Coding Python Nodes for Dynamo for Civil 3D in an External IDE

Now I see that he was probably referring to coding in that environment and then copying it over?

That’s correct. It would be a challenge to actually hook it up to an AutoCAD process (via COM API). There’s this example for Revit, but I haven’t seen it done with AutoCAD. Probably because if you’re going to go through all of that work, you may as well just write ZT nodes.

Debugging Python Code

Made a shinny new development toy, I though it might be useful to a few of you; allows you to launch an interactive console from a breakpoint anywhere in your python code. Demo: [image] More info here: http://revitpythonwrapper.readthedocs.io/en/latest/forms.html#console
