http://www.cadalyst.com/benchmark-test

I've just internationalized the lisp, making them work with all Autocad

2010 to 2012 autocad versions

Files and explainations are here g-eaux.over-blog , but ... in french: just follw the links, and enjoy google translation ...

2002 to 2006 autocad version

I've made 2 pack : One for the 2000 to 2002 versions and the other for 2004 to 2006 versions

Once downloaded, just  extract the files.

Start the Autocad version that you want to test, enter SDI, set it to 1 to activate the unic drawing mode and then quit Autocad. A double click on the drawing  "start.dwg" (this is an empty drawing but it makes sure that Autocad runs in the benchmark directory) and  then load the C2001_go.lsp application

Fill the XXXX fields whith values that you know, it will be helpful to compare tests.

I've tryed to contact  Cadalyst to bring this version back on their site, but without success.
