Description
Thirty-seven offices and seven unique borders. Discover how to eliminate hours of repetitive tasks by using AutoCAD software's DocumentManager and asynchronous command execution to automate Block Editor operations. This session will demonstrate techniques for automatically managing the dynamic blocks with visibility states in these drawings using the Block Editor API. Learn how to combine Editor.CommandAsync, transaction management, and proper document locking to update these seven drawings based on a single database. This session will cover how to get the final solution, and attendees will walk away with the practical code patterns, debugging strategies, and approaches that transformed hours of manual updates into a process that takes just seconds.
Key Learnings
- Learn how to implement asynchronous command workflows using Editor.CommandAsync to automate Block Editor operations.
