## Summary
Usually, when developing and debugging an addin with **Autocad** or **Civil3D** API, user has to close & re-open **Autocad** or **Civil3D** each time
he/she modifies the addin code and wants to re-compile. But with **Add-In Manager**, user can modify and run the Addin.
directly without closing & re-opening **Autocad** or **Civil3D** again and again.This is a next branch from [Revit Addin Manager](https://github.com/chuongmep/RevitAddInManager)
to support multiple platform API for developer. With current technology, you can use [Hot Reload](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/debugger/hot-reload?view=vs-2022) to speed it up.But try this project it will be faster with any Addin.
- [x] [Revit Add-In Manager](https://github.com/chuongmep/RevitAddInManager)
- [x] [Navis Add-In Manager](https://github.com/chuongmep/NavisAddInManager)
- [x] [Cad Add-In Manager](https://github.com/chuongmep/CadAddInManager)
Some feature include:
- A newbie can create a new Add-in and explore **AutoCAD or Civil3D API** easy with Add-in manager.
- Add-in tester(use Debug and Trace to test your add-in).
- **Debug / Trace** : Support Show result use [Debug](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.diagnostics.debug?view=net-6.0) or [Trace](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.diagnostics.trace?view=net-6.0) to show result in Autocad or Civil3D.
- Add-in manager
- AddInManager Manual : Use for normal process load/unload addin
- AddInManager Faceless : use for load last process before addin without UI
- Allow user know whether plugin can load successfully or not.
- F5 - Load fresh plugin don't need load again.
- F1 - Go link open source report some error,bug or feature request.
- Delete - Quick remove by use right click or use from keyboard.
- Crt + MouseWheel - Zoom in/out by use mouse wheel in command plugin.
- Arrow Up - Move from TreeView to search.
- Arrow Down - Move from search to TreeView.
- Esc - Quick Close Add-in Manager.
- Enter - Quick Run Execute a command selected in Add-in Manager.
## Add-In Manager
### Command
- [x] AddInManagerManual
- [x] AddInManagerFaceless
Execute a command easily :
1. Create a class library use .NET
2. Add library Autocad API or Civil3D API
3. Create a command, example:
```cs
[CommandMethod("DoSomething")]
public void Execute()
{
// do some thing code here
}
```
4.Load To Add-in Manager.
5.Double click to run command.
6.Use faceless when you change code or rebuild.
### Lisp Function
Execute a Lisp Function easily :
1. Create a class library use .NET
2. Add library Autocad API or Civil3D API
3. Create a Lisp Function, example:
```cs
[LispFunction("DisplayFullName")]
public static void DisplayFullName(ResultBuffer rbArgs)
{
if (rbArgs != null)
{
string strVal1 = "";
string strVal2 = "";
int nCnt = 0;
foreach (TypedValue rb in rbArgs)
{
if (rb.TypeCode == (int) LispDataType.Text)
{
switch (nCnt)
{
case 0:
strVal1 = rb.Value.ToString();
break;
case 1:
strVal2 = rb.Value.ToString();
break;
}
nCnt = nCnt + 1;
}
}
Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor.WriteMessage("\nName: " + strVal1 + " " + strVal2);
MessageBox.Show("Updated");
}
}
```
4.Load To Add-in Manager.
5.Use Reload when you change code or rebuild.
6.Run Lisp Function [example](https://github.com/chuongmep/CadAddinManager/blob/9982d2a2b32591f508c0ce0e55e0d636ba38092c/Test/FunctionLispTest.cs#L9-L34) : `(displayfullname "First" "Last") `
### Trace/Debug
- [x] Show/Hide result inside Dockpanel Autocad and Civil3D.
- [x] Show Result history inside CadAddinManager.
- [x] Clear Result.
- [X] Show Result by color.
A sample command to execute:
```csharp
using System.Diagnostics;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime;
public class DebugTraceTest
{
[CommandMethod("DebugTraceTest")]
public void Action()
{
//Trace or Debug Something
Trace.WriteLine($"Warning: This is a warning");
Trace.WriteLine($"Error: This is a error");
Trace.WriteLine($"Add: This is a add");
Trace.WriteLine($"Modify: This is a modify");
Trace.WriteLine($"Delete: This is a delete");
}
}
```
