Features: Interactive CAD technology is a widely applied drawing technique. Its main feature is the ability to display the dynamic process of creating and editing graphics, thus offering stronger interactivity. To help more people understand and master this technology, we have written this series of books on the fundamentals of developing interactive CAD systems. The series consists of three books, each introducing the technology using different programming languages. This book is the third in the series, focusing on the development of interactive CAD systems using VB.NET and VC#.NET. It introduces the basic ideas and techniques for creating interactive CAD systems using these two languages, providing complete code examples for small systems in both. Additionally, it discusses alternative implementations of techniques and methods for improving system code. The first three chapters cover the fundamentals of the languages and the .NET framework. Chapters 4 to 8 detail the organizational approach and basic techniques of interactive CAD systems through the creation of a small CAD system. Chapters 9 to 11 introduce more techniques for implementation and system optimization, while Chapter 12 discusses design patterns in the context of CAD programming. The writing follows a step-by-step teaching principle, making the content suitable for readers at different learning stages. All example programs in the book have been debugged and are available on the accompanying CD for easy learning and reference. This book is suitable for engineers, programmers, university students, and graduate students working in the fields of graphics, CAD technology, and programming.
