Free AutoCAD programming webcast: .NET for LISP Programmers

, , , ,

As mentioned in this previous post, my team delivers regular webcasts on programming with Autodesk technologies.

Assuming you're reading this while the metaphorical ink's still damp, it's still not too late to register for a class being held on Thursday October 16th at 8am Pacific, 5pm CET: AutoCAD: .NET for LISP Programmers.

Otherwise you should be able to find a recording of the webcast on this page within a few weeks of the session being delivered. In fact, here's the recording of the last time this session was delivered (although it may well have been updated slightly, as the session will also be delivered at AU 2008).

Here's a brief synopsis of the topic covered by this webcast:

You know that .NET is a modern and powerful programming environment. But, no matter how much you might want to start using it, you can't abandon all your old LISP code. We'll show you how to write .NET code that can interoperate with your existing LISP code, with a special emphasis on user interface components.

    Hi Kean,
    I was lloking through posts, and could not find an answer to this:
    The trim command allows crossing window selection of items within xrefs, as if the items are active.
    is there a way to do this with .net?
    I can do individual items no problem, but using windows is a dead end so far, I get the whole xref (block) or nothing...thanks

    Also, almost forgot, can .net get and set lisp variables that are in separate namespaces?
    I compile all my lisps to separate namespace vlx files.
    Last time I tried, you could only get at vars set from non-compiled lisps.
    thanks

    Hi James,

    I haven't tried this, myself (at least, not recently), but you might try setting PromptSelectionOptions.AllowSubSelections to true. I can't recall whether it works for XRefs.

    Failing that, I'd suggest asking ADN or posting to the discussion group.

    I don't recall what access is available for variables stored in VLXs - again, another good one to ask ADN or post to a forum.

    Regards,

    Kean

    This isn't a forum for support.

    Your comment doesn't appear to relate to this post, so please submit your question to the ADN team, if you're a member, or otherwise the AutoCAD .NET Discussion Group.
