DevTV: Introductory recordings on Autodesk APIs

My team has been working very hard on some recordings of introductory presentations around our APIs. Here is the first batch of recordings we've just posted as part of our DevTV series (the idea being these are recordings that are "produced", while our webcast recordings are somewhat raw):

Introduction to AutoCAD .NET Programming view download (148 MB)
Introduction to Inventor Programming view download (51.7 MB)
Introduction to Revit Programming view download (64.3 MB)
Introduction to Civil 3D Programming view download (27.3 MB)
Introduction to MapGuide Enterprise Programming view download (37.4 MB)

Enjoy! 🙂

  5. Thanks kean, Nice work !!!!!!!!!

  6. Excellent material! Thanks to all that participated!

  7. Great Stuff Kean, thanks for all you do for us!

  8. Excellent work! Any chance we'll see one for Vault/Productstream?

  9. These are very nice and very helpful for people. Great Job!

  10. Jim -

    It's not one that's in the works, right now, but I'll pass on the suggestion.

    Kean

  11. Kean,
    Do you have plans to convert the samples to buildable C# solutions ?

    ///kwb

  12. Kerry,

    I wasn't personally involved in preparing the material, but I have passed on your question.

    Kean

  13. OK - apparently not, but you should be able to use online convertors or SharpDevelop, of course.

    Please post a comment if you have problems converting any of the samples.

    Kean

  14. >> OK - apparently not, but you should be able to use online convertors or SharpDevelop, of course.

    Please post a comment if you have problems converting any of the samples.
    <<<

    Thats the same erroneous assumption that was made about the SDK samples.

    There are 73 errors and warnings generated trying to build the converted solution.
    While some of these are similar errors they still require attending to.
    I'm sure that not everyone trying to learn from the samples would want to learn the idiosyncracies of VB just required to make the translation.

    Regards
    Kerry

  15. PS:
    I noticed that the Revit Samples DO have both VB and CS code included ....

  16. Kerry,

    The presenter chose to use VB for this sample. I mostly choose C#, but have, on the odd occasional, chosen to use VB. The choice I make is to spend my time focusing on generating more content rather than spending time on conversion - I started off posting in both languages but soon found it too time-consuming.

    I would hope that the majority of readers would agree with this choice (as otherwise my output would reduce: there's simply no way around that).

    The online tools are generally pretty good. If you know the target environment (which you should, given that's the environment you're choosing to translate into), then you should be able to work out what else needs to be changed pretty quickly.

    And if you have trouble, let me know.

    Kean

  17. Thanks Kean, We all appreciate it! Will you be at AU?

  18. Absolutely! I have a couple of classes (both full, unfortunately) and an "AU Unplugged" session on Thursday.

    Be sure to add yourself to the "Through the Interface" group on AU Online! 🙂

    Kean

  19. Thank you for the excellent training videos! I was wavering between learning VB or C# (after the recent announcements about VBA there are a lot of us wondering which direction to go in) but having these in VB has been the final deciding factor for me.

  20. This Thread post has the sample source solution in C#.

    theswamp.org/ind...

    The threads can be viewed by guests, but membership (free) is required to download and post.

  21. Kerry,

    Thanks for posting this info.

    We'll see what we can do to provide samples accompanying this type of training in multiple languages, in future (resources permitting).

    The timing of this particular one was bad, in a sense: with all the work we needed to do to prepare for AU it just wasn't something we could get to in the required timeframe.

    Regards,

    Kean

  22. Dear Kean,
    thank you for this videos.
    Is it possible to get the AsdkInspectorVC8.arx?

    Roland

  23. I've been having issues locating the inspector as well. Any thoughts?

  24. I've sent the application to those of you who've requested it. For now I'm doing so by email until I determine the appropriate place to post this.

    Kean

  25. Is it possible to get the AsdkInspectorVC8.arx?

  26. Where do you download the code or the ARX for AsdkInspector

    It seems like a really good tool to use and track what is going on.

    Thanks

    Is it possible to get the AsdkInspectorVC8.arx and not the inspector.zip? Would be great!

  28. Could someone please send me the AsdkInspectorVC8 tool.

    Thanks for great videos.

  29. Can I get the Inspector as well? Im just starting to go thru the videos.

    Great job

  30. I would also like the AsdkInspectorVC8 tool. Seems quite useful. I would think it would be useful to post it in the same place as the videos, perhaps in it's own folder with other samples such as it, available for download from this page.

    The videos are great, by the way. Did a great job getting me started.

  31. I would also like the AsdkInspectorVC8.arx. If anything it is a great way to show someone the acad database.

    I would like to get a copy of the Inspector tool sent to me. Great video - learning a lot. Thanks!

  33. I do not want to be very original and thank you for your great job and ask for Inspector :). I am using Autocad MEP 2009. Will you Inspector work with this edition?

    Once again thanks for solid job

  34. Kean Walmsley Avatar

    Hi Valdas,

    It should work fine in AutoCAD MEP, although I haven't tried it. I've sent the application to you by email.

    Kean

  35. No one will accuse me of being immaginative after asking for ... Inspector, right? -:)
    If possible, binary and source code. I used to have the V2000 version but misplaced it.

    thanks

    alex

  36. Hi Kean,

    Am I too late in asking for a copy of AsdkInspectorVC8.arx? It will be a great help to me as I attempt to make theswitch from VLisp to c# .net.

    Steve

  37. Hi Kean,
    Is acad 2005 have some database inspector like AsdkInspectorVC8.arx?if it is, could you send me some info or a link where can i download it.
    Or if the AsdkInspectorVC8.arx can also works in acad 2005, it will be great help if you could send me the copy of asdkInspectorVC8.arx too. Thanks a lot

    Iis

  38. Kean Walmsley Avatar

    You can build the ArxDbg sample on the ObjectARX SDK - that's also a very handy tool.

    I'll send Inspector by a separate email.

    Kean

  39. I just finished watching your series, thanks for the introduction to autocad. It really helped me understand how its working. Can you send me the inspector program? I looks interesting and it would help me learn the autocad database structure (which is my weakpoint). Thanks

  44. Hi there Kean,
    Would you please tell me where can I get the AsdkInspector.arx application from?

    I greatly appreciate your help with respect to that matter.
    Regards,
    Stefan

  45. Hello there Kean,
    I'd like to make a correction: the complete name of the application I mentioned in my previous e-mail is AsdkInspectorVC8.arx.
    Sorry for the misspelling.
    Regards,

    Looks like Inspector is available only upon request. Please send me the file or link.

  63. I'm trying to figure out this .net pretty hard and heavy and I think if you sent me that inspector as well it could help me wrap my head around the acad db better.

  64. Hello Kean

    May I also have a copy of AsdkInspectorVC8.arx ? I've been looking it on the internet, but I can't find it!

    Thanks

  65. Hello Kean,

    thanks for such good job with your videos. It should take a lot of work, and it's nice to find people just helping others.

    It seems you send the Inspector only by Email, so would you please send it to me also. It would be very helpful in the project i'm involved. (replace an old lisp tool for autocad 2005 to a brand new .Net tool for autocad 2009)

    Regards, and thanks again for your really good job.

  67. Hello Kean,

    I as well would love to get a copy of the AsdkInspectorVc8.arx.

    I've been using the ArxDbg that comes with the ObjectARX, but I prefer how the information is presented in the asdkInspector tool.

    Thank you

  80. Sorry, it is me again.

    I am trying to follow You using VS 2008. Unfortunately the arx wizard does not install, says that needs vs 2005. Do You know if there is a version for VS 2008?
    Thank You

  81. Nicusor -

    There will be once VS 2008 is supported for ObjectARX development (not the case with any versions of AutoCAD shipping today).

    Here's some background that may help.

  82. Thank You for the info Kean. Please send me the inspector.

  95. Hi Kean,

    I'm exploring ObjectArx and saw your webcast about AutoCAD .NET programming. Just super!
    At this point an ADN membership is just overkill to what I'm doing. But I also would like the AsdkInspector tool. Is it possible to get a copy? It's a 'must have' tool to explore the drawing database, I guess.

    Regards,
    Geert

  96. Hello Kean!

    If I may, I would like to place myself next in line for the AsdkInspectorVC8.arx.

    I found a similar tool on autodesk.blogs.com/b... but yours seems to be better, since your tool allows simultanious drafting while the tool is running. Therefore I would appreciate, if you would send it to me as well.

    THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WORK and that of your team.
    Regards, Stephan

  97. Yes... I'm going through this tutorial now, and am looking for the AdskInspectorVC8.arx, and it still isn't available for download.

  104. Hi Kean
    My copy of AsdkInspector2008.arx, when unloaded, causes acad to crash.
    The contents of acad.err file:

    FATAL ERROR: Runtime Extension Program '[path]AsdkInspector2008.arx'
    doesn't define function acrxEntryPoint.

    ????
    Also, is the source code available?

    Thanks
