Most of my stuff is in Java, and is open source. However, I'm starting to play around with C# and development of tools for AutoCAD using the .NET API. I'm currently working my way through the AutoCAD .Net labs. <BR /> <BR /> I noticed that there seems to be a lot of opportunity to condense code into some utility or helper classes. For example, there is a lot of method calls that take place to create a new Layer in a drawing. I wonder if that code couldn't be encapsulated in a Layer utility class with a method named createLayer that could then be used from client code. <BR /> <BR /> These utility classes could be kept in a third party library and offered under an open source license. (This would be similar to tha Apache Jakarta Commons libraries for Java.)<BR /> <BR /> Is there something similar to this already? I plan on writing some of these utility classes, and would be interested in contributing code under an open source license to such a library if it exists.<BR /> <BR /> If one does not, perhaps we can set one up if there is enough interest.<BR /> <BR /> Scott Huey Mon, 25 Jun 2007 19:39:10 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/net-forum/utility-classes-for-autocad-net/m-p/2003508#M77710 Anonymous 2007-06-25T19:39:10Z Re: Utility Classes for AutoCAD .NET https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/net-forum/utility-classes-for-autocad-net/m-p/2003509#M77711 You need to be hanging out at http://www.theswamp.org/<BR /> check out the .net forum Tue, 26 Jun 2007 08:14:51 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/net-forum/utility-classes-for-autocad-net/m-p/2003509#M77711 Anonymous 2007-06-26T08:14:51Z Re: Utility Classes for AutoCAD .NET https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/net-forum/utility-classes-for-autocad-net/m-p/2003510#M77712 Thanks.
