This post finally takes the code last shown in this previous post, migrating it to use RealDWG to update a folder of DWGs without the need for AutoCAD to be installed on the system. A big thanks to Adam Nagy, a member of DevTech working from our Prague office, who turned around my request to […]

This post was almost called "Generating Koch fractals in AutoCAD using .NET - Part 3", following on from Parts 1 & 2 of the series. But by the time I'd completed the code, I realised it to be of more general appeal and decided to provide it with a more representative title. I started off […]

As promised in this earlier post, here's the recording of the "Custom Objects Masterclass" session held on July 12. The next in the series, "Creating an Installer", is scheduled for Thursday August 16. You can go here to register (like all in this series, this session is free for all to attend).

This post continues on from the last one, which introduced some code that creates "Koch curves" inside AutoCAD. Not in itself something you'll want to do to your drawings, but the techniques shown may well prove helpful for your applications. Last time we implemented support for Lines and Arcs - in this post we extend […]

I'm currently waiting to get my RealDWG license through, so I'll interrupt the previous series on side databases to focus on something a little different. I'll get back to it, in due course, I promise. 🙂 A long time ago, back during my first few years at Autodesk (which logically must have been some time […]

In the last post we looked at some code to search the current drawing for a particular attribute and update its value. In this post - as promised - we're going to look at how to extend this application to work on a folder of drawings, updating those that contain the attribute and saving them […]

This suggestion came up in reference to this previous post about using side databases. The request is to be able to open a number of DWG files and modify a particular attribute, saving the files back. Rather than jumping in and solving both problems in one post, we'll start today with the problem of updating […]

This topic was briefly introduced almost a year ago, in this post. I then looked into the code a little further in a follow-up post. But at the time this topic wasn't the main thrust of the post, it was really more of an implementation detail. So now it's time to do the topic a […]

After a brief interlude we're back on the series of posts showing how to implement basic user-interfaces inside AutoCAD using .NET. Here's the series so far: Using a modal .NET dialog to display AutoCAD object properties Using a modeless .NET dialog to display AutoCAD object properties Using a modeless .NET dialog to display properties of […]

Thanks to Wolfgang Ruthensteiner for suggesting this excellent topic a comment to this previous post. Here's Wonfgang's question: How do I read back the field code with C# (from an attribute e.g.)? I am linking room-label blocks with polylines, using fields inside an attribute to display the polyline's area property. Later I want to find […]
