After creating a frustum-shaped jig "manually", refactoring the code while introducing the idea of an "Entity Jig Framework and then updating the framework and providing a number of usage examples, today's post looks at a slightly more complex use-case: defining a jig to create a square (in X & Y) box by selecting opposing corners. […]

In the last post I introduced a simple framework to make the definition of multi-input entity jigs more straightforward. A big thanks to Chuck Wilbur, who provided some feedback that has resulted in a nicer base implementation, which we'll take for a spin in today's post. Here's the updated C# framework code that makes use […]

In the last post we saw some code to create a frustum-shaped Solid3d object inside AutoCAD. I mentioned at the bottom of that post that there seemed to be an opportunity to write a framework of some kind to abstract away some of the repetitive code needed to create a multi-input jig. I probably didn't […]

As promised, here's the cleaned-up code to jig a frustum inside AutoCAD. When I took on the task of writing this code – live, during the "AutoCAD Programming Gurus Go Head to Head" class at AU – I thought to myself "that should be easy enough – I'm sure I have some code to jig […]

After introducing the topic – as well as creating our basic, local web-service – in the last post, today we're going to publish our MVC 4 Web API application to the cloud and see it working from a number of different client environments. Preparing to publish to Azure Now that we're ready to publish to […]

After posting the handout for my Wednesday class, now it's time to start the one for Tuesday's - CP1914 - Moving Code to the Cloud: It's Easier Than You Think (I have a lot else going on on Tuesday, but this is the only class on that day for which I needed to prepare material). […]

This post contains the second part of the handout for my Windows 8-related session at AU 2012 (here's the first part). Here's the accompanying source project for the MetroCAD application, which has now been upgraded to work on the shipping version of Windows 8. What can be done with AutoCAD? Something that's being promoted by […]

After introducing the work down by Carlos Paris on using AutoCAD to hunt prime numbers, we then looked at some DesignScript code that essentially recreates the core geometry Carlos used to visualize prime numbers. In this post, we'll create some .NET code that iterates through the visualization, gathering primes and tagging them with rays to […]

There was a follow-up comment on this previous post, requesting that it also create a rectangular boundary around selected geometry. This is a much simpler problem to solve that dealing with a minimum enclosing circle, so I was happy enough to oblige. 🙂 Rather than duplicate code from the previous implement, I went ahead and […]

As part of my ongoing procrastination around my AU material development – despite which I'm managing to make some progress… my WinRT stuff is mostly done, now – I went ahead and updated my Kinect samples to use v1.6 of the SDK. The version which finally works from a Windows session inside a Parallels VM […]
