.NET and AutoCAD .NET glossary
« on: August 01, 2012, 03:49:25 PM »
Do you guys think it would be a good idea we could keep a glossary(definitions) for users?
Anyone could submit a definition and if no one disagrees, a moderator or I could update this first post to add it to the list.
I know I am guilty of it but it might help for using correct terminology, and help for terms with dual meanings.
 
Example:
 
A
.....
B
Block – preferably use BlockTableRecord or BlockReference. See BlockTableRecord & BlockReference

......
I
Interface -.........

To prevent unnecessary duplication, probably best to avoid conventional C#/VB keywords like Interface, Class, etc.  Plenty of references for those elsewhere.  Instead it should focus on the AutoCAD side of things, like BlockReference, Entity, Palette, and so on.
If you are going to fly by the seat of your pants, expect friction burns.

Yes, please!

Despite having IT install the ObjectARX SDK's documentation, I am still unable to access the help documentation via Visual Studio 2010 Express. I'm usually on here anyway, searching for help with what I am after, so something like this would be a great thread to add to my growing collection of 'Pinned App Tabs'.  :lol:

Great idea if we can include vertical products.
