[Ironruby-core] [AutoCAD and IronRuby]

[Timothy Barnes]

Murat,

I was successful in getting Excel to talk to AutoCAD. I had to revert
back to IronRuby 0.9.1 b/c IronRuby 1+, so far has been kicked out of
Autocad saying that .NET is too new.

Here is what I used:

Applications:
SharpDevelop 4.0 (b/c I'm new to visual studio)
IronRuby 0.9.1
Autocad 2011
Excel 2007

References:
(AutoCAD Specific) -find these files in C:\Program
Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2011 or wherever your program is located at.
acdbmgd.dll
acmgd.dll

IronRuby Libraries -find in Ironruby\bin
IronRuby.dll
IronRuby.Libraries.dll
IronRuby.Libraries.Yaml.dll
Microsoft.Dynamic.dll
Microsoft.Scripting.Core.dll
Microsoft.Scripting.Debugging.dll

Standard Libraries
System.dll
System.Core.dll
System.Xml.dll
System.Xml.Linq.dll

Code:
AL.cs - C# bridge (build project and type 'netload' in AutoCAD to load
resulting .dll file)

xl_2_acad.rb - after you have successfully load ironruby type 'RBLOAD' @
AutoCAD command prompt and select this file

xl_2_acad.xlsx - must be at location 'C:\xl_2_acad.xlsx' to work or
change ruby script

I have attached the code and excel files that I used. (the ruby code is 
literally thrown together) Let me know if your were successful.  I will 
continue to try and get IronRuby 1+ to work and even possibly the 
'win32ole' library since I am used to scripting excel with it instead of 
the .net methods. Also I will try and get David's helper methods up and 
working.


Timothy
