The help documentation for AutoCAD Civil 3D .NET API (create from product’s dll via Doxygen)

To show generated online-docs visit page. To show local-documentation (*.CHM) look folder docs_chm.

To show original documentation as in web-view look here, it’s material from here

The structire of repo

-docs: directory with generated HTML-help via Doxygen; -docs_chm: directory for CHM-files; -libs: directory for .NET DLL assemblies (original subfolder contains raw DLL as in product installation; reference subfolder contains reference-libraries (maked with JetBrains Refasmer-library; -refasmer_cli: compiled RefasmerCliTool-utility from JetBrains’s project (look above);

• src: the directory with “source code” of AutoCAD Civil 3D .NET API, produced by reference assemblies and dnSpy-utility and cleaned by some auxiliary elements.

• ac3d_icon.png: the icon for Doxygen’s projects; Doxyfile_ac3d: Doxygen’s configs for create documentation for specific version of Civil 3D .NET API;

Short guide how create docs for need VERSION manually

1. Get libraries from installation folder (from folder like that "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD VERSION\C3D", all assemblies with Mgd suffix);
2. Place libraries in libs\original\VERSION subfolder;
3. Create a script for Reasmer-utility like below:

   "refasmer_cli\RefasmerCliTool" --public --omit-non-api-members=false --v --O  "libs\reference\2023" "libs\original\2023\AeccCogoMgd.dll" "libs\original\2023\AeccDataShortcutMgd.dll" "libs\original\2023\AeccDbMgd.dll" "libs\original\2023\AeccHydroCalcsMgd.dll" "libs\original\2023\AeccLogMgd.dll" "libs\original\2023\AeccPressurePipesMgd.dll" "libs\original\2023\AeccUiMgd.dll"
   

4. Open creted libraries in libs\reference\VERSION directory in any .NET decompile-utility, f.e. in dnSpy and decompile them to project in src\VERSION;
5. Clean some files and directories; I had been using Everithing-utility with next config \src\2023" *_* | *$* | *&* | *-* | std | msclr | *,*;
6. Create a copy of Doxygen’s config in root of repository and set the VERSION-folder in INPUT and OUTPUT tags. To create a local-CHM and html-collection you need edit config manually and run it;
7. Profit!
