AutoCAD ® commands defined by ObjectARX ® or AutoLISP ® applications are called externally defined. AutoLISP applications may need to access externally defined commands differently from the way they access built-in AutoLISP functions. Many externally defined commands have their own programming interfaces that allow AutoLISP applications to take advantage of their functionality.
