Classes by Industry Using the New AutoCAD® Data Extraction API with VB.NET CP301-2L 04-Dec-08 8:15 am - 9:45 am For any developer who has ever wanted to automate the AutoCAD Data Extraction program, it is finally possible through the new Data Extraction API available in AutoCAD 2009. This session is a combination of an ObjectARX® SDK C# sample translated into VB.NET as well as an overall look at the features available within the extraction library. The entire data extraction process can be initialized and controlled through programming as well as a DXE file and can run on single or multiple drawings. The session will consist of creating a simple program that uses the AcDx.dll library to gather drawing entity data into a Microsoft® data table object. Once the data is within the data table, it can then be exported to any number of programs as well as exported to CSV, XLS and XML. 90-Minute Lab Intermediate Murano 3201 Michael Tuersley, Senior Programmer/Analyst | Ohio Gratings, Inc. .NET programming for Civil Engineers and Surveyors CP315-3 04-Dec-08 3:15 pm - 4:45 pm This class covers introductory programming for civil engineers and surveyors who want to venture into the world of customization with VB.NET. You will learn the prerequisites needed to start programming in .NET, and how to create AutoCAD® Civil 3D® objects, such as COGO points, surfaces, alignments, and profiles. 90-Minute Class Introductory Lido 3105 Strahimir Antoljak, P.E., Project Engineer | Langan Engineering & Environmental Services Custom Object Snaps and Other Geometry Calculator Tricks in AutoCAD® CP105-1L 02-Dec-08 10:30 am - 12:00 pm Have you ever wanted to snap to the 1/3 point of a line, or quickly grab the radius of an arc or circle of unknown size? What about bisecting an angle between two lines? The Geometry Calculator has been around for a long time and is truly a hidden secret of AutoCAD. There’s a lot it can do for you if you take the time dig into the wealth of functionality it provides. 90-Minute Lab Intermediate Murano 3303 Darren Young, MSD Application Engineer | MasterGraphics Fundamentals of AutoLISP® CP501-2 05-Dec-08 8:15 am - 11:45 am AutoLISP has been around for a long time and has always separated the AutoCAD® green thumbs from the gurus. The amount of AutoLISP code used in CAD-dependent industries remains tremendous, and AutoLISP is more powerful today than ever. It’s free, it’s gentle and forgiving, and it provides users with the ability to create new AutoCAD commands in minutes. This class helps seasoned AutoCAD users enter the world of customization and programming using the AutoCAD native graphical language. The class provides over 30 examples of code to help the student understand the syntax of this programming language. The material is designed for intermediate-level AutoCAD users who have never programmed in AutoLISP before. 3.5-Hour Class Intermediate Murano 3203 dave espinosa-aguilar, Software Engineer | Owner Customizing Autodesk Inventor® CP211-2 03-Dec-08 1:15 pm - 2:45 pm An overview of how customization can improve user productivity with Autodesk Inventor. The session will cover topics from keyboard customization through implementing a custom product configurator with Autodesk Intent™. 90-Minute Class Intermediate San Polo 3401 Neil Munro, Owner | C-Cubed Technologies Ltd. The Basics of the Autodesk® Revit® API CP315-1 04-Dec-08 3:15 pm - 4:45 pm This class is intended for anyone wanting to extend the functionality of any of the Revit applications. Today’s Revit API allows an incredible amount of custom application opportunities that can help your company automate tasks and integrate external programs or databases. This session will help get you started using the Revit API as well as show some examples of relevant but very basic applications. Within the context of the samples are some very useful code snippets that you can use in your own applications. The new integrated development environment will allow you to create simple tools without any additional cost. With some basic .NET programming skills, you can take your office to the next level and tap into the power of Building Information Modeling. 90-Minute Class Intermediate Murano 3205 Danny Polkinhorn, Corporate CAD Manager | WATG Expanding BIM with the Revit API ® CP401-3 05-Dec-08 8:15 am - 9:45 am This class will cover the many ways that the Revit API can be used to integrate the building information model into the architect and engineering office workflow. We will cover ways to reduce and eliminate data duplication, perform analysis on the building, and integrate Revit into other applications used in your office. 90-Minute Class All Levels Lido 3003 Anthony Hauck, AEC Platform Line Manager | Autodesk 50
