Open an existing LSP file for edit in the Visual LISP IDE.
Note: The Visual LISP IDE is available on Windows only.
- In Visual LISP, click File
Open File. - In the Open File dialog box, browse to the folder that contains the AutoLISP (LSP) file you want to open.
- Double-click the file to open, or select the file and click Open.
Visual LISP opens the file in a new text editor window.
Note: The Visual LISP editor allows you to open and work on more than one file at a time.
Example
This example requires the installation of the Visual LISP Sample files.
- In Visual LISP, click File Open File.
- In the Open File dialog box, browse to the Sample\VisualLISP folder, which is located in your AutoCAD installation directory.
- Double-click the drawline.lsp file.
Visual LISP opens the file in a new window—the text editor window—and displays the name of the file in the status bar. If you make a change to the text in the editor window, or add new text, Visual LISP places an asterisk (*) next to the file name in the status bar. The asterisk remains next to that file name until you either save your changes or close the file.
