Thanks again to Fenton Webb for providing the code behind the first post in the series and to Jeremy Tammik for providing the suggestion of this alternative implementation. This post follows on from this previous post, which introduced a technique to smoothly transition between 3D views in AutoCAD. It applies a more standard algorithm - […]

As many of you are probably aware, my team (DevTech) is involved in a number of activities around the APIs to Autodesk products: we talk about them at conferences and seminars (what we tend to call "evangelism"), we provide API training, support & consulting, and we also develop content to publish via blogs and the […]

This inspiration for this post came during the research for this previous post, where we looked at implementing LookAt inside AutoCAD. It also has roots in the need to perform smooth transitions when zooming inside AutoCAD, which the ZOOM command manages for transitions between 2D views. Fenton Webb, from our DevTech Americas team, kindly volunteered […]

This question came up recently on the AutoCAD .NET Discussion Group: how to create a Solid3d object which provides the user with the full set of grips to manipulate it (which I've abbreviated to "editable" in the title of this post :-). This comes down to a enhancements that were made in AutoCAD 2007 to […]

This is the second post in the series looking at the new APIs in AutoCAD 2010, and following on from this post. I've copied the information in this post from the recently-published Platform Technologies Customization Newsletter, a quarterly newsletter available to ADN members. A big thank you to Stephen Preston, Fenton Webb and Gopinath Taget […]

This post looks at the basic steps required to prepare your application to work with AutoCAD 2010. I've copied the information from the recently-published Platform Technologies Customization Newsletter, a quarterly newsletter available to ADN members. A big thank you to Stephen Preston, Fenton Webb and Gopinath Taget for putting the material together. AutoCAD 2010 software […]

As promised in the last post, we're now going to look at how to change the code to make the colour averaging routine work in parallel. The overall performance is marginally better on my dual-core machine, but I fully expect it to get quicker and quicker as the number of cores multiply. To start with, […]

A friend and esteemed colleague asked - very validly - why I decided to use circles on a grid to display the results of a mathematical function in this last post, rather than using a linear object of some kind. Well I did, in fact, have a plan in mind... 🙂 This post extends the […]

Well, I couldn't resist... as I mentioned in the last post - where we looked at creating a simple graph inside AutoCAD as an example of modifying objects inside nested transactions - the idea of graphing inside AutoCAD is a good fit for F#. This is for a number of reasons: F# is very mathematical […]
