Classes by Industry Inventor® API: Taking the Step from VBA Macros to Add-Ins DE301-1 04-Dec-08 8:15 am - 9:45 am This session will introduce you to the world of Inventor Add-ins. It begins with a look at Microsoft Visual Basic® Express, a free programming interface that can be used to write add-ins. We’ll also look at the differences between VBA and VB Express. Next we’ll discuss what an add-in is and its advantages and disadvantages compared to using VBA. Finally, we’ll look at the process of converting a VBA macro into an add-in command. 90-Minute Class Intermediate Lido 3001b Brian Ekins, Product Designer | Autodesk AutoCAD® .NET Basics DE205-4 03-Dec-08 10:15 am - 11:45 am Wondering what all the hype is around .NET? We’ll give you the basic information you need to get up to speed on writing your own .NET applications based on the AutoCAD .NET application programming interface (API). This foundation class includes: an overview of the .NET Framework and what is means for programmers; how to write your first AutoCAD .NET add-in; simple user interaction; a discussion of the structure of the DWG™ database; how to add CAD entities to the DWG database; and how to traverse the entities already in the DWG. Make sure you also sign up for our “AutoCAD .NET: A Tour” class if you attend this. 90-Minute Class Intermediate San Polo 3404 Stephen Preston, Americas Manager, Developer Technical Services | Autodesk Revit® Structure API: From Bi-Directional Link to Rebar Detailing DE215-3 03-Dec-08 3:15 pm - 4:45 pm Two main areas of interest in the Revit Structure (RST) API are the bi-directional link to an external structural analysis program and reinforced concrete detailing design. In addition to the physical building information model (BIM) defined in Revit Architecture, RST defines an analytical model of the building, composed of geometry, loads, connectivity, release/boundary conditions, material properties, and other project parameters. This session shows how to implement a bi-directional link to a structural analysis program. We will then look at the reinforcement concrete detailing API and show how to automate part of the reinforcement workflow, eliminating repetitive manual tasks. This session assumes basic knowledge of Revit programming. 90-Minute Class Intermediate San Polo 3501b Mikako Harada, Developer Consultant | Autodesk AutoCAD® Architecture .NET API In-Depth DE211-3 03-Dec-08 1:15 pm - 2:45 pm This course will introduce the AutoCAD Architecture .NET API as an extension of the AutoCAD .NET API platform. We will discuss class hierarchy, and techniques for accessing objects and data. We will then go into some of the advanced areas of the API including object relationships, property data, projects, display system, graphic streams, and the modeler. 90-Minute Class Intermediate San Polo 3501b Kevin Vandecar, Software Engineer | Autodesk Introduction to Topobase™ API DE205-1 03-Dec-08 10:15 am - 11:45 am This session introduces to you the Topobase architecture, components, technical features, vertical modules, and the basics of Topobase API. Plug-in is an important aspect on extending and customizing the Topobase application. This session will show you the steps in creating and loading a plug-in in Topobase. After the session, you will have a good understanding on Topobase API and customization. 90-Minute Class Intermediate Lido 3001a Dongjin Xing, Developer Consultant | Autodesk There’s More to DWG™ than AutoCAD® DE215-4 03-Dec-08 3:15 pm - 4:45 pm Discover how you can build applications to read, write, and view DWG files outside of AutoCAD using a variety of licensed and free technologies, including RealDWG™, HOOPS, AutoCAD OEM, and DWG TrueView™. 90-Minute Class Intermediate San Polo 3501a Kean Walmsley, Senior Manager, DevTech | Autodesk Introduction to the Inventor® API DE211-1 03-Dec-08 1:15 pm - 2:45 pm This session will introduce you to the Inventor API with particular emphasis on Part Modeling. Topics covered will include creating part features; analyzing the solids and surfaces of a part; workfeatures; sketches; constraints; profiles and parameters; and more. VB.NET and VBA will be used to demonstrate the power of the API. 90-Minute Class Intermediate Lido 3001b Wayne Brill, Developer Consultant | Autodesk Introduction to the AutoCAD Electrical API ® DE215-1 03-Dec-08 3:15 pm - 4:45 pm This session will provide an overview and introduction to the AutoCAD Electrical API. We will discuss how the API can be accessed via AutoLISP®, and demonstrate typical uses. It is assumed the audience is familiar with AutoCAD Electrical as a product, and AutoLISP. This class will benefit AutoCAD Electrical users, CAD and IT managers who want to automate or customize their systems and processes. 90-Minute Class Intermediate Lido 3001b Nate Holte, | Autodesk 58
