Sometimes I receive a question which makes me think "I must have posted something that shows that by now, surely?" and yet I can't find it. So please accept my apologies if this post is redundant and I'm just repeating myself. 🙂 Here's the question that had me thinking: I don't know how may I […]

We have a number of candidate "Plugins of the Month" currently in the pipeline – including Inventor versions of Screenshot and Clipboard Manager as well as a tool to streamline batch plotting from AutoCAD – but unfortunately none were looking ready enough to count on for January's posting. So yesterday I dipped into the plugins […]

Thanks to Philippe Leefsma, from DevTech in Europe, for the ObjectARX code that inspired this post. In AutoCAD it's possible to create non-rectangular viewports in paperspace using a variety of closed curve objects: circles, polylines (2D, 3D and lightweight), ellipses, regions, splines and faces. In this post we're going to see some code that creates […]

This post was heavily inspired by the code presented by my old friend Albert Szilvasy during his excellent AU class on using .NET 4.0 with AutoCAD. Albert took a different approach to the one I've previously adopted (which turns out also to have been suggested by Albert, when I look back at my original post), […]

I've now crossed the international date line (giving up a big portion of my weekend, but that's life) and landed in Tokyo. Tomorrow I head on to Seoul and then to Beijing for the end of the week. In many ways a change of pace from the week in Vegas, but in other ways it's […]

If you're curious about the AU Virtual experience (perhaps you've signed up and are wondering what it's going to be like, perhaps you're thinking about signing up but would like to know what you're getting into, or perhaps you have no intention whatsoever of signing up but just want to know what 13,000+ other people […]

This is something I've been meaning to attempt for a while, and have finally been spurred to do it by next week's AU Virtual session on F#. Not that I expect to have time to present this during the session (60 minutes is already feeling way too short for the material I want to cover), […]

A comment on the code posted in the last post regarding the upcoming Plugin of the Month for the month of December, Layer Reporter, gave me some pause for thought. Tony Tanzillo suggested that making more complete use of the StringBuilder object – rather than direct string concatenation using "&" – would improve the performance […]
