Create a HTML form or custom palette

I have been using AutoCAD for about a year and have some background in OOP, though mostly Python, Java, and JavaScript.

 

Currently we have a section of our template that client information is entered in to, and then this information is populated in multiple areas of the template. I would like to create an form or palette of sorts that would allow me to be able to add/edit this information. 

 

I found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZKKJwcke2k&t=1046s that shows a similar functionality that could be applied, but since JavaScript API support is dead, I'd rather not go that route. 

 

I'm not great at reading documentation, but if anyone could point me in the right direction I don't mind doing the legwork to figure it out. I'm just having a hard time finding a starting point.

Hi,

 

try using Docking Palette as explained in https://forums.autodesk.com/autodesk/attachments/autodesk/152/26712/1/CP205-2_Mike_Tuersley.pdf .  Palette  allows you to show a .NET user control, which will enable you to show your custom UI in AutoCAD.

Thank you! I think this could be the right option. Unfortunately I found out that since I use AutoCAD LT I can't use the .NET API. I'll see what I can figure out using Excel sheets and macros for the time being. Thanks again.
