What problem does it solve?

Developers and CAD tool integrators need to extend AutoCAD's behavior through events and overrules to customize how objects are created, drawn, transformed, and interacted.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Subscribing to Database, Document, Application, and Editor events to respond to changes in objects, documents, and the editor context.
• Implementing ObjectOverrule, DrawableOverrule, TransformOverrule, and GripOverrule to override default operations and rendering.
• Use Case: enforce custom rules during object creation, control drawing augmentations, or restrict transformations for specific entity types.

Quick Start

Create a plugin that registers an overrule in Initialize, subscribe to relevant events, and unhooks them in Terminate.
