User interface

As promised, the code in this post extends that from the last post to add some user selection to the process of defining and placing a QR Code in an AutoCAD drawing. This version of the code also makes sure the raster is positioned in an "upright" orientation, irrespective of the order in which the […]

After I'd had such fun working out how to bring point clouds from Microsoft's Photosynth into AutoCAD, I was delighted when the Autodesk Labs team came to me with the suggestion of a comparable – although ultimately more useful – integration with the then-soon-to-be-released Project Photofly. The concept was simple: provide AutoCAD users with a […]

First we saw some simple code to create a pretty multi-line text object, then we saw some code to place it using a "drag jig", now we're going to launch AutoCAD's In-Place Editor (IPE) for MText once the object has been placed. To do this we're going to make use of the InplaceTextEditor object added […]

I didn't realise when I created the last post (with code borrowed from Fenton) that this would become a multi-part series – otherwise I'd clearly have called the earlier post "Part 1". 🙂 A comment from Harold Comerro requested information on getting more from the DST than was previously shown. Today's post extends the previous […]

A big thank you to Fenton Webb, from DevTech Americas, for providing the code which was the basis for this post. Thanks, Fents! 🙂 Fenton sent a version of this code recently to an ADN member who was interested in duplicating the information shown in AutoCAD's Sheet Set Manager inside a custom, palette-hosted tree-view dialog.

In the previous posts in this series we introduced a command that downloaded and imported point clouds from Photosynth.net, we introduced a WinForms user interface on top of it and then replaced that UI with one implemented using WPF. As threatened last time, we're now going to make some efficiency improvements in the original command […]

As alluded to in the last post in this series (ignoring a related post that dealt with user interface integration) I wasn't really happy with some of the tricks I needed in the WinForms version to try and make a coherent user interface for tracking accessed point clouds in a hosted Photosynth browsing session. This […]

I received this question from Vikas Hajela a few days ago: I am developing a plugin in C#, which will add a link in Quick Access Toolbar in AutoCAD. […] My problem is that I don't know how to add a link into existing Quick Access Toolbar and Menu Bar in AutoCAD using ObjectARX SDK […]

In the last post we looked at a command to allow importing of Photosynth point clouds into AutoCAD. In this post we'll put a GUI on the front end, to avoid people having to sniff network traffic to determine the location of the appropriate files on the Photosynth servers. The application is actually relative simple: […]

I feel like I'm posting a lot about our Plugin of the Month initiative, at the moment, but then I suppose it's to some degree a function of what I'm spending time on. It's definitely eating into the time I would normally focus on blogging… after a number of AU-related posts coming out over the […]
