Some of you may have seen Kean's blogs about IronRuby and AutoCAD. http://through-the-interface.typepad.com/through_the_interface/2009/04/using-ironruby-inside-autocad.html (http://through-the-interface.typepad.com/through_the_interface/2009/04/using-ironruby-inside-autocad.html)
The post got me thinking about combining my interest in AutoCAD with my interest in Ruby. So I hacked out a few helper methods and posted them on github http://github.com/davidbl/IronRuby-Autocad-Helper/tree/master (http://github.com/davidbl/IronRuby-Autocad-Helper/tree/master)
My code is based on Kean's work but he was fine with me posting it.
It seems to me that Ruby and IronRuby will be a great way to code for autocad. I hope it catches on. I know Kean is doing a class at AU about Ruby and Python, so who knows
Anyway, if anyone is interested in Ruby and wants to play along, have at it and have fun.

Nice work David, I don't know IronRuby but you posted some really easy to follow examples

Thanks Bryco.
The basics of Ruby (which is about all i know) are easy enough to pick up.
All it really takes is downloading a few files and a good text editor .
