Geo-location

In the last post we looked at using VASA from within Dynamo for FormIt to solve mazes generated by a cool plugin created by Brett from the FormIt team. The Dynamo graph we saw used VASA in "3D mode" – where the voxel height is higher than 1 – but that came with the added […]

I hadn't planned on writing a third part to this series, but then Mads Paulin – who I mentioned in the last post – got back to me with some information that's really worth sharing. I'd pinged Mads while looking for a way to list the available coordinate systems to the user (another question from […]

In yesterday's post we saw a simple implementation of two commands to translate between geographical locations (latitude-longitude values) and drawing points inside AutoCAD. In this post we're extending that to access the current coordinate system, as returned by the GeoLocation object attached to the current drawing. Which in some ways should be simple, but then […]

I received a question from Coralie Jacobi, recently, in response to this recent post: Saw your post a while ago on the geolocation in 2015. This functionality is something that we will use a great deal and I will definitely be writing some code to utilize it. What I'd like to see in your blog […]

In this recent post we saw how to set our geographic location inside an AutoCAD drawing – essentially geo-referencing the model it contains – programmatically. In today's post we're going to capture a section of the displayed map and embed it inside the drawing, much as the GEOMAPIMAGE command does. In fact, we're going to […]

I've been getting very interested in the field of autonomous robot navigation, of late. I own a couple of different robots: while I haven't quite gotten around to buying a robotic vacuum cleaner, I've had an autonomous lawn mower for several years, now, and bought a simple LEGO-carrying programmable robot for my kids for Christmas.

AutoCAD's geo-location API is a topic I've been meaning (and even promising) to cover for some time now. So here we are. 🙂 The below code sample is based on one shown at ADN's DevDays tour at the end of 2013 – for the AutoCAD 2014 release – but the API ended up not being […]
