AutoCAD 2010 :: Selection Filter / Drawing In PDF Format Into DXF
Feb 8, 2012
I converted a drawing in pdf format into dxf. I'm using Autocad 2012 to edit the file. The dxf conversion is good, but of course there is no difference between the diffent kind of lines.
I would like to select all lines which have an orientation of 30° with the horizontal and put them into a new layer. Is there a way to do that ? I though about using a filter.
Then I will edit the properties oh those lines (color, thickness, type....).

In 2011 every so often I get this error "One or more objects in this drawing cannot be saved to the specified format. The operation was not completed and no file was created." This happens and I just go and click file or regen and sometimes it just saves the file other times it does not.

Users: Windows 7, AutoCad 2011 update 2 applied
Windows Server 2008 r2
Data stored on a network share
Network licenses on a separate server
My problem started when we moved all of the users data to a new Windows 2008 r2 server. Searching and file navigation was slow so we turned on Windows Search service. Greatly improved network searches (users do content as well as file name searches).
Then Autocad started having errors when trying to save or create dwf files. The error "One or more objects in the drawing cannot be saved to the specified format. The operation was not completed and no file was created." Users can save the drawing to the local drive without the error.

I have data in an Excel spreadsheet that I want to insert into the drawing in a table format that replicates my spreadsheet formatting and creates AutoCAD entities as opposed to a bitmap image or the mess the TABLE command generates - I'm looking to keep my text consistent within the drawing and I still use the old SIMPLEX font.

When I select a hatch or polyline or any object with grips for that matter, and hold down shift to select multiple grips on the object or objects and then press my middle mouse button to pan or scroll it to zoom, the grips that I have selected de-select, meaning I have to set up the view so that all the grips I want to move are visible before selecting them.
This is only happening on some drawings (although it is most of them) and only when I use 2012 not 2011. Which system variable it is that has gone screwy that I need to reset? or is it something else?

The following code filter all lines which are in the layer "0" and line weight is 0.35. But it does not. my selection set is empty.
Dim typVal(2) As TypedValue
typVal(0) = New TypedValue(DxfCode.Start, "LINE")
typVal(1) = New TypedValue(DxfCode.LayerName, layName)
typVal(2) = New TypedValue(DxfCode.LineWeight, Convert.ToInt16(0.35))
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dim sf As SelectionFilter = New SelectionFilter(typVal)
Dim ss As SelectionSet = ed.SelectAll(sf).Value

I need a selection filter to find text objects within a rectangular area using dxf operators (do not want to use Editor.SelectWindow).
Whats wrong with the following code attempt?
It causes Fatal Error!
TypedValue[] tv2 = new TypedValue[15];
tv2.SetValue(new TypedValue((int)DxfCode.Start, "TEXT"), 0);
tv2.SetValue(new TypedValue((int)DxfCode.Operator, "<and"), 1);
[Code]....

I wonder if its possible to apply a filter to a subset of entities (that could be the result of a previous filtering).

to select object on a single layer
Dim strLayer as string = "road"acTypValAr.SetValue(New TypedValue(DxfCode.LayerName, strLayer), 2)
how do you select all objects on multiple layers
Dim strLayer as string = "road,sidewalks"acTypValAr.SetValue(New TypedValue(DxfCode.LayerName, strLayer), 2)
the above does not work. how do you select all objects on multiple layers?

I'm trying to select two specific types of blocks from a drawing so that I can create layouts for each one of the pairs of blocks in my drawing. Basically, one block is the outline of the piece of the drawing and the second contains information about the drawing. I would like to select all of the outline blocks and then create a selection to get the second block which is inside the bounds of the first block.
I'm not sure how to create a set of typed values to do this. Here is my code so far which sets up a filter to get the first block and then for each of the blocks that it finds, it would select the block with all of the information which is where I am having problems. I don't know how to create a filter based upon location of the block.
using (Transaction tr = acCurDb.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()) { filList = new TypedValue[] { new TypedValue((int)DxfCode.Operator,"<and"), new TypedValue((int)DxfCode.Start,"INSERT"), new TypedValue((int)DxfCode.BlockName,"D-1*"), new TypedValue((int)DxfCode.Operator,"and>")}; // Build a filter list so that only block references are selected filter = new SelectionFilter(filList); //Select all res =
[code]........

I'm using a typed value list to create a selection filter to use with Editor.SelectAll(filter) method. The selection returns both frozen & un-frozen entities. Is there a way to filter out frozen objects using the filter?

I'm trying to use a Selection Filter on Block Reference XData value. But I get no hits, it works fine with Lines and Polylines that has the same kind of XData.
Is it a bug or do I have to define my Selection Filter differently when working with Block Reference?
Here is a part of the code :
TypedValue[] flt = new TypedValue[]
{
new TypedValue(-4, " new TypedValue(-4, " new TypedValue(8, "POLYLINE_LAYER"),
new TypedValue(1001, "Object_Id"),
new TypedValue(1000, "166448"),
new TypedValue(-4, "AND>"),
[code].......

I'm putting together some quick function that I can send 2 arguments and get from it the total area of a given hatch on the given layer. I think everything is in order but I'm having trouble with the selection set filter:
(DEFUN GET-HATCH-AREA (HATCH LAYR / area sset) (COND((AND(ssget "X" '((0 . "HATCH") (2 . HATCH) (8 . LAYR))) (SETQ area 0) (VLAX-FOR H (SETQ sset (VLA-GET-ACTIVESELECTIONSET (VLA-GET-ACTIVEDOCUMENT (VLAX-GET-ACAD-OBJECT)))) (SETQ area (+ (VLA-GET-AREA h) area))) (ALERT(STRCAT "Total area = " (IF (OR (= (GETVAR "lunits") 3) (= (GETVAR "lunits") 4) ) (STRCAT (RTOS area 2) " sq. in. (" (RTOS (/ area 144) 2) " sq. ft.)") (RTOS area) ) ) ) (VLA-DELETE sset) ) ) ))

Any settings where you can switch on/off the selection filter popup? Mine is just gone. Under application options I don't see anything to do with switching it off.

I have a problem with selecting all references to a specific dynamic block. When I use the filter below only block “D2” is selected, which is not a dynamic block, Block "Bulb120227” which is a dyn block is not
Dim values() As TypedValue = { _
New TypedValue(0, "INSERT"), _
New TypedValue(-4, "<OR"), _
New TypedValue(2, "D2"), _
New TypedValue(2, "Bulb120227"), _
New TypedValue(-4, "OR>") _
}
How should the filter be done to filter out the dyn block that I want several block should be filtered out in one selection.If it is possible to achieve with just a filter at all?

I have determine that my AutoCad 2009 will allow me to drag/drop layers to an existing Group Layer Filter, but it will not allow me to right click on the Group Filter>Select Layers>Add. Once I go to the model space an select layers then "enter" no layers are added to the Filter Group and it gives me an error message that says "unable to modify layers while another command is active".

I was wondering how to develop a Selection Set Filter that will select only Cogo Points? I know I need to use Dxf.Start as the code, but then what's the string associated with Cogo Points? Can't find any documentation on this or any Civil 3D-unique entities...I know Line is just "Line" and "Arc" is just arc...but Polyline is the unintuitive "LWPolyline" and "Cogo Point" isn't working.

I have some strings like the ones below. They are always in the same format. The first line is Cold Water, the second is Hot Water and the third is Hot Water Return.
I want to build a selection set based on whether it is CW, HWS or HWR. Right now I have a routine to retrieve the string by using ENTSEL. In other words if I want to use the line of text for Cold Water I have to select it.
I'd like to be able to window them all and filter the SS for only the string containing CW and conversly HWS and HWR. SSGET function filter.
"2''CW-52.0 WSFU"
"2''HWS-48.0 WSFU+12 GPM"
"1"HWR-12 GPM "

I use a lot of Group Layer Filters so I can turn things on/off quickly. My problem is I have been creating my Layer Filter Group by right clicking on the Layer Group Filter>going to Selection>then click Add> then go back to my drawing or Layout tab and select all of the layers I need then click enter. One day my AutoCad would not let me do that anymore, and even after I click on enter it gives me an error message saying the command is still active. Now from my Layer Properties Manager I can select any layer and drag/drop it into any filter and it works, but I really need to be able to select things within the model space or paper of each layout tabs.

Part of an app I'm building needs to select entities based on symbology.
The filtering criteria varies and can be somewhat complex depending on what the user is after. (Multiple layers, entities, colors, linetypes, and lineweights)
I was going to try and use the SelectionFilter with the TypeValue, DxfCodes, and a SelectAll, but I'm not seeing a way to grab entities based on color book color.
Is there a better way to filter through the drawing by symbology?

Is it possible to filter a selection (6 categories checked instead of 10) and make it as a view template?
So that next time I open up this view, only these 6 categories checked in the filter instead of re-doing the filtering again?

I have AutoCAD LT 2008 soon to be LT 2012 and I also have AutoCAD 2012.
I would like to know if there is a way that I can set up a Layer Filter and transfer it from one drawing to another.
Ideally we would be able to do this in the LT version not full. If there is some way to do this with Tool Palletes that would be great.
