| 2009-10-31 | Kev | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks for leads to lisp sites, softpedia looked dated (2005) but Beowolf looks like it might be useful, although a bit pricey. BTW I checked your website and no links at all are working. |

| 2009-07-03 | Heidi | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks Bill. Unfortunately we did have to do a full uninstall & then reinstalled it. Everything appears to be working fine now.

Thanks again & have a great 4th of July weekend! -Heidi |

Answers by Expert:
Bill DeShawn
Expertise
I can address all 2-D questions and some 3-D questions. I do programming in AutoLISP if it doesn`t involve solid modeling. I can also address menu customization issues and can help you find answers to questions I can`t answer by taking your question directly to Autodesk via their newsgroups.
Experience
I used to do electronic and mechanical design for a flat panel monitor manufacturer, and now I do architectural drafting for an architect. I did and do AutoLISP and menu customization and take pride in making my lisp routines to do the work exactly the way the client likes them done.
Publications
I had a routine published in CADENCE magazine (no longer in publication and taken over by CADALYST). Some of my routines are published on my website at http://my.sterling.net/~bdeshawn
