AutoLISP Automation Scripts
A collection of AutoLISP automation scripts developed during my mechanical co-op at Avalon Mechanical to streamline repetitive CAD drafting tasks in AutoCAD. Includes tools for layer management, double offsets, text alignment spacing, directory navigation, and more. Some scripts are Avalon Mechanical-specific and are not made public due to confidentiality.
What
- Developed a suite of AutoLISP scripts to automate repetitive CAD drafting operations in AutoCAD
- Created during a mechanical co-op at Avalon Mechanical for HVAC, plumbing, and fire suppression drawing production
How
- Wrote scripts in AutoLISP targeting common pain points: layer changes, double offsets, text alignment, directory opening, and layer cleanup
- Integrated scripts into the team's AutoCAD environment for immediate use by other drafters
Results
- Reduced CAD drafting time by over 30%, saving 7+ hours per week
- Scripts adopted by the broader drafting team at the firm
