To Launch Visual Studio Code (AutoLISP/VS Code)

The following methods can be used to launch Visual Studio Code after it has been installed:

Windows
  • In File Explorer, click Start menu > Visual Studio Code > Visual Studio Code.
  • In AutoCAD, at the Command prompt, enter vlisp. (Not available in AutoCAD LT for Windows.)

    If displayed, read and close the informational message to proceed.

    Note: Visual Studio Code might prompt for permission to allow the AutoCAD AutoLISP Extension to open a URI that displays a message box. Click Open to allow the extension to display the informational message during startup, or click Cancel to suppress the display of the informational message. Check "Don't ask again for this extension." to have VS Code remember your choice.
Mac OS
  • In Finder, click Go > Applications and then click Visual Studio Code in the Applications window.
