Classes by Industry Automating CAD Standards with Visual LISP® CP211-5 03-Dec-08 1:15 pm - 2:45 pm This class will present and explain several routines for automating your CAD standards using Visual LISP reactors. We’ll cover assigning blocks, objects and commands to specified layers, and more! 90-Minute Class Advanced San Polo 3504 Peter Jamtgaard, Engineering Manager | Cordeck Sales, Inc. C# .NET Command School CP305-3 04-Dec-08 10:15 am - 11:45 am Learn to make your custom C# .NET commands look and feel just like “regular” AutoCAD®. This is all about prompts, dialogs, and interaction with the users and the .NET API. We will take a detailed look at creating 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 Class Introductory Lido 3003 Doug Goforth, President | National MultiTech LTD OpenDCL: DCL Has Evolved! CP405-2 05-Dec-08 10:15 am - 11:45 am I know what you’re thinking: “Why learn OpenDCL when there’s VBA & .NET?” If you haven’t already heard, VBA isn’t going to be around much longer and do you really want to port your hundreds of Lisp routines to .NET? This class will introduce you to the basics of OpenDCL and its abilities. We’ll discuss how to easily design stunning GUIs (Graphical User Interfaces) for your Lisp routines, and also cover advanced topics, such as securely embedding your UI into a VLX file for public distribution. Come and learn about a great tool. Attendees should have general AutoCAD® and AutoLISP® knowledge. 90-Minute Class All Levels Lido 3106 Barry Ralphs, CAD Manager | Tipping Mar Custom Object Snaps and Other Geometry Calculator Tricks in AutoCAD® CP115-2L 02-Dec-08 3:15 pm - 4:45 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 3301 Darren Young, MSD Application Engineer | MasterGraphics Custom Subassembly Development for Civil 3D® CP405-3 05-Dec-08 10:15 am - 11:45 am Learn how to design, create, or modify a subassembly in Civil 3D. This class will walk you through the steps of creating the ATC file, the program file, and how to package your subassembly for distribution. 90-Minute Class Power User San Polo 3502 Peter Funk, Senior Product Manager | Autodesk Selected for Speed: Using Selection Sets for Faster Operation CP311-4 04-Dec-08 1:15 pm - 2:45 pm Ever have to “walk” the drawing database to find something? Harness the built-in power of AutoCAD® to get there quickly. Want the user to only select certain entities? Selection sets give you a clean and elegant method for doing just that. The creation and use of selection sets may seem foreign to those using object-orient APIs. This class will discuss the history of selection set components, what group codes are, and how they relate to drawing objects. We will compare the speed of similar functions written with or without the use of selection sets. All of the selection methods and their parameters will be exposed and sample code will be examined for efficiency. 90-Minute Class Intermediate San Polo 3403 Mary West, Senior Software Engineer | Avatech Solutions Hands-On Introduction to C# AutoCAD® CP501-1L 05-Dec-08 8:15 am - 11:45 am A good introduction to C# programming for AutoCAD can get you off to a great start. Learn the essentials, all of the essentials, and nothing but the essentials of writing C# add-ins for AutoCAD. 3.5-Hour Lab Introductory Murano 3201 Jerry Winters, President | VB CAD The AutoLISP® Crash Course CP205-2 03-Dec-08 10:15 am - 11:45 am ® AutoLISP/Visual LISP is a powerful way to extend AutoCAD® functionality, but many avoid using it because they think it’s too hard to learn. This course starts at the beginning and rapidly moves you through concepts such as lists, accessing the command line, storing and retrieving variables, writing your own command functions, working with simple sets, and controlling AutoCAD’s start-up to achieve greater standardization of your AutoCAD environment. If you want to tap the power of AutoLISP, fasten your AutoCAD belt for this session. 90-Minute Class Intermediate Lido 3005 Robert Green, Owner | cad-manager.com 52 http://www.cad-manager.com
