I've been heads-down wrapping up my AU content, so I thought I'd publish at least some of it here. Here's the handout for my "AU kick-off" class which is at 8am on the first day of the conference – the morning after the ADN party – so despite the fact the class is currently full, […]

The AutoCAD I/O team has deployed version 2 of their API. For specific information on what's new, check this page. As I'll be talking about AutoCAD I/O at AU 2015, I thought it important to get to grips with the new version and understand how it differs from v1. I went ahead and updated […]

Members of the Autodesk Developer Network have started receiving information on how to register for the upcoming series of DevDays being held around the world. Thanks largely to the positive experience of running Cloud Accelerators in different locations, the ADN team has shifted their thinking for this year's tour: rather than visiting 15+ cities around […]

We're about halfway through the first Cloud Accelerator Extension being held in the incredible city of Prague. The entire European ADN team is in town – so a great chance to catch up with old friends such as Jeremy, Adam, Philippe, Cyrille and Peter – along with cloud-focused developers from Norway, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands, […]

I'll be in Prague – with Adam Nagy from the ADN team – on Tuesday of next week (from 6 to 9pm on September 8, 2015) to talk to people about Autodesk's horizontal PaaS offerings, notably the AutoCAD I/O and View & Data web services. If you happen to be in the area and are […]

After building a web-site to create files that help make laser-cuttable jigsaws, it made sense to actually go ahead and cut some. In the flesh, so to speak. My initial findings weren't good: I'd assumed that I could output 2D solids from AutoCAD – each representing a pixel to be engraved on the jigsaw – […]

I mentioned recently that I'd hit a limitation with the amount of data that could be passed as embedded JSON data to an AutoCAD I/O Activity, and so decided to rearchitect my site to post the data at a URL and have the Activity download and use the data from there. The system worked well […]

After the last post, where we looked at the first couple of architecture iterations for Jigsawify.com, it's time to summarise (and perhaps even wrap-up) this series… Here are the posts so far: Puzzling over laser cutters AutoCAD I/O and custom applications Finishing up our laser-cut jigsaw project Running custom .NET code in the cloud using […]

As mentioned in this recent post, I've been working on my AutoCAD I/O-driven web-site on and off for the last few weeks. Lately I've had to think beyond certain assumptions I'd made about its architecture, and I thought it worth sharing those thoughts here. The intention of the site is that you upload an image […]

I've been working with AutoCAD I/O quite heavily over the last week or two – mainly spending time fleshing out my Jigsawify web application well in advance of AU2015 – and came across this helpful trick for visualizing an OData-based REST API graphically: you can copy and paste the XML schema for the AutoCAD I/O […]
