In the last post, we looked at how to stop entities from being highlighted during selection. This post looks at how to stop entities from being selected at all. Thanks again to Balaji Ramamoorthy for providing the underlying technique shown in today's code. The basic scenario we're using is similar to the last post – […]

Thanks to Balaji Ramamoorthy, from DevTech India, for the basis of this post (some code he provided in a recent reply to an ADN member). The original question came from someone who wanted to stop text objects from being highlighted when selected. I've extended the mechanism to make it a little more flexible: it now […]

The plugins share a common translation and caching engine as well as a WPF graphical user interface for selecting languages. Here's a demonstration of […]

A quick update, today. Last week Jeremy posted a migrated version of the TransTips plug-in for AutoCAD, this time working inside Revit. Thanks to the shared use of AdWindows.dll in both products, this was actually really easy. After this initial version, it made sense to refactor the code to have a core, shared file (not […]

In addition to posting the transcripts, we've now posted recordings of the recent DevTV series on AutoCAD .NET for you to download and watch. You'll find them on the AutoCAD .NET Developer Center, under the Samples and Documentation section (see the image on the right, if you have trouble finding them). If you'd prefer to […]
