AutoCAD for .Net

[Anonymous]

Dear Support team,

Our existing application had been developed in visual FoxPro and API is Visual CADD.Now we have planned to develop new auto cad application in Visual Studio 2005 Csharp. In our existing application we have done the core main functionality such as block, insert, and entity id.The only draw back in our old application is version incompatibility of DWG file. We could not import the DWG file which has the version more than the 2000.

So our new application should have the below functionalities.

1. Color Coding
It is nothing but applying color to layer.

2. Symbol Creation (block).
It is used to create the symbol.

3. Place Symbol(Insert)
It is used to place the symbol on drawing environment.

4. User ID.
It nothing but assigning the ID to each entity in the environment.

5. Version compatibility.

Please provide the details, the above functionality will satisfy with your API and Let us know whether it will get for Trail version.

yea, you can do all that in .net. BTW this is a user support group made up of users of AutoCAD's .Net API, and generally listened too by the users as well. So if you are going to address this group, you must consider that WE do not own the API, AutoDesk does.

Thanks,

Whether .Net AutoCAD API will support without AutoCAD software

There are ways, but there are licensing issues to watch out for as well. You can modify a dwg file without autocad, but you can't automate autocad. With .Net you are not limited to 1 program, so you can merge and blend all you know how.
