Today I present another long awaited free utility that should help fellow lisper’s better utilize their Lisp libraries. For those of us who have have written many thousands of lines and often find it easier to start from scratch than locate something we worked on 2 or 3 years ago; this tool is for you! […]
Hoping to get caught up on some posts this weekend. I mostly wrote this a while ago, but couldn’t find time to finish it. We received a lot of important (albeit hidden) tools In the 2019 release of Fabrication/CADmep. Most notably with the object enabler. Even standard users have probably noticed new (important) properties like […]
For anyone who uses AutoCAD (with or without one of its verticals) to create models on a BIM job, chances are high that you are also using Navisworks simultaneously to coordinate the 3D space with other trades. Chances are also just as high that you have needed to reference this Coordination model in AutoCAD in […]
I still have a great lisp management tool coming, but lately I’ve been writing some very rigid SharePoint validation formulas and couldn’t find a good syntax highlighting utility. The closest thing I found was for Excel. Which is extremely similar, but it has 3-4x the number of functions that SharePoint does and I was generally […]

We could have done this through lisp quite easily, but there was one complex dialog associated with it. I’ve always hated the Dialog Control Language in AutoCAD, but it certainly […]
Sorry to go fairly dark for a while, but I think Andy said it best. “Being asked to accomplish seemingly impossible goals on a regular basis is just what we do, but these days it feels more like trying to rewrite the first 3 laws of physics”. I am sure that isn’t an exact quote, […]
If you are an avid keyboard user like me, then you probably share my contempt for the developers choice of mandating a dialog prompt for text entry on Plant 3D IsoMessages. I know it was a constant irritation of mine years ago when I was first using P3D. Especially since there were so many logical […]
