Message-ID: <981994809.20070822223607@noise.cz>

Hello everybody,
        I would like to use common lisp to program / script CAD
        application Autodesk Revit via its .NET API.

API readme says:
        "API supports in-process DLLs only"

What does it mean? Is there any chance to use RDNZL with this
statement? (Sorry for dumb question..., I'm completely new in this
area, I just wanted to use my quite good autolisp knowledge for
scripting Revit application)?


Regards Frantisek Stafek

Are you using Franz AllegroCL?

Allegro has the ability to generate itself as an in-process COM dll.  You can also make an ordinary DLL with Allegro.  In either case, if Revit is based on AutoCAD, you can write a small ARX application with MSVC++ which loads the DLL into AutoCAD's process space.  Once you have Allegro running inside AutoCAD, RDNZL will communicate with AutoCAD's .NET API.

If Revit is not based on Autocad, I am sure the procedure would be similar.

Right.  And you can do the same thing with LispWorks and Corman Lisp
as well.  I think that should work fine.  I've built in-process DLLs
with LispWorks pretty often, but admittedly never one which deployed
RDNZL.

Cheers,
Edi.
