AutoCAD 2023 Developer Update

This year we have released many good features, for key features refer https://www.autodesk.com/products/autocad/features

Important attraction on API side for this release is AutoCAD LISP API for AutoCAD web app.

This API is exclusively for AutoCAD subscribers. Whether you are on the go, at a job site, or anywhere else, create your own customizations to automate sequences with LISP in the AutoCAD web app.  (Video: 55 sec.)

Some known limitations of Lisp API on web –

- Any functionality that relies on a platform-specific technology (i.e., Visual Lisp and DCL).

- Any functionality that is not supported in AutoCAD Web (AutoCAD Web does not support everything desktop does - 3d editing for example).

- Any functionality that would violate browsers sandboxing rules (such as reading and writing to your local filesystem without going through normal browser restrictions.
