Run the TextInBo圎dit command, select entities and see that texts are updated.Open the TextInBox.dwg and edit the entities.Start nanoCAD 圆4 Plus 6 in the demo mode and NETLOAD the TextInBoxSample.dll.Now we are back in nanoCAD (this time we will use nanoCAD 圆4 Plus 6 as the latest nanoCAD version).Select the new entity and change its text in the Properties window.APPLOAD ZLoader.arx (the enabler application for ZWCAD) from the mg10 subfolder.Now we continue editing the drawing in ZWCAD 2014, build 2014.06.25(24082). Loading the MultiCAD.NET application into ZWCAD Move and resize the created entity with grips.Select the entity and change its text string in the Properties window.
dll module for all CAD platforms, whether it is nanoCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and it is 32- or 64-bit).
Download and unpack the MultiCAD_Enabler_1603.zip archive with a set of MultiCAD object enablers.Now we are going to AutoCAD 2010-2014 (32- or 64-bit) to open and edit the drawing. Loading the MultiCAD.NET application into AutoCAD Save drawing to the TextInBox.dwg file.Run the TextInBox command and create a TextInBox Entity.Load the TextInBoxSample.dll into nanoCAD by the NETLOAD or APPLOAD command.Be sure that the assembly file TextInBoxSample.dll is unblocked after downloading (right click the file -> Properties -> General -> Unblock).Download and unpack the TextInBoxSample.zip archive to the local drive.As the sample application we will use the application that creates TextInBox custom entities described in this post. You can use free nanoCAD 5.0 or paid nanoCAD Plus 6.0 in Demo mode, both can be downloaded from. Let’s start with nanoCAD as the native platform for MultiCAD.NET to create the example drawing. Loading a MultiCAD.NET application into nanoCAD In this walkthrough we will load a MultiCAD.NET sample application into nanoCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and edit the drawing created with the application in these three CAD platforms.
To run MultiCAD.NET applications in AutoCAD and ZWCAD the special application called MultiCAD Object Enabler is needed. The MultiCAD.NET API is built into nanoCAD and applications are loaded by the standard NETLOAD or APPLOAD commands. Applications developed with MultiCAD.NET are cross-CAD-platform and can be run in all supported CAD programs without recompiling.
