Overrules
-
Thanks to Stephen Preston for providing the prototype that I extended for this post. He put it together in response to a suggestion for a new Plugin of the Month from Shaan Hurley, who thought a "dimension finder" tool for locating overridden dimension text would be useful for people. This code may well develop into […]

In the most recent part of this series, we looked at one possible mechanism to allow points to be moved along a network of curves, extending the first part in this series, which focused on the case of a point on a single curve. This post is going to focus on something slightly different: it's […]

In the last post we looked at some code to create a point on a curve, and make sure it stays on that curve when edited. In this post we're extending that code (albeit slightly) to work with a network of curves: the idea is that any curve which has a point created on it […]

Over the weekend I put together a little prototype to prove a concept for an internal project I'm working on. The idea was to force a point onto a curve (meaning anything inheriting from Curve in AutoCAD, such as Arc, Circle, Ellipse, Leader, Line, Polyline, Polyline2d, Polyline3d, Ray, Spline, Xline…), so that when the point […]

Thanks to Stephen Preston, who manages our DevTech Americas team, for donating the samples from his upcoming AU class for posting on this blog. Let's start the week with a nice simple sample: the first from Stephen's AU class. Looking back even to the first C# overrule sample I posted here, I can see that […]

This week I will mostly be posting about Overrules. [For those of you who haven't seen The Fast Show (called Brilliant in the US), this is an obscure reference to a character named Jesse. :-)] Aside from this post, Stephen Preston has sent me the samples he's put together for his AU class on this […]

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 […]

I might also have called this post "Overruling AutoCAD 2010's entity display and explode using Boo", as it complements the equivalent posts for C#, F#, IronPython and IronRuby, but I felt it appropriate to combine the post with an introduction to what Boo is all about. What is Boo and how did I come to […]

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 […]
