I want to create a function to pick a profileView(Alignment/.. in the future) in the drawing. I just get entity which type is Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.ImpCurve from GetEntity, and I failed when I try to cast it to Autodesk.AECC.Interop.Land.AeccProfileView. Is there any way I can pick a profile from drawing in .net?
Civil 3D 2007 and Visual Studio 2005
Is there an easy way to get the geometric extents of a profile view and bands? It appears that in Civil 3D 2013 .NET the Geometric Extents returns the extents of the profile excluding the bands. I don't like the prospects of either doing the math for all of the bands assigned to the profile view or exploding the profile view to get it and the bands as a block and getting the extents that way.

View 9 Replies View RelatedWe have survey files that we xref into our design files. In the survey files themselves, the points don't change color. When we xref them in, the point markers (only the circular node on the actual point, not the line coming off of it) take on the color of whatever the current layer is in the drawing, only fixable by changing the current letter and regenerating.

I have programmatically created a block, which resembles the protective tube schematically drawn. The block consists of two ellipses of connected the two lines. This block tries to modify (also programmable). The modification consists of changing the position of the ellipse and the length of the line. Everything (almost) goes smoothly, until the pipe extends beyond its original length. The changes are visible, but I'm not able to pick the block beyond its original contour. So I can pick out such lines, if picked point is on the original length, but beyond its original length is not already. The same applies to the ellipse. The situation returned to normal, if I tried stretch the block (base point) or command _move. Regeneration of the model does not work.

I was drafting away, and all of a sudden my crosshairs and pickbox disappeared. Once I move the mouse there's nothing in my drawing plane. I can type commands, and when I move the mouse up to the menu area I can pull down menus. I've opened up other drawings and the crosshairs and pick box are there.
What can I do to resolve this? Of course it happens during a deadline.

In selecting a point in a drawing to connect new poly lines to existing objects, is there a way to set the order to which osnap elements are used?I have perhaps 1/2 of the osnap element settings activated. End point, Mid point, Node, Intersection, etc.
When I go to select, it's like everything EXCEPT End Point is recognizing. And while I can go to right click, and select end point, I am now wondering, if besides the rt click, there is a way to preset the priority, or order in which the osnap elements recognize the type.Without resetting the settings each time.
I'm writing a program (C#) that automates the notch tool within the frame generator add-in in Inventor. I can select one part and then select multiple other parts that will notch to the first selected part automatically. This will save me a TON of time if I get it working correctly. With that being said, I have it to the the point where the user selects the first part and then window multiple parts (these are stored and then cycled through later), then I use SendKeys to open the "Notch Tool", and now this is where I encounter my problem.
The Notch Tool is waiting for the user to Pick/Select one part. In my code I've tried to use the CommandManager.DoSelect method which does not register with the tool (I'll exit out of the tool and the part will be selected). My thinking is that this notch tool will only accept the CommandManager.Pick method which would defeat the purpose of the program as I do not want the user to have to go through the parts one by one notching them together.
Is there a way to simulate a mouse click on a selected occurrence within Inventor? Is there another approach I should be considering? And finally, how to rewrite the actual notch tool to allow multiple notches to be done at once?! I'll post a snippet of my code.
docName = instance.ActiveDocument.DisplayName;
int iHandle = NativeWin32.FindWindow(null, "Autodesk Inventor 2012 - [" + docName + "]");
this.Hide();
NativeWin32.SetForegroundWindow(iHandle);
keybd_event(0x23, 0x4F, 0, 0); // Press End
keybd_event(0x23, 0xCF, 0, 0); // Release End (Brings up notch tool)
Thread.Sleep(3000);
//keybd_event(0x28, 0x0F, 0, 0); // Press Tab
//keybd_event(0x09, 0x8F, 0, 0); // Release Tab
NativeWin32.SetForegroundWindow(iHandle);
Thread.Sleep(500);

i am trying to make a custom palette to display some custom information pulled out from selected objects.i can deal with the palette part.
i want some code for when you click an object in model space then the property palette updates. i am gonna keep it simple so this custom palette only refresh to the last selected object. but i don't know how to make an event when mouse click the autocad object and then do my things. any codes in c# or vb.net would be nice.
so use commandmethod load in a command and there will be a palette there stay open, when user click on an object then it will get populated. what event do i use for the clicking?
Have noticed that on an AutoCAD 2013 workstation when the user make an ambiguous pick (that it, pick on top of two or more overlapped items) instead of just selecting one of them, there will appear a list box (whose caption is "Selection") containing all entities that may be selected in that spot and also None option. The user may pick the entity(ies) he/she want to have selected, but this behavior also prevents dragging the entities (since the said list box is shown again).

Ordinarily, when I am trying to select multiple object, I can just create multiple selection boxes and it keeps adding more and more objects to my selection.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to understand how to select element of pick point through API.
I have found example in API manual, chapter "Interactive selection". Everything seems be clear but finally this example (and also others which I have found on web) doesnot work as I am expecting.
There is example:
Public Sub TestSelection() ' Create a new clsSelect object. Dim oSelect As New clsSelect ' Call the pick method of the clsSelect object and set ' the filter to pick any face. Dim oFace As Face Set oFace = oSelect.Pick(kPartFaceFilter) ' Check to make sure an object was selected. If Not oFace Is Nothing Then ' Display the area of the selected face.'''' there is cursor and content menu correct
[code]...
I am able to select face, during selection is cursor shown as arrow with plus symbol, content menu show correctly zoom and pan commands. Unfortunatelly when this selection is done and message box show the value, the cursor and content menu does not return to correct state. Cursor is still with plus and content menu with zoom&pan. I have found that problem is with messagebox, just before messagebox is shown the cursor and content menu return to correct state , but after messagebox is shown and closed, then cursor and content menu is wrong. Why?
Finally I need it for my addin in C#, is there and better way how to select item or input 2d point?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI need my users to pick a point p, enter a distance r and a direction v. A new point should be created r units away in vectorial direction. Therefore, the new point is located on an imaginary circle with radius r and center p.
Currently, the user picks the first point and enters a distance. Then, he has to pick another point (Editor.GetPoint with UseBasePoint = true), I calculate the vector between both points, create a new point (with location = BasePoint.location) and translate it d units in vectorial direction. This works of course, but the problem is, that the user doesn't see directly, where his new point is located, since he may pick a point closer to or farther away then r units.
Naively spoken, I want to restrict the line between BasePoint and new point while prompting the user to a fixed length. Native calls to ObjectARX-methods would be also okay.
Is there any built in option for a symbol to have a pull down pick list of options? I know that you can make it have a prompted entry, but can you do a sim idea with a pick list?

Without the while loop, single execution works perfectly. But the while loop to emulate multiple (recursive) execution raises some issues.
My problem occurs during execution of my VB.NET code, and has to do with display of the generated entities after the user picks points.
User picks the start point, then picks the end point, but nothing is displayed in the modelspace; rather, user is prompted immediately to pick start point and end point all over again (because of the while loop I used to emulate VBA's GOTO).
However, once user presses ESC, all the leaders and blocks that were drawn during the execution of the while loop are immediately displayed.
Is there a way for me to make it so that EACH time the while loop executes, the end product is IMMEDIATELY displayed in modelspace at the end of EACH loop, BEFORE the user is prompted to pick points all over again (beginning of the next loop)?
The VBA code executes as expected during runtime, as a result of the GOTO StartAddTag line of code.
But I can't use GOTO in my VB.NET code because of its messy nature, so I used a while loop instead. And the while loop isn't performing as expected.
I am creating a schedule to pick up the room areas and additional information to do with artificial lighting. That bit is the easy bit.
What I am trying to do is put a column in the schedule that shows how many light points are within that particular space. I have looked into ticking the quantity box, but that picks up just the spaces. If there was a way that this could be used to pick up the blocks in a particular space, and not the spaces that would be the simplest way to solve this (I think anyway).
Just to let you know, I am using Dynamic Blocks for the light fittings. As I can have all the different types within the one block. I have heard that I can do this using the MultiView blocks (I haven't explored this yet), but the amount of blocks that I need is going to be increased (from what I know about MultiView blocks). The simpler this is, the better I believe.
I have tried using Count under the Automaitc Property, but when used, adds the blocks as an extra row, not into the desired column. I may have to add something to the block to get it to do what I want it to do, but don't know how to do this. At the moment, I am putting this information manually into the space properties.
The next part to my question, and again, I maybe asking a bit too much here, but I want to take two totals from two different columns to create an average. If I could do this in the one table, fantastic! If I have to create a second schedule to pick this up, that is ok I suppose, but I would then do the math for it manually and just write it in if that was the case.
