API programming

[Hmm..]

Hello everyone!

 

I have been trying to find out how can i program Autodesk Robot Structural software. I haven't found any guides or examples.

 

Can this been done by LISP?

From the AutoDesk website:

 

Open and Flexible API

"Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional uses Microsoft COM (Component Object Model) technologies, enabling an open and flexible API (application programming interface)."

 

Does that at least provide a clue?

[Hmm..]

Right, but where can I get this information how to do it, what programming language is used, some code examples and guide lines, tutorials etc.? I really can't find anything!

Sign up for a one day AutoDesk Developer's seminar?

[Hmm..]

In my region there are not such at the moment. There is lots of information about Revit API, with tutorials, examples, code examples... It would be awesome to have some about Robot!

Thank you!

 

I also want to let every one know, that help files and tutorials regarding to API are stored in installation CD. There are also some examples, and it is not possible to program with LISP, only with VB, C++ or C# as far as I understand.

 

Regards.

Thanks for the update and the additional information. Good luck with your programming efforts.

[Hmm..]

Thank you! I'll sure need that .

 

I know just a little bit in VB, and completely nothing in C#, but I was told that C# is a better language, so I'll try to do something in it. I just hope it will not take too much time for first "HelloWorld" sample successfully run in Robot!
