To start off my series of more in-depth looks at the new APIs provided in AutoCAD 2009, I decided to extend some recently posted F# code to generate and draw transient point clouds to be slightly less transient: we'll see how to use the new transient graphics API in AutoCAD to display a cache of […]

I've been taking some time this week to dive into some of the new APIs available in AutoCAD 2009. I'm going to post a very quick overview of the APIs available in this post, following up with a more in-depth look at some of the individual APIs in posts over the coming weeks. I've used […]

Over the last few years my team has been delivering more and more webcasts about the APIs to our various products. I'd strongly recommend checking the schedule on http://www.autodesk.com/apitraining from time to time, to see what's there. These webcasts are free to everyone, not just ADN members (although the ADN site does reference the various […]

This question has come in from a number of developers... How can I tell when my application is running inside a 64-bit version of AutoCAD? As mentioned in this previous post, AutoCAD 2008 installs as native 64-bit binaries on a supported 64-bit OS, just as 32-bit binaries get installed on a supported 32-bit OS. A […]

In the previous two posts we looked at the new ObjectARX samples and the new .NET samples available for AutoCAD 2008. AutoCAD 2008 also exposes a number of new APIs (and enhancements to old ones) for which we don't have new SDK samples. Take a look of the 'Migration Guide for Applications' for a comprehensive […]

We've been talking to ADN members (under non-disclosure agreements) for a number of months about the 2008 family of Autodesk products, and with these products officially announced I can now talk more publicly about their features and APIs. This week I'll focus on AutoCAD, but I plan to describe the new feature-/API-sets of other Autodesk […]

This is an interesting topic – and one that I'm far from being expert in – so it would be great if readers could submit comments with additional information. Intellectual property protection is a major concern for software developers, and issues that are seen today with .NET languages have been troubling AutoCAD developers since the […]
