Complex Entity

If this question was asked previously .... apologies.

I want to create a custom entity for use in AutoCAD (see the attached
sketch).
As you can see it consist of lines and arcs.
This is one of the shapes I want to create . There's more. basically they
all the same idea , just different shape.

I want this entity to have unique properties
diameter , dimensions , color , shape code , layer , coordinates , angle ,
linestyle etc.

I currently have objectarx 2007 with vb,vc,c# express 2005 versions.

1.Is this possible?
2.Which language to use?.
3. How do I approach this?

Thanks in advance.

Ahh.
A reinforcement bar. I made a big app drawing thoose a couple of years ago.

If you want to create custom entities you must do that in Object ARX (c++)

You can add them and modify then using .NET, but the definition of the
entity must be made using ARX.

You maybee can just use a dynamic block, or even a polyline.
Depending on how much modifications you will aloow the user to do.

Hi Matt
Thanks for reply.

So you are telling me the following.
Create the entity in object (c++) and then use it as a reference in vb or
C#.
Makes sense.

Thanks
