I write engineering design programs in VC++6. I wish to transfer the drawings to Autocad. I am aware that I will have to write code in Lisp. But where should I write this code. Will anybody guide me?

Where / what format do you want to transfer your drawings from? Your question is not very clear, please give more details. :)

It's not so true: AutoCAD provides automation through AutoLisp and/or VBA, but this means that you "embed" some code into AutoCAD to extend its capabilities; for instance you can write an AutoLisp or VBA routine that load a drawing from your own file format.

If you have a project written with VC6, you can add it functioalities to export drawings to DXF files and then load them into AutoCAD; there are plenty of C/C++ libraries that you can find on the internet to do that.

Personally, I used dxflib[^] to add DXF import/export functionalities to some software of mine.
