In the last post we looked at some code that attaches additional data to individual entities, allowing them to be drawn independently with different visual properties via the new Overrule API in AutoCAD 2010. A couple of comments – one from Qun, who provided the original F# sample, and one from Tony Tanzillo – have […]

In the last post we looked at some C# code to customize the display of all Lines and Circles within AutoCAD, adding a thickness (or a diameter) to make them look more like pipes. This was, in turn, based on this F# post. The previous code implemented an overrule that allowed us to insert our […]

The code in this post is a direct port of the F# code in this previous post, which was entered by Qun Lu in the recent F# programming contest. Someone – very validly - commented on the fact the post involved both a new language and a new API, which was probably pushing things a little from […]

In the last post I introduced a very simple "Hello World!" IronRuby application working with AutoCAD, just as I'd previously done with IronPython. My idea for this post was to take the code from my second IronPython post – which showed how to jig an AutoCAD solid from IronPython – and get it working with […]

[I've now started pushing links to my posts out through Twitter, even if I haven't gone quite so far as to abandon TypePad (yes, it was an April Fools' joke, in case anyone missed the closing comment :-)]. Having spent some time looking into Python, I decided to give Ruby – another popular scripting language […]

The recordings from our recent DevDays Online events, covering API-related information about much of the 2010 family of products, are now available: AutoCAD download (27.3 Mb) AEC download (47.5 Mb) Geospatial download (14.6 Mb) Manufacturing download (27.0 Mb) Civil 3D download (14.2 Mb) Enjoy! 🙂

This post is one of the winning entries of the F# programming contest started at the beginning of the year. It was submitted by an old friend of mine, Qun Lu, who also happens to be a member of the AutoCAD engineering team, and makes use of a new API in AutoCAD 2010: the somewhat […]

A big thanks to Stephen Preston, who manages DevTech Americas and coordinates our worldwide AutoCAD workgroup as well as spending time working with the AutoCAD Engineering team (phew!), for providing this sample. Stephen originally put it together for our annual Developer Days tour late last year: I took the original sample, converted it from VB.NET […]

After getting my feet wet in the last post with my first IronPython application running inside AutoCAD, I decided it was time to attack a slightly more challenging problem: jigging a database-resident Solid3d object. The idea had come after I'd received a question by email from David Wolfe, who wanted to have a fully rendered […]

I've been meaning to play around with the Python language for some time, now, and with the recent release of IronPython 2 it seems a good time to start. Why Python? A number of people in my team – including Jeremy Tammik and the people within our Media & Entertainment workgroup who support Python's use […]
