Associative functionality in the Autocad .net API

Question: What is the most exciting thing since sliced bread?

The answer is AutoCad’s associative framework. It’s been two years since it’s been released, and it’s arguably one of the most powerful features of AutoCAD which has now been exposed to .net. You’d hardly know it exists because hardly anyone seems to talk about it in the forums. Anyways, I”m really excited about this new tool and I hope to be walking you all through it in the upcoming few weeks.

There’s a tutorial out there: http://au.autodesk.com/au-online/classes-on-demand/class-catalog/2014/autocad/sd5217

but I suspect it might be too hard-core for most of you so I really want to simplify it and walk you through the process. I hope you’ll derive as much pleasure from devouring it, as I will have producing it.
