AutoCAD/Expert Profile
Expertise
I`ve been using AutoCAD since 1987 and programming AutoLISP nearly as long. I can answer questions about programming AutoCAD (except ARX) and production enhancement techniques. I cannot answer questions about AutoCAD crashes or DWG corruption. AutoCAD PROGRAMMING (menus, lisp) related questions only!
Experience in the area
Since 1987. Author of Plot2000 software for for AutoCAD, http://www.plot2000.com. PROGRAMMING QUESTIONS ONLY PLEASE. Questions that are NOT related to programming or AutoCAD customization (menus and lisp only please) are outside the scope of my volunteer services and will NOT BE ANSWERED.
What do you like about this subject?
There is a new challenge every day, and there are many ways to solve most problems. Please ask me AutoLisp questions only please.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject
