In the previous posts in this series we introduced a command that downloaded and imported point clouds from Photosynth.net, we introduced a WinForms user interface on top of it and then replaced that UI with one implemented using WPF. As threatened last time, we're now going to make some efficiency improvements in the original command […]

The recording of the previously announced "AutoCAD 2011 New APIs" webcast held on April 13th, 2010 is now available for download (19.8MB). We've also completed a much-needed restructuring of our online session information. Links to downloads of previously recorded sessions were available via our API training schedule (also available from http://autodesk.com/apitraining –> Schedule). They have […]

This question has popped up a few times since Visual Studio 2010's recent launch. I received it by email overnight from Roland Cox, which is interesting as I'd already planned this post for today. Do you know how to debug AutoCAD and a custom add in using Visual Studio 2010? What settings do I need […]

As alluded to in the last post in this series (ignoring a related post that dealt with user interface integration) I wasn't really happy with some of the tricks I needed in the WinForms version to try and make a coherent user interface for tracking accessed point clouds in a hosted Photosynth browsing session. This […]

To help people who don't master English with their efforts to migrate their code from VBA to VB.NET, my team has been busy translating our existing AutoCAD VBA to VB.NET Migration Basics DevTV session into other languages. Here are the languages we have, so far (including an updated English version): English view download (44.7 MB) […]

Yes, I know, I know – we're halfway through the month, already. This plugin has been live on Autodesk Labs since the beginning of the month, but I've been a little distracted by April Fools' jokes, fooling around with Photosynth point clouds as well as finishing up some internal activities which always tend to take […]

I received this question from Vikas Hajela a few days ago: I am developing a plugin in C#, which will add a link in Quick Access Toolbar in AutoCAD. […] My problem is that I don't know how to add a link into existing Quick Access Toolbar and Menu Bar in AutoCAD using ObjectARX SDK […]

In the last post we looked at a command to allow importing of Photosynth point clouds into AutoCAD. In this post we'll put a GUI on the front end, to avoid people having to sniff network traffic to determine the location of the appropriate files on the Photosynth servers. The application is actually relative simple: […]

For some background into what this series is all about, see this previous post. I've been tracking Photosynth for some time, but only recently became aware of its use of point-clouds on the back-end and the possibility of extracting this information from the site. I first got inspired by Binary Millenium's video of the process […]

As you're by now probably aware, the 2011 family of our products is now shipping. I'll have lots to say on AutoCAD 2011's new API features over the coming weeks/months, but for now here's a quick post on the items from the most recent API Wishlist Survey that we delivered in this release (the items […]
