AutoCAD .NET

As promised, today's post delivers a simple application that provides a user-interface for the command implemented in this previous post. I chose to implement the UI as a WPF user control which is then hosted by a standard AutoCAD palette. Aside from its core function – to allow composition of transformation matrices to be applied […]

As promised in the last post and based on the overwhelming feedback in the one before that, today we're starting a series on how to transform AutoCAD geometry. Before developing a fancy modeless GUI to make this really easy, we need a base command that can do the hard work. What's needed from our basic […]

I've arrived in Munich for our German DevDay + DevLab. There's lots of snow, but luckily I didn't get delayed: I was a touch paranoid after my trip to AU, and then having to fly two legs to get here. Therein lies a story: it's not usually needed to take two planes to get from […]

As many of you may now be aware, much of the content recorded at this year's Autodesk University is now available on the AU website. You'll find the recording of my AU Virtual session, "Getting to Know the AutoCAD® Plug-ins of the Month", as well as material from the two physical sessions I presented, "Point […]

As promised and reported on, and then announced by Scott on his blog, the QR Codes application for AutoCAD is now live on Autodesk Labs as December's Plugin of the Month. You may have seen my original implementation, but it's come a long way thanks to the efforts of Augusto Gonçalves, a member of DevTech […]

I was just easing back into post-AU work – dealing with my email backlog and thinking about possible blog posts for the week – when I received a very welcome email from Philippe Leefsma, a member of the DevTech team based in Prague. Philippe had a bit of time to spare during our annual DevDays […]

I've now checked in for my flight to Las Vegas – and, thanks to Jeremy Tammik's recent troubles, I luckily renewed my ESTA – so I'm pretty much all set for my trip to AU 2010, at least from a travel perspective. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that the gastric 'flu my kids seem […]

I'm heads-down in final preparation mode for AU 2010 and so won't post anything very detailed for the rest of the week, but I did just want to share a series of programming gems that I stumbled across the other day. James Michael Hare has published a great series entitled "C#/.NET Little Wonders": C#/.NET Five […]

Or perhaps the title should really be "why it's really a good idea to avoid misusing mutable state when using F# Asynchronous Workflows". Ultimately I wanted to share a brief (or not, we'll see), cautionary tale about the dangers of shared state when implementing concurrent tasks. I've been using F# for some time, and have […]

That has to be one of my favourite post titles, to-date: it'll be interesting to see how Twitterfeed handles it. 🙂 In this post we're going to combine the approaches from a couple of previous posts to place source code to generate associative, lofted surfaces on the clipboard, ready for pasting into a C# project.
