  1. The topic “Lisp: Select by Handle ID” is a powerful concept, especially for those working with AutoLISP in CAD environments. It allows users to directly select objects using their unique handle IDs, streamlining workflows and improving precision during design automation or scripting. This level of control is valuable when managing large or complex drawings. Similarly, in creative industries like textile and fashion, digitizing for embroidery relies on similar precision and accuracy. Just as Lisp enables exact object selection, professional digitizing ensures every stitch in an embroidery design is perfectly placed, leading to high-quality and error-free embroidered results.
