Classes by Industry Customization & Programming Take This Ribbon and…Tweak It! (Hands On) [Repeat] CP201-2L 03-Dec-08 8:15 am - 9:45 am The ribbon. It has come to AutoCAD®. The ribbon introduces a new interface, one that can help you work more productively. However, the real productivity only comes when you customize the ribbon to provide the tools you need on a daily basis. Unlike the ribbon interface in other applications, the AutoCAD ribbon is customizable. This hands-on approach will show you how to transfer toolbar and menu items into the ribbon structure. 90-Minute Lab Introductory Murano 3301 R. Robert Bell, Design Technology Manager | Sparling .NET Command Lab CP111-1L 02-Dec-08 1:15 pm - 2:45 pm This is a hands-on lab for anyone who wants to create commands in AutoCAD® using the .NET API. We will create prompts and dialogs to interact with the users through the VB.NET API. We will also create AutoCAD command prompts and LISP functions. You will learn how to present the user with a choice of geometry and keyword responses, perform various actions depending on the input, and then repeat the prompt for the next input. 90-Minute Lab Introductory Murano 3301 Doug Goforth, President | National MultiTech LTD Tapping into the Power of the AutoCAD® API CP111-2 02-Dec-08 1:15 pm - 2:45 pm You’ve heard about it, read about it, or stumbled upon it. What is it? The perfect API call, or so it would seem. Or perhaps you’re still looking for it. Either way, how do you understand an undocumented or unsupported API call? f you have been frustrated from being unable to find the API information you need, this class is for you. 90-Minute Class Intermediate San Polo 3505 Jerry Winters, President | VB CAD AutoLISP® by Example, Part I CP101-1 02-Dec-08 8:15 am - 9:45 am If you have some prior experience with LISP programming and want more, this workshop is for you. Despite the many advantages of other programming languages, AutoLISP remains the easiest way for most users to expand on existing AutoCAD® commands. This workshop will aid your understanding of LISP by breaking down a number of actual LISP programs. We’ll demonstrate how to get information from users and the drawing; perform calculations; create transparent commands; manage and convert strings; utilize conditional functions; apply functions that loop through data; include error trapping in new commands; and maybe even take a peek at making AutoLISP interact with MS-DOS®. 3.5-Hour Class Intermediate San Polo 3504 Dan Abbott, Professor | Southern Maine Community College The Power of ObjectARX® CP311-5 04-Dec-08 1:15 pm - 2:45 pm ® This session for advanced AutoCAD users and developers will present a simple and complete introduction on creating and using custom entities with the fantastic ObjectARX programming environment. The session will begin by presenting some basic concepts about ObjectARX programming. Attendees will learn how to create basic ObjectARX applications using an ARX Wizard. Next, the class will explore how the AutoCAD database works, organizes and uses its objects. The session will end with custom object concepts, code examples, and a great step-by-step example. 90-Minute Class Intermediate Lido 3003 Fernando Malard, Senior Developer Manager | OFCDesk LLC The ABC’s of CUI in AutoCAD® CP215-2 03-Dec-08 3:15 pm - 4:45 pm The Customize User Interface (CUI) is used to control your menus, toolbars, the ribbon, keyboard shortcuts, and doubleclick actions. There is plenty to do but you might be unsure how to do it. This course will teach you how to create new macros which are called commands in the CUI. You will then see how to use those new commands in a menu and a ribbon panel. You will see how to create a toolbar. Keyboard shortcuts and temporary overrides will be explained. Doubleclick actions further expand your customizations. Finally, workspaces will be explained. This will provide you with the needed skills in the fundamentals of the CUI. 90-Minute Class Introductory Lido 3003 R. Robert Bell, Design Technology Manager | Sparling AutoLISP® Editor: It Should be Easy It Is! CP211-1L 03-Dec-08 1:15 pm - 2:45 pm Using small, easy-to-follow sample programs, I will show how easy it is to use the editor provided with Visual LISP®. There are a few really cool tricks that, once learned, are a big help when writing AutoLISP programs. 90-Minute Lab Intermediate Murano 3303 Jack Foster, Owner | 3D Design Services, LLC 47
