Properties

Types Type [get, set]
 
RootedPathname AcadExePathname [get, set]
 Normally ThermalDesktop.Connect() uses the latest version of AutoCAD it finds on your machine. Set AcadExePathname to the location of another acad.exe to force it to use that version of AutoCAD. Caution: some older versions of AutoCAD may not work with OpenTD.
 
string StartDirectory [get, set]
 The starting directory for the acad.exe process. For the current working directory, see ThermalDesktop.GetCurrentWorkingDirectory().
 
string Address [get, set]
 
static string DefaultAddress [get]
 
string AddressUsed [get, set]
 
int PortUsed [get, set]
 
RootedPathname DwgPathname [get, set]
 Path to dwg file to open or attach to if already opened. If left blank and TdConnectConfig.Type allows it, ThermalDesktop.Connect() will start a new, blank drawing. Do not use this member to find the current dwg name. Instead, use ThermalDesktop.GetCurrentDwgPathname().
 
TimeoutProperties StartTimeout [get, set]
 Controls how long OpenTD will try to connect to TD before timing out.
 
bool AcadVisible [get, set]
 Controls whether a newly-started instance of TD will be visible.
 
bool ShowAcadSplashScreen [get, set]
