does intellicad have a built-in Visual LISP IDE (VLIDE)?
If not what recommendations does anyone have?

Simple answer is NO

I use Notepad++

I'm using the trail version at the moment, I'm in the process of migrating from Bricscad and I'm having some issues with some lisp file, it seems some of the issues is to do with path format like double slashes.
I will download NotePad++
Thanks for your help

No, IntelliCAD doesn’t ship with a built-in VLIDE like AutoCAD. But in version 14.0, you can use the VLISP command to launch the IntelliCAD Lisp Debugger into Visual Studio Code.

Hi. VLISP command, great idea!
I downloaded the new version and tried the VLISP command but this is the message I am getting: Microsoft Visual Studio Code is not installed.
What is required to make this command work?

Hi,
You must have "Visual Studio Code" installed and the IntelliCAD® Lisp Debugger extension.
You can get them here:
VS-Code: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/windows
IntelliCAD extension: https://github.com/IntelliCAD-Official/vscode-icad-lisp
