I'm looking for anything that might get me started creating ACA/MEP Display Themes in .NET. I see DisplayThemeStyle, DisplayThemeRuleCollection, and DisplayThemeRuleBase in AecBaseMgd but of course the documentation is so awesome I'm overwhelmed with information and need assistance.
Hi MexicanCustard,
Yes the documentation can be overwhelming and quite intimidating, but after a while you will start to get the hang of it, but would be glad to give you some assistance.
For starters Autodesk did such a great job in 2011 they still ship 2011 documentation with 2013, but to break it down and help understand the section "about DisplayTheme Class"
AutoCAD Architecture 2011 .NET API Reference | |
DisplayTheme Class
For a list of all members of this type, see DisplayTheme Members.
System.Object
MarshalByRefObject
DisposableWrapper
RXObject
Drawable
DBObject
Entity
Curve
Entity
Geo
DisplayTheme
public class DisplayTheme : Geo
As you can see from reading the documentation the class is called DisplayTheme.
It took me a while to grasp that one, but luckily they did a great job keeping consistent format for explaining classes inside the API.
So once you get a handle on one of them the rest is a piece of cake.
