interesting, so does that mean there will be more progress.
I wouldn't say so. Open Design has released new libraries with R2010 support, but hasn't updated the publicly available specs. That means, they have reverse engineered R2010 but have not released it.
Is anyone here a member of this group? are we working on api compatibility with opendesign libs? does anyone have header files?
No, the headers are not available unless you pay for membership. Nonetheless, I think it would be illegal to copy them since they are non-free, I suppose.
Anyway, I've seen software that uses DWGDirect and the API seems too complicated. I think that our API approach, at least what we've done so far, is simpler and easier to use.
