Walkthrough/startup for BricsCAD and C#/.NET

GoksaP GoksaP

Hello everyone!

I've question. I used to work long time with AutoCAD and I have lots of custom modules/addons which I've written myself.

Now I would like to change AC for BricsCAD, but I need to adapt my modules/addons to BricsCAD API.

Is there anywhere some knownledge base/tutorials about creating custom addons in BricsCAD?

The most important think is, that I'm creating all of my stuff in C#, so it would be nice, if I could use it again in BC.

Thanks.

Here's where you should start: Dev Reference

You'll need to add the BrxMgd.dll/TD_Mgd.dll/TD_MgdBrep.dll references. 

Here's a link to some more information regarding developing for Bricscad AND Autocad in the same app/tool.  You can most likely use a lot of your existing Autocad C# code to accomplish the same tasks in Brics with proper use of..."using" directives.   Coding for both at the same time.

Example:
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Net;
using System.Diagnostics;
using HASD_CustomSettings;

#if BCAD
using AcRx = Bricscad.Runtime;
using AcTrx = Teigha.Runtime;
using AcAp = Bricscad.ApplicationServices;
using AcDb = Teigha.DatabaseServices;
using AcGe = Teigha.Geometry;
using AcEd = Bricscad.EditorInput;
using AcGi = Teigha.GraphicsInterface;
using AcClr = Teigha.Colors;
using AcWnd = Bricscad.Windows;
using AcApP = Bricscad.ApplicationServices.Application;
#endif

#if ACAD
using AcRx = Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime;
using AcTrx = Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime;
using AcAp = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices;
using AcDb = Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices;
using AcGe = Autodesk.AutoCAD.Geometry;
using AcEd = Autodesk.AutoCAD.EditorInput;
using AcGi = Autodesk.AutoCAD.GraphicsInterface;
using AcClr = Autodesk.AutoCAD.Colors;
using AcWnd = Autodesk.AutoCAD.Windows;
using AcApP = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application;
using AcP = Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop;
#endif
