the only change that I see is that you can not use the plugin offline. Please check this because if the internet fails you can not use it. The same is for the Octane stand alone v3 beta.
Yes - I think this is deliberate, and only during the alpha and beta period. You should be able to use the plugin offline in the post-beta version.

In my experience, unless many people request a feature from Autodesk, it will not be implemented.

I will do a new installer for AutoCAD 2017 shortly after the Easter break.

I have downloaded and begun the plugin build process but not got everything working yet. I cannot see anything able AEC object support in the API changes, but will know more in the next day or so. http://hyperpics.blogs.com/beyond_the_u ... ation.html

I have been able to convert to plugin to work with AutoCAD 2017. And no, sorry, AutoCAD 2017 still does not support accessing the geometry for AEC objects. Is someone able to test the 2017 version pls?

Hi Paul

I had been testing the plugin in Autocad 2017 and I had found some differences in triangulations comparing with Autocad 2014, both plugins lastest version (v 3.06).

regards

Guillermo
