This is very clear and easy to understand.
By Gileno Mascarenhas on 12/6/2020
This tutorial focuses in AutoLISP's data extraction capabilities only. AutoLISP is so much more than that. I do not think this tutorial reaches AutoLISP's advanced functions and techniques. But the quality and didactics are fine. For that reason, I think it is a good tutorial.

Hello Arnold,
First of all - it is a very nice course, thanks.
As a guideline for the future - in the scratch tutorials you can focus more on the syntax at first.
Have you thought abut prepering a lesson about DLC in AutoLISP?
It would be awesome :)
Greetings,
Radek

Hi,
All videos are very helpful to new learners. We request you add tutorial globe and local variable declaration and their uses.
Can you add the visualLISP part on same Tutorial?
Thank You.
