Which routines are you most excited to use? Let us know in the comments below!

It seems the core DLINE command is currently broken in AutoCADLT2024 v1.0?
"AutoCADLT2024 v1.0?" means "AutoCADLT2024" (2024.0.0)?
In German-version it works
DLINIE and _DLINE (and _.DLINE)
file: ACDLINE.ARX
located in the root program folder (which is not part of the listed supportpathes).

Also LT 2024 still doesnโt support arx
Still?
Not?
So all years such files are useless in LT?
And arx Errors are only to kidding LT Users?
The question was not if you can use this api for your own stuff ๐
Sebastian
Thank you @cadffm @paullimapa @pendean for your thoughts on this.

Please confirm - Autolisp is only available in the Windows version of AutoCAD LT? Unless I am mistaken, it doesn't seem to be available in the 2024 version of AutoCAD LT for Mac.

Already answered in the AutoCAD for MAC forum, start here https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-for-mac-forum/autocad-lt-for-mac-and-autolisp/m-p/11887650#M4...
Will user functionality such as access through the CUI/manage ribbon, and commands such as vlisp be made accessible for autocad lt users? Can load in using appload, but not a clear route to using them if you don't know that command.
I'm new to Lisp and I have no coding experience. How to load a lisp code that Chatgpt wrote?
The Help documents show these steps which are not found in AutoCAD LT
- In AutoCAD, do one of the following:
- (Windows) On the ribbon, click Manage tab
Applications panel
Load Application.
- (Mac OS) On the Mac OS menu bar, click Tools
Load Application.
- At the Command prompt, enter appload.
@marc.khalil Just drag and drop it from the LSP file location to your open LT2024 session. Assuming that chatGPT actually works, most often it does not.

Hi @marc.khalil
Here is a video I did showing the process, Hope this helps.

What is the logic behind not including lisp functionality in the CUI/manage ribbon?
Thanks
I know GPT has limitations, so I'm trying simple things. I tried to make a lisp to create serial numbers to count object (baby steps) and I got it to work after about 4 revisions.
After that I tried to make a lisp to create a delta, it works okay but is not ready to fully use. I'm trying to learn, I don't know if there is LISP For Dummies.
I had the same issue until I found that 2024 imported the CUI from 2023 which did not have the LISP icons. So try to restore CUI to default 2024 or look for the missing icons and add them.
this is a good start:

Yes, "migration" is a replacement action not a merging action. If you are organized enough with your customizations you can avoid the need for it.
