Hello PepaR,
do you want the names or a description of them?
I use lisp routines for diferent types of offsets but not in fixed distances. More time offset in one direction or one offset in both direction with the same distance.
There is one for offseting in a new layer chose by user at the distance required by user.
Diferent cutting lisp routines (BreakAll).
I use Autocad 2005 most of the time in my office and I don't make separate hatches from 2005 so I have a lisp routine that is making this for me.
One lisp routine is making a new layer linetype with a word (or more words) that I need in that layer to reprezent something.
One lisp routine is making a sum of all the areas that I select for diferent quantities.
Other one is making a sum for all the lines and polylines I select in a drawing.
 
Maybe if somebody can give diferent usefull examples of lisp routines ....

whew....  big field here, so many lisps all are good, a group of routines all linked together in a menu or toolbars, taylored for you is so productive and most useful.. I like small ones that cut out a few keybord strokes like this:

;^C^COFFSET 4.5
(defun c:2- () (command "OFFSET" "2") (princ))
(defun c:2-5 () (command "OFFSET" "2.5") (princ))
(defun c:3- () (command "OFFSET" "3") (princ))
(defun c:3-5 () (command "OFFSET" "3.5") (princ))
(defun c:4- () (command "OFFSET" "4") (princ))
(defun c:4-5 () (command "OFFSET" "4.5") (princ))
(defun c:5- () (command "OFFSET" "5") (princ))
(defun c:5-5 () (command "OFFSET" "5.5") (princ))
(defun c:6- () (command "OFFSET" "6") (princ))
(defun c:6-5 () (command "OFFSET" "6.5") (princ))

Autolisp is the root of Express tool. So the better LSP you got the more productive you will be.]]> Sun, 02 Nov 2008 09:57:26 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=1225&PID=3472&title=favourite-addons-tools-for-autocad#3472 <![CDATA[Favourite addons, tools for AutoCAD : There is not much added functionality...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=1225&PID=3463&title=favourite-addons-tools-for-autocad#3463 Author: Vladimir Michl

There is not much added functionality but Express Tools are still developed. ET is still there in AutoCAD 2009 and some of the ET commands have made it to the core AutoCAD commands.]]> Fri, 31 Oct 2008 20:45:30 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=1225&PID=3463&title=favourite-addons-tools-for-autocad#3463 <![CDATA[Favourite addons, tools for AutoCAD : I&#039;d say that express tools...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=1225&PID=3456&title=favourite-addons-tools-for-autocad#3456 Author: Kajito

I'd say that express tools are one of the most powerful tools for autocad. What a pity the developers stopped few years ago ...
I use as well CADS detailing suite - but that is very specific for structural enginners ..
