Back in these previous posts, we introduced an ObjectARX module that exposed AutoCAD's Property Palette to .NET (thanks again to Cyrille Fauvel for his work on this :-). In this post we're going to build on this work to demonstrate how to integrate properties with more advanced editing controls into the Property Palette. [Note: this […]

As promised in this previous post, we're now going to an update to Zeljko's triangulation code which creates Solid3d objects with a user-specified depth from our SubDMesh. Here's the C# code with the new/modified lines in red (here is the .cs source file). I've modified the code to reformat it and to provide the various […]

As mentioned in this previous post, Fenton Webb is presenting a two-part series on using the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) in your AutoCAD .NET applications. The first session on June 2nd was recorded and the second is to be held next week on July 14th. You can register for upcoming webcasts - and access recordings […]

I'm just settling in after a week of very enjoyable paternity leave (thanks to all of you for your congratulatory messages :-). I have a few topics planned for the next few weeks, but in the meantime I'm going to post some code provided by our old friend Zeljko Gjuranic as a follow-up to this […]

In this recent post we looked at an approach combining AutoLISP with a script generated on-the-fly to get around the fact that (command "_.OPEN" …) does nothing when SDI == 0. As mentioned in a comment in the post, I realised that the approach of using a single master script to do this is more […]

As mentioned in this previous post, there has been some discussion internally around the future of SDI. Given the change this will bring to applications, SDI is going to be around until we next deliberately choose to break binary application compatibility (something we just did with AutoCAD 2010 and typically try to do only every […]

Some of you may remember a philosophical question I raised in a post some time ago. The overall consensus of the feedback we received was to prioritise delivering code samples (given a choice between code samples and wizard-like code-generation tools). Which we are doing, both via the ADN site and our developer blogs… but that […]

This is a nice sample provided by Stephen Preston, who manages DevTech's Americas team. Stephen has put this together in anticipation of his upcoming AU class on the overrule API introduced in AutoCAD 2010. [I know the final class list has not yet been announced, but Stephen is co-owner of the Customization & Programming track […]

Stephen Preston has updated his "AutoCAD VBA to .NET Migration Basics" DevTV session. I've updated the links in this previous post to point to the updated DevTV, as the original recording is likely to disappear during the coming days. Here's an update from Stephen on what's new in this version: New features of the migration […]

While I was preparing this recent post I put together a simple project which registered localized names for commands, to make sure they were picked up and used to create the appropriate demand-loading Registry keys. It was a little tricky to do this from the current documentation, so thankfully I had access to this DevNote […]
