Hello,
I'm not aware of any AutoCAD Sundial plugins but I have, prior to using
PostScript exclusively (see recent e-mail), used AutoCAD and imported
script files (*.scr) to generate some of my earlier sundials. The script
file contained both the coordinates of the calculated sundial points and
the relevant ACAD commands e.g., the pline (polyline) command was used
to connect the pts with a smooth curve. You might also try the ACAD LISP
interpreter and write a LISP program to calculate the sundial directly
within the ACAD environment. ACAD LISP isn't exactly what I'd call user
friendly programming however, (if there is such a thing!). In the end
though, there is nothing better (from what I've found) than PostScript.
Regards,
Luke Coletti
