In this previous post we looked at some code to capture and combine a series of point clouds using a Kinect sensor. In today's post we're going to take a very slightly modified version of the code – which really only adds the feature to let the user choose when the sequence of captures should […]

I suspect that many of you who have worked with point clouds will have come across this issue: the standard CIRCLE command in AutoCAD will create the circle on the plane of the active User Coordinate System (UCS), even when the circle is defined by three points on its circumference. This behaviour is probably fine […]

It's Friday, which means it's time for the next installment of Wayne Brill's AutoCAD .NET training DevTV series (as mentioned in last Friday's post). Today's session is focused on user interaction and user input. This series of DevTV sessions is a companion for the new AutoCAD .NET training material available from the AutoCAD .NET Developer […]

Over the weekend, I had more fun exploring the use of Kinect with AutoCAD. It was prompted by an email I had from a UK-based creative team who are interested in the potential of capturing time-lapse point clouds using Kinect. They were curious whether the quality of data coming from the Kinect device would be […]

Wayne Brill, a member of the DevTech Americas team, has been beavering away on a new set of training material for AutoCAD .NET. This material is now live on the AutoCAD Developer Center (the image on the right should help you locate the link). This new material contains information on the following topics: Overview of […]

Thanks to Marat Mirgaleev, a member of our DevTech team based in Moscow, for the code that inspired this post. The code in this post implements the simple case of taking the last two rows of one table and copying them into the same relative position in another table. If the destination table is smaller, […]

As promised, last week, today we're going to look at a technique pointed out to me by Viru Aithal for calling unexposed ObjectARX member functions via P/Invoke. It sometimes happens that ObjectARX (unmanaged C++) methods fail to get exposed immediately via .NET, which is currently the case for MLeader.Scale (both getting and setting this property). […]

I've improved the basic implementation in this previous post pretty significantly over the last week: New ability to draw multiple polylines Added a gesture of lowering/raising the left hand to start/finish drawing with the right Addition of a transient sphere as a 3D cursor for polyline drawing Quick flash of a transient skeleton (arms and […]

As promised in this previous post, I've been playing around with understanding Kinect gestures inside AutoCAD. My first step – after upgrading the OpenNI modules and drivers to more recent versions, which always seems time-consuming, for some reason – was to work out how to get gesture information via nKinect. It turned out to be […]

Now things are getting interesting. 🙂 It took me some effort to get this working, but looking at the results I think it was worth it. As mentioned in the last post, I've been trying to get a live feed from the Kinect sensor to display dynamically inside AutoCAD. This post shows how to do […]
