Well, I wouldn't recommend learning ADS as it went out with R14.
You can define functions from ObjectARX (ADS's replacement) that you can
call from lisp.
First thing you're going to need is Visual C++ 6.0 for AutoCAD 2000-2002
or Visual C++ .NET 7.0 for 2004-2005. If you don't have either then
you've got some significant leg work to do because neither are currently
available versions. You'll need to purchase the current version and
downgrade it (not sure if you can still downgrade to 6.0 though).
Download and install the ObjectARX SDK. In the Developer's help file
look up 'Chapter 3 -- ObjectARX Application Basics' -> 'Running
ObjectARX Applications from AutoLISP'
I recommend you install the ObjectARX wizard in the ..\utils\ObjARXWiz
folder. The ObjectARX wizard can help you create and arx project and
simplify the task of adding the lisp functions via acedDefun().
