Classes by Industry AutoLISP® by Example, Part II CP111-3 02-Dec-08 1:15 pm - 2:45 pm ® See: CP101-1 AutoLISP by Example, Part I 90-Minute Class All levels San Polo 3504 Dan Abbott, Professor | Southern Maine Community College VSTA : The Powerful Programming Environment of Revit® Architecture CP101-2 02-Dec-08 8:15 am - 9:45 am VSTA is here and it is inside REVIT. Be a leader in the Revit world by learning about this amazing customization tool. See it in action, learn how it works, and take home some sample code so you can begin writing Revit programs yourself. 90-Minute Class Introductory Lido 3003 Jerry Winters, President | VB CAD Working with Actions and the AutoCAD® Action Recorder [Repeat] CP205-4L 03-Dec-08 10:15 am - 11:45 am In this hands-on lab, you will learn to use the new Action Recorder that comes with AutoCAD 2009. Using the Action Recorder, you will learn to record commands and input, and then create an action macro which can be played back later. Once an action macro is recorded, you will insert user messages and change recorded input values to request a new value during playback. After modifying an action macro, you will learn about the locations that AutoCAD looks in for action macros when recording and playing back an action macro. 90-Minute Lab Introductory Murano 3303 Lee Ambrosius, Senior Technical Writer | Autodesk High-Octane ObjectARX® CP115-1 02-Dec-08 3:15 pm - 4:45 pm This class is for experienced C++ programmers who want to learn new techniques for maximizing the effectiveness of your ObjectARX programming environment. Class content will be useful for both in-house programmers and commercial application developers. We’ll discuss the ObjectARX API; however the focus will be on the programming environment. The class includes tips, tricks, and tools for getting the most out of ObjectARX. 90-Minute Class Intermediate Lido 3105 Owen Wengerd, Programmer | CADLock, Inc. How to Get the Most out of the Action Recorder CP405-1P 05-Dec-08 10:15 am - 11:45 am AutoCAD 2009 debuted the Action Recorder—the first macro recorder for AutoCAD®. The Action Recorder provides an easy way for non-programmers to automate repetitive tasks and increase productivity. Taught by two of the AutoCAD developers who worked on it, the class offers practical tips for getting the most out of this powerful feature. Topics include: pausing playback and providing new input; object selection; relative coordinates; macro management and much more. 90-Minute Class Power User Palazzo M-N Tom Stoeckel, | Autodesk DWG™ File Manipulation with VB.NET CP205-3 03-Dec-08 10:15 am - 11:45 am How many lines of code does it take to open a drawing file in memory, extract block and attribute information, and close it without the user seeing the file open in AutoCAD®? And how quickly can this be done? You may be surprised how few lines of code it takes and how fast it happens. And we can do more than just extract blocks and attributes. 90-Minute Class Intermediate Lido 3003 Jerry Winters, President | VB CAD Creating AutoCAD® Jigs in VB.NET: An Introduction CP215-3 03-Dec-08 3:15 pm - 4:45 pm Jigs are one of the Holy Grails of AutoCAD customization. VB.NET makes them very easy to create though. Learn the basics of creating Draw Jigs and Entity Jigs in VB.NET. 90-Minute Class Introductory Lido 3002 Jerry Winters, President | VB CAD Save Our Source! Converting VBA to VB.NET CP301-3 04-Dec-08 8:15 am - 9:45 am ® ® In the Microsoft Windows XP world, VBA provided a quick and friendly way to develop applications within AutoCAD®. With the advent of Windows Vista™, VBA becomes VSTA, which our friends at Autodesk have warned us may not be as useful. Luckily, Visual Basic code is portable to VB.NET (an API recommended by Autodesk). This class will step through the process of harvesting an existing VBA application and rebuilding it using Microsoft’s free download, Visual Basic® Express Edition. 90-Minute Class Intermediate Lido 3003 Mary West, Senior Software Engineer | Avatech Solutions 49
