Basic Autocad Tutorial
Here is you tube series which could help in getting started with Autocad
Create new layer filter
This video explains how to create Layer property filters and layer Group filters for Autocad. nano cad should be same. My nanocad Lic is not yet installed. Using layer filters is a great help to manage your cad files. Using layers p roperly increases your productivity many folds
Setting dimensions style using a template cad file
You can download the template cad file by clicking this link late dim.dwg fileDIM . It is zipped file only because wordpress does not allow me to upload a .dwg file
Jigging with SHIFT, CTRL and Mouse Wheel Functionality (AutoCAD .net API)
Any AutoCAD programmer knows that things which an algorithm may take a million years and infinite computational power to do can sometimes be easily done by a human being instantly. In the same way it is sometimes much easier to give a human being the ability to choose: then you can get an optimum result […]
On Line Equality (AutoCAD .net API)
What is the difference between Freezing a layer vs Turning it off? (AutoCAD tips)
A tyro to AutoCAD will immediately notice that he or she has two options available to him – both of which ostensibly render similar results: freezing a layer and turning it off. But what is the real difference? When you turn a layer off, it is still loaded into memory. AutoCAD is keeping track of […]
Speed Up Working in DWG files with Partial Open
Suppose your .dwg file has hundreds of thousands of entities all over the place – but you don’t want to see all of them at once – or load all of their geometries. This is especially the case when dealing with Bubble Deck layouts. You can only open the things that you need via […]
Where did the AutoCAD File Dialog User Interface Go – How to Return it back to normal after using AcCoreConsole? (AutoCAD)
What Happened? No Dialog Box UI in AutoCAD? So I’ve just managed to run AcCoreConsole – some script. And it’s changed some settings. And now when I open regular AutoCAD, when I type in netload – it seems that I’ve lost the ability to open/select things using the user interface. Now I have to manually […]
Demo – Create Revit Panels Directly From AutoCAD Panels (Precast)
This is a demo of my latest plug-in which demonstrates a proof of concept – i.e. a MVP (Minimum Viable Product). The programming was a little trickier than normal – because we are not using the .NET API, but the COM Interop API and the Revit API – something which I have not really explored […]
Comparing Lines – IEqualityComparer (AutoCAD .net)
It’s not very often that I write something on the Autocad .net API, so here’s something which you, I suppose, will need one day: If you want to compare two lines, with a tolerance, in a collection then you’d need a LineComparer. The MSDN guide says that one should inherit from EqualityComparer, so unquestioningly, […]
