1 month, 14 days ago One of my favorite things about using AutoCAD is the ability to write and run scripts to help me do repetitive tasks quickly. A script is a series of commands (just like you type into the command line) that you can save in a text file and run on any drawing whenever you need it. Since it is saved in a text file, you can easily share it with colleagues who might need to use it. I have a library of scripts for repetitive tasks we do at work on a regular basis. Here is how to get started writing a script. read more...

3 months, 5 days ago "This is an addition to a time saver I posted awhile back to open Explorer from within AutoCAD to the folder where the drawing is saved.
This lisp can be altered direct users to a system resource folder where ever it may be. This one is going to a mapped drive where vendor equipment blocks may be located. The back slash means something in lisp. You will have to fool lisp by using a double backslash in the path you are directing users to. " read more...

5 months, 1 day ago The new Quick Properties functionality in AutoCAD 2009 enables you to view and modify object properties for selected objects. Now, if you’re like me, you’re thinking “How is this any different (or better) than the Properties window that we’ve had since AutoCAD 2000”? Well, it *is* similar, but you can customize Quick Properties so it only displays only the properties that you really care about. The simplified list makes it easier for you to locate the property you want to edit. read more...

5 months, 1 day ago The Layer Isolate feature has been around since at least the Bonus collection back in R14. In AutoCAD 2008 they kick it up a notch by adding a Settings feature whereby you can opt to either turn Off the layers you don’t select to isolate, or Lock them … which kicks in the new A2008 Fade control feature. read more...

8 months, 3 days ago In parts 1 & 2 of this series we looked at metaprogramming with AutoCAD using AutoLISP and VB(A), and then using VB.NET and C#.
In this post we're going to look at what's possible from F#, through the lens of my relative inexperience with the language, of course. read more...

8 months, 3 days ago In this post we're going to continue the topic started in Part 1 of this series, which looked briefly at metaprogramming with AutoCAD using AutoLISP and VB(A). Now we're going to look at .NET, focusing initially on C# and VB.NET.
[I found the inspiration for the code in this post from The Code Project, although I had to update the code to use non-deprecated CLR methods as well as making it work for AutoCAD, of course.]
While .NET doesn't provide something as simple as an Eval() function, it actually provides something much more interesting. The CLR exposes the ability to compile and execute source code in .NET languages for which implementations of the CodeDomProvider protocol have been provided. read more...

8 months, 4 days ago he new Visual Studio 2008 has been released, and to celebrate, I've updated VC Build Hook. The updated utility allows you to use the new IDE while still building with older versions of the build tools.
Why is this necessary? If you build your AutoCAD 2007/2008 ObjectARX application with the Visual C/C++ 9.0 tools, AutoCAD will display a warning message about an incompatible module when you try to load it. You can use VC Build Hook to target all previous AutoCAD versions from a single Visual Studio 2008 solution (if you have the correct version of Visual C/C++ installed alongside Visual Studio 2008). read more...

8 months, 4 days ago One of the new properties of Autocad 2008 is cutting the dimension lines crosswise. The technique that we used for the drawings do not fit onto a plot is included in Autocad 2008. As you know, I am used to enter the commands via keyboard. In fact, this speeds up the drawing. But new Autocad users prefers icon menu to draw. Thus I am giving the icon for the command first.
The command is DIMJOGLINE. Let us get busy with its function: read more...
