Thanks, once again, to Philippe Leefsma, a DevTech engineer based in Prague, for contributing the code for this post. While researching an issue he was working on Philippe stumbled across a comment on this previous post where I more-or-less said jigging attributes wasn't possible. Ahem. Anyway, Philippe decided to – quite rightly – prove me […]

In the last post we looked at the code behind an ObjectARX module exposing AutoCAD's Properties Palette for use from managed .NET languages. Thanks again to Cyrille Fauvel for providing this implementation. In this post we're going to move right onto using this implementation from C#. First things first: if you didn't understand much of […]

A huge thanks to Cyrille Fauvel, who manages DevTech's Media & Entertainment team but still finds the time to dip into the odd deeply-technical, AutoCAD-related issue. Cyrille provided the original article on this topic late last year, but it's taken me time to get around to editing and publishing it. A quick tip... if you're […]

In the last post we looked at some code that essentially dumped out the dynamic properties of dynamic blocks to the command-line. In this post we take it a step further and capture the properties from one dynamic block reference and attempt to apply them to another. We're going to apply slightly different logic, depending […]

This is one of those funny scenarios... I was just thinking about what to do for my next post - whether to dive into some new features of AutoCAD 2010 (which I will do soon, I promise! 🙂 or whether to choose something from my ever-increasing to-do list, when I received two emails. One was […]

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 - […]

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 […]
