The implementation of the tool is quite straightforward but the functionality is really very compelling: after having NETLOADed the tool and run the CLIPBOARD command, as you use Ctrl-C to copy drawing objects from inside AutoCAD to the clipboard a custom palette gets populated with entries containing these sets of objects. Mark was inspired by the “clipboard ring” functionality that used to be in Microsoft Office (at least I say “used to be” because I haven’t found it in Office 2007), and decided to implement similar functionality in AutoCAD. Mark has been drafting/designing with AutoCAD for the last 10+ years and, during this time, has used a variety of programming languages to customize AutoCAD: LISP, VBA and now VB.NET. This is a very cool little application developed by Mark Dubbelaar from Australia. Here’s a link to Scott’s post announcing the tool. As Scott is leaving on a well-deserved sabbatical, he has gone ahead and posted our next Plugin of the Month a few days ahead of schedule.
