write a C++ program and do an ARX

[Anonymous]

Can anyone help me to anderstand how can I write e C++ program and do an

arx.

I use autolisp from 12 year and I have many routine very helpfull for my job

but I will do something mor complex.

Are theese steps correct?

1- I write the C++ code with an compiler (wich is better?)

2- I compile an arx (is any compiler helpfull?)

3- I load my new function in autocad (how can I call this new function by

autolisp?)

Thank you

Davide,

To write an arx application, you must have microsoft visual C++ version 6.
The standard edition will work fine. Once you get the compiler, go to
autodesk's web site and download the ObjectARX API for the version of
AutoCAD you are trying to program. There are help files and tutorials in
there that should get you started.

Hope this helps.

And there's a Wizard that will build a skeleton of your application. And it
brings a new tollbar into your VC. With this toolbar you will be able to add
new commands to your application with just one click. All you need is write
your code in functions.

Good luck!
