What is ObjectDCL?

ObjectDCL is an enabling technology that allows drawing dialog boxes in AutoCAD®, easily and with more control than ever before. Configuration tabs can even be added to the AutoCAD® Options/Preferences dialog.

With ObjectDCL, the days of creating dialog boxes with the time consuming and confusing language of DCL are over. From now on dialogs are drawn quicker, easier and better. ObjectDCL provides more visual components and more customization options than were possible before with DCL.

What once took hours or even days to create can now be drawn in minutes. ObjectDCL includes all the dialog box styles and all the grid controls.

Why using ObjectDCL?

Increase the rate of adoption of your scripted applications by making them more accessible. Save time developing your applications by simplifying dialog creation and management. Make your scripted applications more interactive.

The return on investment (ROI) in less than 6 months for companies with five (5) or more technical drafters.
