I've been out of the programming world and AutoCAD for some time now. Anything new in 15 regarding user experience and API?

Funny, they pay lip service to supporting the Dark Theme, however as I pointed out in my review of C3D 2015 the
Dark Theme is NOT fully implemented; even by Autodesk. (what a bunch of losers)

AutoCAD 360 won't go away quietly so the Javascript API (1) may be worth investigation in the next 12 months.
The Document Tabs looked interesting .. just need to find a rational reason to use them ... other than Ohhh shiny !
(1) Jonesy, there's a good excuse to learn JavaScript :)

Thanks,
Some interesting features as usual but nothing earth shattering either.
I'll go back to sleep now..

I was planning to use this tab to display information about the current open drawings. Since I use AutoCAD MEP I was going to investigate to running total of fittings, pipe, duct, etc and display as a html page. So far its just a thought and nothing on paper yet.

Looks like both HTML, and WPF are supported... I'll have to try the WPF, as I was just gathering documentation for an internal resources WPF Browser App anyway.

Sorry to hear about that one Dent.

Autodesk did finally adopt .NET 4.5. So you can now use Async/Await in your plug ins.

For those (ah me) who may not already be adept:
async (C# Reference) (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh156513.aspx)
Use the async modifier to specify that a method, lambda expression, or anonymous method is asynchronous. If you use this modifier on a method or expression, it's referred to as an async method.
...
If you're new to asynchronous programming or do not understand how an async method uses the await keyword to do potentially long-running work without blocking the caller’s thread, you should read the introduction in Asynchronous Programming with Async and Await (C# and Visual Basic) (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh191443.aspx).
