Well, pretty much as soon as I mention it, I get informed of its availability:

Hi Kean,
this looks like a fine piece of documentation / help - I'm looking forward to having a closer look at it, thanks for the link and thanks to the folks, who wrote the documentation and of course also to the folks, who had the idea to create an API documentation that way. -
Cool!
Will this guide be only available as an online resource (and we have to wait until AutoCAD 2011 for it to ship with the help) or will it be made available for download already now? Or can it be downloaded already and I just didn't see it?
Kind regards, Stephan -
Actually I believe this will remain online-only, at least that's the plan, right now.
You'll find more and more of our product documentation is also finding its way online.

Great to have it now. But I miss some parts, especially the new Overruling API.
-
Yes, this is one of the topics that didn't make it into Phase 1. Overrules is certainly on the list of topics to cover in due course.

Thank you, Kean.
I hope you inform us if this happens.Roland

Yes: I'll be sure to let you know of any significant updates to this guide.

The Developer's guide refers to another document called "AutoCAD .NET Reference Guide". Where can I see this?

The AutoCAD .NET Reference is currently part of the ObjectARX SDK (which you can download from here).

Hi Kean,
Please consider publishing this as a PDF.
Or fi anyone knows of a good web snake utility that till allow me to do this myself, I'd love to know about it.

Hi Darren,
I've passed on your feedback.
By the way - I've used a tool called HTTrack to make offline copies of my blog. It creates HTML, rather than PDF (I'm not sure how you'd automatically map non-linear content into a linear document structure - perhaps there are clever tools out there that do this).

Good news for those awaiting a PDF version of the guide: we're just working through some publishing issues, but we expect to be able to make one available soon.
Watch this space!

Hi Kean,
Thanks a lot for your great work in this blog. This blog as well as the video & the new "AutoCAD .NET Developer's Guide" saves a lot to time for us. Please consider at least publishing "AutoCAD .NET Developer's Guide" as a chm document like other ObjectArx docs. It will be a great help for those who don't have internet full time. Also its easy to print from chm.
I have one more suggestion to Autodesk in general. I had test used new Office 2010. MS had made it stunning fast. Pls adopt the same technology for AutoCAD ribbon, and make AutoCAD 2011 a speed buster.
Thanks again Kean

Hi Shijith,
If you want local HTML code, I suggest HTTrack (see above for the link). And for printing the PDF is on its way, by all accounts.
We're continually measuring and optimizing application performance: if a foundation technology becomes available we can effectively use to improve performance (without compromising quality) then I have high hopes that this will happen (assuming there's a genuine user problem and there isn't an incompatibility with our existing implementation).
Something else to bear in mind: not everything MS does in a particular release of their own products is immediately available and usable externally, of course, so there can be a lag.
Regards,
Kean
