Hey, i need to enhance my workflow within AutoCAD. I frequently encounter situations where I need to copy an object and paste it in various points across my drawing, there are instances where i need to align the object with the wall or where i want to put it, this process involves multiple steps, copying, pasting, and manually rotating the object for each occurrence. Is there an AutoLISP or command that facilitates the rotation of the object while I’m positioning it to the desired point ?
Hi, I don’t think you will get any advice here on autolisp. I am not sure if reddit has subs that might cater for that, it may be that you have to go to an autocad specific forum to get what you need.
Is there a published autolisp API anywhere?
Somewhere on Autodesk’s site perhaps?

If the items you want to copy are identical, you can turn them into dynamic blocks and use the Align Dynamic to autorotate during placement.
Then you can use the copybase command to place them.
