I am looking into ways to help our acad users migrate somewhat into MS. We will be beginning a pretty large project soon and we want to use all of our personel available which means our acad users and I'm gathering as much information as I can for acad users to better understand the things MS does. I have setup a preliminary workspace using the DWG/DXF variable and it seems to work pretty well. I haven't used acad for a very long time! I think it has evolved, along with MS, and as I think of our acad users, the thought of lisp routines came to mind.
So, can MS run lisp routines? Much of my searching tells me no, I"m hoping against hope but you can't get answers if you don't as quesions, right?
Thank you
MicroStation does not run AutoCAD LISP.
That said, many of the LISP programs I have seen in the interaction with A-CAD users, didn't do very complicated things. Many can probably be recreated in M-Sta. as a series of key-ins that can be placed on a button or function key, a Scrip (.txt) file, M-Sta Basic (.ba .bas) or VBA programs without much effort. As Lorys stated, Find out what they do and then pick the simplest ones to start customizing in M-Sta. If they do complicated things you may need to do VBA or MDL programming to accomplish what the LISP did, but I doubt the majority are that complicated.
