Programming IntelliCAD

Another way you can customize IntelliCAD is to add custom programs written in any of several programming languages that run within IntelliCAD, including LISP.

You can run many programs originally created for use with AutoCAD in IntelliCAD. Specifically, you can use programs written entirely in AutoLISP in IntelliCAD with no modification. You can also run many ADS programs originally written for use with AutoCAD in IntelliCAD after first recompiling them using the IntelliCAD run-time libraries. Many AutoCAD third-party programs are compatible with IntelliCAD.

Creating custom programs for use with IntelliCAD is beyond the scope of this online user's guide. For information about programming for IntelliCAD, see the online help for the IntelliCAD Programmer's Reference.
