IntelliCAD 14: Visual LISP Development in Visual Studio Code with VLISP

AutoLISP® is often used to solve practical problems in CAD workflows, with small custom commands that save time and reduce repetitive work. What has traditionally been missing in IntelliCAD is a modern, developer-friendly way to write and debug those scripts.

With IntelliCAD 14.0, the new VLISP command introduces a Visual LISP–style debugging workflow using Visual Studio Code, powered by the IntelliCAD LISP Debugger extension.

This update focuses on how developers actually work today: using a modern editor, stepping through code, inspecting variables, and refining logic until it behaves correctly.

Programming with IntelliCAD

The IntelliCAD Technology Consortium (ITC) is a nonprofit organization that delivers a safe and affordable CAD programming platform for its members. Each of the consortium’s commercial members share the source code of the IntelliCAD program and invariably add their own specialty solutions for their own niche markets.
