CMS Intellicad 14 review

[Danielm103]

Always been a fan of CMS. I had meant to test out v14 back when it was released, I think I couldn’t find the SDK or something. Anyway, Let’s check it.

Good looking interface, Ribbon, menu bar, and title bar. I don’t do drawings much, so I’m mainly going to test out the IRX API.

 

I’ve opened a few good size drawings, it seems responsive, zooming and panning is plenty fast.

3d looks pretty good, I think the nav tool is pretty cool as its activated on mouse over, though it’s hard to see with some visual styles

Let’s setup IRX and see how it compares to ARX

I setup an ENV path IRX14 that points to the SDK. 

 

I didn’t see any documentation on how to setup a project from scratch. But there is a wizard for visual studio.

I’ve had done this before, basically, I brute force it. There is documentation for .NET and ODA stuff.

This is a test with wxArx,  github.com/CEXT-Dan/WxArx

Has a great looking palette, wxDialogs work fine.

This is totally cool! This is a custom entity github.com/CEXT-Dan/ArxTin

I’m very surprised this event worked! And it’s fast!  There were three missing functions

 

acedGetCurrentSelectionSet – missing

acedSSLength – wrong type

acdbSymUtil()->blockModelSpaceId(pDb) – returns null
