Autodesk Design Review

[#1]

Using AutoDesk's API's requires using C++ and MFC. I've observed that C# and the .NET Framework can now be used to develop Envision solutions. I hope this represents a trend to enable AutoDesk products to be used with contemporary development languages and tools and wonder what other good news C# developers can look forward to -- especially with regard to Composer and other AutoDesk products that need to be integrated with other business processes. -- <%= Clinton Gallagher A/E/C Consulting, Web Design, e-Commerce Software Development Wauwatosa, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin USA NET csgallagher@REMOVETHISTEXTmetromilwaukee.com URL http://www.metromilwaukee.com/clintongallagher/

I don't know about the DWF Composer specifically, but there is definitely a trend of providing .NET API's for Autodesk products. I, like you, sure hope that trend continues into all of their products. -- Bobby C.

Make that 3.

Actually makes 4 now. As an IT person, not an AutoCAD user, I need to integrate AutoCAD products into the business. We are strictly .NET and I find it quite strange that Autodesk have not opened up more to business integrators. Maybe Autodesk would feel more comfortable with a different licensing model for this approach.
