CAD Clinic: AutoCAD Commands in VB .NET 15 Jun, 2005By: Mike TuersleyCadalyst Use .NET Editors to Create Simple AutoCAD commands Welcome back! This month we're going to create two simple AutoCAD commands in Visual Basic .Net. If you have not already read last month's column discussing .NET editors, please do so before continuing with this article. For this article, we will recreate the classic "Hello World" example and throw the text into AutoCAD's command line and into an MText object. To begin, open SharpDevelop and create a new combine -- a combine is equivalent to a new project in Microsoft Visual Basic. Now add the references to the project just like with Visual Basic 6 or VBA. Now you should have the code window open for SharpDevelop. Imports System Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices Imports acadApp = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application Public Class HelloWorld Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.DocumentManager. • In .NET code:
Laboratoire 3Dnatives : comment optimiser votre MakerBot Replicator 2 ? Nous vous annoncions la semaine passée le lancement du laboratoire 3Dnatives composé de notre machine de référence, la MakerBot Replicator 2. Aujourd’hui, on vous dévoile tout sur les capacités réelles de cette imprimante et les possibilités d’évolution de celle-ci car OUI, bien que le modèle de MakerBot sort du contexte de l’Open Source, ce n’est pas pour autant qu’il est impossible de la faire évoluer ! Esthétiquement parlant, il n’y a pas grand-chose à redire sur la machine. La structure du châssis est solide et la finition est à la hauteur mais qu’en est-il de la conception et des composants ? Sur ce point de vue, le discours est quelque peu différent, car après avoir passé près d’un an à essayer d’en tirer le maximum, force est de constater que MakerBot aurais pu mieux faire… Les problèmes rencontrés L’extrudeur d’origine des premières Replicator 2 Pour votre information, sachez que ce kit de remplacement est disponible gratuitement ici (hors frais de port).

VB.NET para AutoCAD. Primeros pasos (I) A estas alturas no entraremos a mencionar las excelencias de AutoCAD, el programa de CAD más extendido a nivel mundial, ni el formato DWG, estándar de facto en la industria del CAD. Existen muchos medios para programar sobre AutoCAD: AutoLisp, VBA (Macros para AutoCAD), ARX (C++ para AutoCAD) y .NET, la más reciente incorporación al sistema y, por qué no decirlo, la más prometedora para los desarrolladores dado que incorpora toda la potencia de .NET y toda la potencia de AutoCAD en un solo entorno. ¿Qué clase de objeto debemos crear para desarrollar sobre AutoCAD? Una biblioteca de clases. Dentro de ella ya podrá crear toda clase de objetos .NET (WinForms, clases, controles, ...). ¿Necesita estar instalado AutoCAD en mi equipo? Por supuesto que si. ¿Qué framework o versión de Visual Studio debe utilizar? Obtendrá esta información en la web de Autodesk o en los foros de la comunidad de desarrolladores. Pasos a seguir: Cree un proyecto nuevo en Visual Studio del tipo Biblioteca de Clases.

FORM 1: An affordable, professional 3D printer by Formlabs Are you frustrated that low-end 3D printers don’t have the quality to make the true beauty of your designs real? Do you dream of having the power and resolution of a truly professional machine on your desktop? We’ve created an easy-to-use system that rivals the output of high-end printers at a fraction of the cost. Our reason for starting this project is simple: there are no low-cost 3D printers that meet the quality standards of the professional designer. We’ve been hard at work for over a year, and with your help, we’re ready to take the Form 1 into full-fledged production. We’ve gone to extraordinary lengths to design a complete 3D printing experience: The Form 1 printer is engineered to produce high resolution parts with the touch of a buttonForm software is intuitive and simple to use so you can spend less time setting up prints and more time designingThe Form Finish post-processing kit keeps your desktop organized so that you can easily put the finishing touches on your masterpiece
