About PlantManager…
My interest in this project began when I purchased AutoCAD (Release 12) to support my work as a landscape architect and discovered the included programming tools could make documentation more interesting and improve productivity.
The software has evolved over many years, its capabilities and features expanded with the benefit of a wide range of ideas and suggestions – along with complaints about errors – from colleagues and other users.
Hopefully you find it easy to set up, useful, and sometimes fun!
Thanks…
This project would not be possible without the commitment of others who’s tools and support have greatly helped in the long development journey.
The toolset to create PlantManager’s interface would not be possible without the tireless work of Owen Wengerd who provides ongoing development and maintenance of OpenDCL. Thanks also to the original author, Chad Wanless.
Another coding trojan is Daniel Marcotte who has created, maintained and shares tools to enable database access from CAD.
Dynamic label placement tools are shared by Alexander Rivilis
Gilles Chanteau from Marseille, another master of the art, has shared numerous code exemplars over the years along with helpful library functions.
Setup software is provided by Jordan Russell and Martijn Laan who develop and maintain Inno Setup.
And big thanks to the Australian Plants Society South Australian Region Inc, for sharing the Australian Plant Database.
Always keen to get feedback and ideas for improvement.
