Class Description

Question: When is a line not a line? Answer: When it represents a real world object, like a pipe or a power cable. The new Overrule API in AutoCAD 2010 allows .NET programmers for the first time to "customize" the display and behavior of standard AutoCAD entities. In this class, you will discover how to use this new and powerful API in your own applications; and learn how this API differs from the ObjectARX® custom entity API. Coding examples will be presented in VB.NET, but the concepts that will be demonstrated apply to all other .NET programming languages.
