About Getting Organized (AutoLISP)

To develop an AutoLISP program with VLISP you must perform the following steps:

• Think about which tasks you want to accomplish with your program, and how to approach those tasks.
• Design the program.
• Write the code.
• Format the code for readability.
• Check for errors in the program.
• Test and debug the program.

This chapter provides you with information to help you accomplish writing, formatting, and checking tasks. The About Debugging Programs (AutoLISP) topic describes the debugging features of VLISP. The About Building Applications (AutoLISP) and About Maintaining Visual LISP Applications (AutoLISP) topics describe how to package your programs into applications that can be run by other users, and how to organize application components to facilitate future updates.
