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.
