We are facing some problems with lisp programs that we have been using in ACAD2000. We even modified the lisp programs and erased the sections where they look for AutoCAD, but we are still having problems with Lisp routines.

We would like to know the various equivalent command that IntelliCAD uses for those in AutoCAD's lisp routines.

In short, lisp routines with a dialog interface will not work without some modification. Also, Autocad often uses Visual lisp which is not supported at all (functions starting with vl- in the code base).
It is not necessary "translate" a routine to Intellicad lisp, as the function (command) names are the same. Most of the routines only need some tweaking to work. Autocad lisp routines shipped with Autocad typically use some externally defined functions (e.g. error handlers) which may cause the lisp not to work. In those cases it will help to comment out the loading and usage of those functions.
