In yesterday's post we saw a simple implementation of two commands to translate between geographical locations (latitude-longitude values) and drawing points inside AutoCAD. In this post we're extending that to access the current coordinate system, as returned by the GeoLocation object attached to the current drawing. Which in some ways should be simple, but then […]

The first is about AutoCAD's JavaScript API: Connect AutoCAD to the web with HTML5 and JavaScript AutoCAD 2015's JavaScript API enables a whole new generation of web-enabled applications. This session […]

The "call for proposals" for AU2014 is going out on April 23rd and will remain open for about a month. This is approaching quickly, so get your thinking hats on if you're considering submitting a class proposal.
