The AutoCAD Team has been working on a service that will enable third-party developers to interact with DWG™ files via HTTP from anywhere on any device. This presentation will provide details of this new API (application programming interface), and we will show you how to use it from your website, mobile, or desktop app. We will also provide hands-on examples of how to accomplish various tasks, including the plotting of thousands of DWG files to PDF.

This roundtable session is a followup to DV1732: Introduction to Apple® iOS Mobile Development. Attendees can address questions that there might have not been time to cover during the lecture or they can talk about other related topics of interest.

Learn how quick and easy it is to start programming on iOS for Apple iPhone, iPad, and iPod. In this class the speaker will create from scratch a simple iOS application with traditional user interface elements like buttons, tabs, and lists. We will then deploy this app on an iPad and show it running. Finally, we will show how you can debug and test an iOS application. You will learn where you need to go and what you need to do to start programming in iOS. We will also show you how you can use GLKit framework to draw 3D graphics, and how to access REST web services from your iOS device.

Learn how quick and easy it is to start programming on iOS for Apple Inc.'s iPhone, iPad, and iPod. This class will show you how to create from scratch a simple iOS application with traditional user interface elements like buttons, tabs, and lists. You will then learn how to deploy this app on an iPad and see it running. Finally, you will discover how to debug and test an iOS application. During these demonstrations you will learn where you need to go and what you need to do to start programming in iOS. You will also discover how you can use GLKit to draw 3D graphics and how to access REST web services from your iOS device.

This class will provide details about the improvements we have made to the AutoCAD.IO software API since it first debuted. The AutoCAD .IO V2 API includes improvements that were requested by developers like you and make the service easier to use and understand.

This roundtable discussion is a followup to the class DV3456 All You Need to Know About AutoCAD® Secure Load.

MVVM, WPF, DI, IoC, DDD, the list goes on...

If you're new to programming, you likely won't know what all of these mean.

However, if you want to take your Revit addin to the next level, and write a maintainable, testable application, you will need to know all of these and more.

This class will teach you the fundamentals of how to separate your application into multiple layers, how to unit test your applications and explain why this is a good idea (Hint: your application will end up larger than you've planned).

Integrating all of this into a Revit addin presents its own particular challenges, and these will be addressed in this class.

There will also be a sample application provided that you can use as the basis for your own applications.

Integrating Fusion 360 with Forge can be a really powerful way to streamline your existing processes.

In this class, we will provide an introduction to both the Forge and Fusion 360 API's and will explain how you can get started with implementing workflows using both Fusion 360 and Forge.

AutoLISP programming language has been around for decades, yet there are many functions that often go undiscovered or forgotten by veteran AutoLISP programmers. While there are hundreds of AutoLISP programming language functions (thousands, if you count ActiveX), this class will focus on 21 functions that new developers often overlook and that veteran programmers often forget. All of the functions fit into 1 of several different themes, including function execution, object creation and manipulation, and error handling. We will also discuss loading LISP files, accessing variable values, and configuring contextual help.

The class offers an in-depth look at the AutoCAD App Autoloader module. Learn about its concepts and how to use it, then join the roundtable session that accompanies this class to get answers to your questions and view demonstrations.

The Vault 2014 release adds a powerful set of programming tools: the Vault Development Framework (VDF). Learn how to unlock the power of the VDF. Get more features in your apps with less code. This class goes over the basics of the VDF, such as how to use the Login dialog. From there we explore how to use the VDF in various contexts, such as the Job Processor. Lastly, we go over useful tips and tricks for Vault 2014 API programming.

This followup session to the class An In-Depth Look at the AutoCAD® App Autoloader Module provides the opportunity for the kind of detailed information that can be acquired from a more direct roundtable discussion.

Vault 2015 software release adds a powerful set of programming tools—the Vault Developer Framework. Learn how to unlock the power of the Vault Developer Framework. Get more features in your apps with less code. This class goes over the basics of the Vault Developer Framework, such as how to use the Login dialog. From there we will explore how to use the Vault Developer Framework in various contexts, such as the Job Processor. Lastly, we will go over useful tips and tricks for Vault 2015 API programming.

This roundtable session is a followup discussion for the class DV2258: Introduction to Android™ Development. We discuss questions the attendees may have about what has been presented in the class, go deeper into the topics of their choice, and present some of the sample Android applications that have been developed by DevTech engineers.

Building on concepts originally introduced in AutoCAD 2013 SP 1.1, AutoCAD 2014 software implemented a much more stringent security model in place for applications. This has been introduced to combat the rise of malware that targets AutoCAD. This class teaches you everything you need to know about the new security features inside of AutoCAD and how to create apps that observe these new security features.

Ask your programming questions of our panel of hardcore cloud and mobile experts from our software development teams. If you are writing solutions that are based on these technologies or you are just about to start and want to know more, then this is the perfect forum to get to know the people who create the APIs and services you work with and your fellow programmers who use those APIs. Come and ask questions, add your expertise to the discussion, or just listen and learn.

AutoLISP is designed to be easy to learn, but as programs become larger and more complex, you will need to learn to debug problems and catch errors. In this class, you learn how to debug programs, catch errors to keep your programs from terminating unexpectedly, create custom error handlers, and use undo markers to restore a drawing to its previous state. Debugging a program can be done through static messages or interactively using the Visual LISP Editor while your program is executing. To get the most from this class, you want to have prior experience with AutoLISP.
