For AutoCAD LISP developers
Lightweight, fast, and built for direct injection. A convenient editor with readable themes and structured navigation.
An IDE for AutoLISP and DCL work.
Open a project folder, edit .lsp and .dcl files, and stay inside one window.
Press F5 or Ctrl+E to inject code into the active AutoCAD session through COM.
Session restore in the style of Notepad++. Tabs, layout, theme, and unsaved files return after restart. Rename untitled work without losing state.
See the active runtime line, capture errors in the output panel, and read a floating card at break lines that states the likely cause.
Themes, fonts, and editor tools.
Multiple editor themes with separate color rules for AutoLISP and DCL. Choose from installed monospace fonts, including JetBrains Mono, Fira Code, and IBM Plex Mono when present on your system. Zoom with Ctrl and the mouse wheel.
Reopen tabs, panel sizes, folder sort order, and the last folder path. Unsaved work survives restarts. Untitled files can be renamed from the tab bar.
Browse project folders with sort by name or modified date. Open files list keeps recently used tabs within reach.
A minimap along the editor edge shows the full file at a glance. Click or scroll to jump through long LISP sources quickly.
Double-click an opening or closing (, ), {, or } to select the entire form.
Toggle the function panel to list every defun and defun-q in file order. Select a name to jump to its definition.
Add bookmarks from the editor context menu.
Work on dialog layout and the LISP that drives it.
Edit a .dcl file and see a live preview in the right panel.
Open the inline DCL tool to edit DCL source, inline LISP, and preview together in one non-modal window. Move between DCL and write-line style LISP in both directions.
Runtime feedback tied to the line you are editing.
While code runs in AutoCAD, the editor highlights the line currently executing so you can follow control flow through your source.
Injected error handling writes runtime failures to the output panel. Read the message without digging through the AutoCAD command line.
Place (break) to stop at a line. When execution breaks or errors, a floating card near the line summarizes the general cause.
Point BoneVLIDE at a folder of LISP and DCL sources. The explorer and open-files list keep navigation simple.
Use syntax highlighting, the document map, function list, and DCL preview while you write. Session restore keeps your layout.
Press F5 to inject into the active drawing. Watch the output panel and active line marker as code executes.
Windows 10 and 11. Tested on AutoCAD 2018 and 2024.
