions by typing in their full name surrounded by parentheses. For example, if you download the function set named JOINER.LSP and load it, you can type JOINER or (C:JOINER) at the command line to start the function. Obviously the version without parentheses is preferred when manually typing. The longer version is provided as a method of starting the function inside your own AutoLISP function.
