| New Feature Analysis-the Best IntelliCAD for ARX Based Application |
ARX applications based on CAD platform software have played an vital role in CAD design work,but for the result of technology obstacle, IntelliCAD could not be able to realize the ARX support for a long time. Because of this, it' s very difficult for many application developers do the re-development on intellicad.Whether support the IntelliCAD ARX re-development becomes the most concerned topic for the CAD users and re-developers.
In order to solve this problem which feazes all ITC members for a long time, GreatStar team have invest the massive capital and human resources to meet the needs from CAD market. In August, 2007, Greatstar released IntelliCAD-GStarICAD 2007, which is the first IntelliCAD which support ARX development .GStarICAD 2007 ARX is different from DRX which would be soon released by ITC organization. GStarICAD 2007' s availability has already been validated by 10 re-developers and it is no need to do excessive code revision on the re-development software.
Though GStarICAD ARX is not same as AutoCAD ARX in every aspect, GStarICAD platform provides original code development interface which is compatible with AutoCAD ObjectARX. The user only need to do some simply translation and edition on the program, and the program can run under the GStarICAD directly,which was consistent with AutoCAD platform. At present, GStarICAD 2007 can support 95% ARX development except the proxy entity and reactor. Only few revisions, Application developers could run the software under the GStarICAD 2007. This feature widely enlarge GStarICAD' s availability on the existing re-development software, so GStarICAD users do not need to spend extra money on replacing the CAD platform.
Support ARX is the key feature which presents GreatStar' s technology innovation.Based on the IntelliCAD source code, GreatStar has already modified tens of thousands bugs, so GStarICAD has more reliable stability, high-performance and powerful functions comparing with other CAD products.
Notes: The ARX programming environment is an object-oriented C++ application programming interface that enables developers to use, customize, and extend AutoCAD. An ARX application is a dynamic link library(DLL) that shares AutoCAD's address space and makes direct function calls to AutoCAD. Designed with extensibility in mind, the ARX libraries include macros to facilitate defining new classes and offer the ability to add functionality to existing classes in the library at run time.
Based on C++ as the basic development language,ObjectARX libraries provide a versatile set of tools for application developers to take advantage of the open architecture of AutoCAD software and provide direct access to the AutoCAD database structures, graphics system, and native command definition ObjectARX technology helps you develop fast, efficient, compact applications. It enables power users to customize AutoCAD software and frees CAD designers from repetitive tasks. Smaller files, faster drawing operations, and smooth interoperability make an application built with ObjectARX your best choice for a design software solution.
