ACADLISP

I am trying to get familiar with AutoLISP via using a tutorial. When I load an example type the name of the LISP file in the Visual LISP editor, it executes but nothing happens in ACAD. What am I doing wrong?

 

when you are in the lisp editor it's not ment to effect cad.. (not that
i know of)..

 

what exactly are you typiing into AutoCAD and what is the LISP function name?

 

In order to run lisp application, you must load it first.
use appload command on command prompt.
take a look into lisp file it self using vlide.
It begins always with something like..

(defun c:something.... ()

that means after loading lisp file, you will be able to use a new
command called something
