After using the Microsoft Kinect SDK to bring point clouds into AutoCAD and then to track skeleton information, I'm happy to report that I now have an equivalent implementation of this previous post, where we used OpenNI and NITE to understand gestures captured by the Kinect and draw 3D polylines inside AutoCAD. This implementation is […]

This very interesting feature came to my attention via an internal discussion. Thanks, once again, to George Varghese for providing the base sample used for this post. At various times inside AutoCAD – such as when a block is selected, for instance – a specific ribbon tab is displayed "contextually". As an example, when you […]

I stumbled across this wishlist request on the forums, the other day, and thought it worth covering in a blog post. It's an interesting little piece of code – nothing very startling, but obviously whenever removing data you have to be a bit careful: in fact I would probably add an "are you sure?" question […]

To follow on from my post showing how to get point cloud information from Kinect into AutoCAD – using Microsoft's official SDK – this post looks at getting skeleton information inside AutoCAD. The code in today's post extends the last – although I won't go ahead and denote the specific lines that have changed – […]

Just a quick update to let you know that – as a result of the steps we took to prepare and submit the application for consideration – TransTips is now live on the Apps tab of Autodesk Exchange, which means it can now be loaded more easily into AutoCAD 2012: This application was first posted […]

As mentioned, last week, I've been working away to port my previous OpenNI/NITE AutoCAD-Kinect integration across to the official (although still in Beta) Microsoft Kinect SDK. Today's post presents a very basic implementation – essentially equivalent to the code in this previous post – which makes use of the Microsoft Kinect SDK to bring a […]

Stephen Preston sent me an update to his minesweeper application, some time ago, and it's been languishing in my inbox until today. Stephen has spent some time polishing the app, adding a more coherent architecture (or so he tells me). As I'm busy beavering away with the Kinect SDK, I thought I'd go ahead and […]

Given the fact AU 2011 is quickly approaching, I decided it was time to dust off my Kinect-related code and getting it working with the Beta SDK from Microsoft Research. Part of the reason I haven't been able to do this sooner is that my primary work machine is currently a MacBook Pro running Windows […]

In the last post, we saw a great little sample for adding a textbox to AutoCAD's ribbon which notifies your application of the "commands" entered into it (however you choose to interpret them in your code). In this post, we'll take that further and have that textbox expand vertically as text gets entered, wrapping the […]

This is a really cool little sample put together by Philippe Leefsma, from our DevTech team in Europe, with the help of George Varghese from the AutoCAD Engineering team. Thanks, Philippe and George! 🙂 This question came up, recently: an ADN member wanted to be able to add an editable textbox to the ribbon inside […]
