Over the last few years my team has been delivering more and more webcasts about the APIs to our various products. I'd strongly recommend checking the schedule on http://www.autodesk.com/apitraining from time to time, to see what's there. These webcasts are free to everyone, not just ADN members (although the ADN site does reference the various […]

After a few comments on this previous post I decided that, rather than rushing on to show palettes, I'd first extend the existing code to work with multiple entities and provide specific support for solids. Here are the main changes to the way the code works: Changes to the Commands class The form object is […]

So, back in the saddle after an eventful week off, back in the UK. Aside from the extremely changeable weather (even by British standards) and the heightened security at UK airports, the week went swimmingly... 🙂 It's now Friday night, and disappointingly I've spent nearly two days regaining control of my inbox. I really wanted […]

In this previous post we looked at creating a simple modal dialog and using it to display object properties. This post looks at the structural changes you need to make to your application for the same dialog to be used modelessly. In a later post we'll look at the benefits you get from leveraging the […]

In the last post we looked at some code to create a table of attribute values for a particular block. In this post we'll extend that code and show how to use a formula to create a total of those values. Below is the C# code. I've numbered the lines, and those in red are […]

This post was inspired by suggestions from a few different people (you know who you are! :-). I'm going to take it in two parts: this post will focus on creating a table automatically that lists the values of attribute references included in block references in the modelspace that point to a particular block table […]

This post is in response to a few requests I've received to show how to embed fields in tables. It follows on from this previous post, where we looked at how to embed a block preview icon in a table. The technique I'm showing in this post is far from being specific to tables, however. […]

Further to the previous post showing the creation of a simple table, this shows how to add a column that contains a preview image of a particular block definition. I had to modify the code somewhat to open the block table sooner than we did before (I tend not to leave it open for longer […]

This suggestion came in a few weeks ago from Kélcyo Pereira, and I've borrowed some code from Sreekar Devatha, from DevTech India, to help implement the suggestion. The following C# code creates a very simple table and inserts it at the position selected by the user. The table is really very simply - a 5 […]
