About the API examples

See the Readme files for information on the examples.

OpenAlias/plugins

In this directory you will find precompiled versions of some of the files in the examples directory. We only precompile plug-ins that have useful functionality as opposed to programming examples. Note, however, that these plug-ins, whether compiled or not, are provided as examples only and are not supported by Autodesk.

Common/include

All the include files necessary to build OpenAlias plug-ins are located in this directory.

Common/examples

Some of the example source code is common between OpenAlias and OpenModel. This source code is located in this directory. Note that you will need to have the compiler flag

-I$(ALIAS_LOCATION)/ODS/Common/examples

in your compile flags (CFLAGS) in your Makefile if you use the AlPrint functions in your programs.
