After introducing the series and looking at sample applications for 2D graphics using Paper.js and 2.5D graphics using Isomer, it's now really time to go 3D. We're going to use much of the same code we saw in the last post – with some simplification as we no longer need to sort the solids by […]

After introducing the series and looking at a sample 2D JavaScript application, it's time to go 3D. Well, 2.5D, anyway. We're going to implement a simple sample using the Isomer library that extracts bounding box information about 3D solids – which could be extended to get more detailed topological information, albeit with quite some work […]

Having introduced this series, it's time to look at some code. This first sample shows how to create and host a web-page that uses an external graphics library – in our case Paper.js – within an AutoCAD application. The main "trick" to this is going to be getting the data from the HTML page into […]

During the last week or so I've put together a number of new sample integrations of JavaScript-based technologies with AutoCAD, mainly to form the basis of my proposed AU2014 class but also (obviously) to share here. This first post introduces the series, giving an overview of some benefits – as I see them – of […]

I had an interesting email last week from Josh Mathews: I'm having some trouble figuring out how to fix this problem I have and I'm not sure what the best way is to attack it. I have a large set of drawings that have these random strings of underscores strewn throughout the drawing (which look […]

A few people expressed an interest in understanding how AutoCAD 2015's ability to open HTML pages inside its frame – shown in this recent post – could be extended to work with "native" user interfaces. This post shows how that can be done using WPF – the other supported mechanism for adding new documents to […]

I have to say that I'm having an absolute blast getting to know the new API features in AutoCAD 2015. It turns out I'd barely scratched the surface with my original post about the impact for developers. It's a release that just keeps on giving. 🙂 One new feature that I've had a lot of fun […]

Many thanks to Holger Rasch who worked out how to fix the code in this previous post. It really doesn't matter that 3 years have passed, Holger – I have no doubt people will greatly appreciate the fact the code can now run without causing the annoying display issues it produced previously. Holger made a […]

This was a fun one. It was really only a single line of code but I decided to embellish it a bit to make it a bit more useful. The "task" I set myself was to open a web-page – this blog, in fact – inside AutoCAD as an MDI child. AutoCAD can now host […]

In yesterday's post, we looked at a mechanism that has been introduced in AutoCAD 2015 to simplify associating custom data with a Document. In today's post we're going to swap out the custom manager class to make use of the standard UserData mechanism, showing how the PerDocumentClass attribute and the UserData property are actually highly […]
