This week I've spent quite a bit of time looking into future API features. For one of them I needed to create a progress meter, and thought to myself "why not create one in HTML5?" And as it's nothing specific to a future product release, I decided to go ahead and post it now. For […]

I received this request from Mateusz Andrzejczak, over the weekend: I have problem with LineTypeDialog. Your part of the code is working perfectly, but i have problem with modifying the values. I have a SelectionSet that holds all object that are selected with using a filter. I want to use LineTypeDialog to select linetype and […]

It seems like I've been living in JavaScript land (and no, I deliberately didn't say "hell" – it's actually been fun 🙂 for the last few weeks, between one thing or another. But I think I've finally put the finishing touches on the last of the JavaScript API samples I've prepared for AU 2014. This […]

One of the pieces of feedback I received from internal folk on the prototype VR app I developed for Google Cardboard and then added voice recognition to was "it'd be really cool to add ViewCube-like navigation commands". Which basically meant adding "front", "back", "left", "right", "top" & "bottom" to the list of voice commands recognised […]

I nearly named this post "Creating a stereoscopic viewer for Google Cardboard using the Autodesk 360 viewer – Part 4", leading on from the series introduction and then parts 1, 2 & 3. But then I decided this topic deserved it's very own title. 🙂 The seed for this post was sown during the VR […]

The title of this one is a little specific – the post actually deals with the scenario of passing data from .NET to an HTML-defined palette, as well as some other tips & tricks – but it's something I wanted to show. Here's the basic idea: whenever a closed curve gets added to the drawing, […]

After introducing the series and looking at sample applications for 2D graphics using Paper.js and 2.5D graphics using Isomer, it's now really time to go 3D. We're going to use much of the same code we saw in the last post – with some simplification as we no longer need to sort the solids by […]

Having introduced this series, it's time to look at some code. This first sample shows how to create and host a web-page that uses an external graphics library – in our case Paper.js – within an AutoCAD application. The main "trick" to this is going to be getting the data from the HTML page into […]

A few people expressed an interest in understanding how AutoCAD 2015's ability to open HTML pages inside its frame – shown in this recent post – could be extended to work with "native" user interfaces. This post shows how that can be done using WPF – the other supported mechanism for adding new documents to […]

The "call for proposals" for AU2014 is going out on April 23rd and will remain open for about a month. This is approaching quickly, so get your thinking hats on if you're considering submitting a class proposal. From my side I'm thinking about a few possible topics: Implementing a tangible user interface for AutoCAD using […]
