New in this Posting of the Guide -- Highlights
January 2010
- Heidi 10.1 -- The same graphics system used by AutoCAD 2010 is
available for driver writers and developers world wide. Note:
Heidi 10.0 drivers are not backward compatible with versions of AutoCAD
prior to AutoCAD 2010. Heidi 9.x and older drivers are not forward compatible
with AutoCAD 2010.
- System
Requirements -- Heidi runs under Windows
NT, 2000, XP (Professional, Home Edition or Tablet PC Edition), or Vista
and uses Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2008, as its build environment.
- 64-bit
Transition--
With this release, AutoCAD supports
both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows environments. As a result, all drivers must
be compiled in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Technical information on
porting 32-bit driver code to 64-bit versions can be found in the ObjectARX 64-Bit Migration Guide.
