Another piece of code culled from an email from Balaji Ramamoorthy, from DevTech India. I did a little refactoring and formatting, to fit the blog. Thanks, Balaji! 🙂 The below C# code demonstrates how to use Solid3d.ChamferEdges() with a user-selected edge and face. Balaji has also provided code to determine the edge and face programmatically […]

As a follow-on from the last post, today we're going to see how to actually stop the erase operation from happening for a certain type of object (in this case we're going to focus on Lines). Thanks for Stephen Preston for showing us the way in his comment on that post: inspired by his suggestion […]

I started looking into the ObjectOverrule class, this week, to see if I could use it to prevent erasure of certain objects. My thinking was that overruling Erase() would allow me to control whether an object was erased or not, simply by my decision whether or not to super-message to the base implementation. That doesn't […]

On the day I left AU, I facilitated an unconference session (CP4459-U) on AutoCAD .NET development, focusing on tools and best practices. It was a really good session: well attended with plenty of participation. As promised during the session, I'm posting the notes to this blog even though they may not make a great deal […]

What a great week! The highlight – and that's from a lot of great moments – was probably the AutoCAD + Kinect session: the demos were clearly fun to do, but there was a high degree of audience participation and we all laughed a lot. For those who weren't able to attend in person, I'm […]

Ah, the joys of jetlag. After getting up with jetlag at 3am, yesterday, I finally worked out what was wrong with my inconsistently performing speech recognition approach shown in this previous post. I tracked down this helpful piece of advice on the Microsoft forums, which explained that the Kinect Audio capability really needs to be […]

A quick one to end the week, as I really need to start packing for AU. 🙂 Thanks to Augusto Gonçalves, from DevTech Americas, for pointing out this DevNote on the ADN site in a recent email to an ADN member. The below code shows the steps to set the current visual style to "realistic" […]

This was a nice little solution I saw provided recently by Viru Aithal from DevTech India. It's a simple command to open a drawing and generate preview icons for each of the blocks it contains. It forces an icon to be generated – when it doesn't already exist – via Viru's old trick of using […]

Oh, what fun. Kinect's audio capabilities were an area that I hadn't spent any time on, but an email conversation with a developer (thanks, Glenn! 😉 spurred me to take a closer look. The Beta 2 version of the Microsoft Kinect SDK, there's a new sample showing how to process audio and add speech recognition […]

Yesterday evening, I had a nice chat by phone with a local development partner, here in Switzerland. I'm meeting with a member of his development team, next week, and we were establishing a way of us identifying one another at the train station. Rather than offering to wear a pink carnation, I suggested the visitor […]
