CAD Program (Autocad Lite)

[klaus]

Hi Michael,

Different line types exist in the ImageLibEx library with the PenEx object!

I found this for the dxf format on this site
Autodesk - AutoCAD Services & Support - Knowledge Base
but nothing for the dwg format.

Best regards

Thanks Klaus

I am OK with loading and saving DXF files. I have done that already on my Desktop version, which is written with Visual Studio.

I get the impression that Autocad is not too keen in making their format public!

Thanks
Michael

I am attaching an updated version of my CAD program. One can now import DXF files (lines and circles only at this stage).

I need some help\advice with the zoom functions

Thanks
Michael

Hi

Another updated CAD_lite program. One can now tap on the "Info" button (the little "i" at the bottom of the screen on the left) and then tap on a drawing entity and see the properties of the selected entity. Here you can change the layer, color, coordinates, etc of the displayed entity.

I still need help\advice on the zoom functions. My maths is not quite right there

Thanks
Michael

I am attaching a preliminary help file for my CAD program. It is written in Microsoft Word format.

Thanks

I saw your application and site and both really looks amazing.
I must say that I'm really proud to see such great products developed with Basic4ppc.

One small comment, it is preferable to attach updates in the first post. It makes it easier for other users and also saves file storage space on the server.

Hi Erel

Thanks for the comment!

If it was not for your development platform, my surveying program would not have been possible. I could have done it in Visual Studio, but it is a pain in the backside. I started using NSBasic before I used your platform, but it comes nowhere close to B4PPC.

As far as my site is concerned, I am still busy developing it and it should be ready very soon.

How do you like my Himba girls?? I took the photo when I was up in Northern Namibia dong a surveying project there. These people refuse to convert to more modern ways of living and still live like they did hundreds of years ago. They don't wear any clothes, only leather thongs and cover their bodies with a mixture of rotten goat fat and a reddish stone powder.

I am sorry about the updated programs and will put new updates in the first post.

Thanks
Michael

Hi Michael,

Attached you find a template for the zooming function.

I made a simple separate program to show it rather than implementing it in yours.

Edit: 2009.07.23
There is an updated version with some more zoom functions in the next post.
Removed the source file and images.

Best regards.
