Thanks to all who provided input on this last post, where I asked for guidance on how best to design the command-line interface for the Screenshot application, the proposed Plugin of the Month for November. The current code is based largely on this previous post, but may end up being extended - in time - […]

I'm currently thinking about using the code from this previous post as a basis for November's Plugin of the Month. This simple AutoCAD application would provide three main capabilities: Take a screenshot of the entire AutoCAD application window Take a screenshot of the current drawing window Take a screenshot of a user-specified section of the […]

Following on from this recent post – and inspired by a question we received recently from a developer – I decided to extend the previous code to allow a user to select a portion of a drawing they would like to save to a file or place on the clipboard. This is actually a really […]

I received a comment on this previous post: Hi Kean, I tried to develop a routine based on this post but I found 2 things that I'd like to solve if possible. Your routine is just not usable for larger drawings (takes way to long). Also, your routine does not work properly in paper space. […]

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 […]

As mentioned in this previous post, where I gave the same treatment to IronPython, I've been trying to get display and explode overrules defined in IronRuby working properly in AutoCAD. IronRuby is still at version 0.3, so this effort has been hindered by a number of CLR interop bugs (it turns out). I finally managed […]

I've been meaning to get to this one for a while. This post takes the OPM .NET implementation and shows how to use it to allow modification of data persisted with an object: in this case we're going to use the XData in which we store the "pipe radius" for the AutoCAD 2010 overrule sample […]

To continue my investigations into IronPython and the fun I'm having with overrules, I decided to to port my most recent C# overrule implementation across to IronPython. I've also been trying to do the same for IronRuby, but – so far – without luck. Please refer back to one of the previous IronPython posts for […]

I am really starting to love the new Overrule API in AutoCAD 2010, and I still feel as though I'm just scratching the surface. This question came in overnight from Danny Polkinhorn (thanks, Danny! 🙂 : It's exciting to see a very usable implementation of 'custom' objects in .NET. Obviously, this implementation protects what could […]

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 […]
